Swisslog launches new Tornado mini-load crane


 
Swisslog has announced the availability of its newly-developed Tornado mini-load crane.
 
The Tornado is claimed to be the fastest mini-load crane in its class due to consistent weight optimisation, modern control technology and energy-saving design. The new crane was developed by Swisslog’s recently-established Technology Centre and will be used in future intra-logistics projects undertaken by Swisslog’s Warehouse & Distribution Solutions division.
 
Swisslog’s Tornado mini-load crane is based on a modular system and a shared components concept. The scalable modular approach was applied to all levels of the system (mechanics, electrics, controls) to optimise transportability and simplify installation and maintenance. By using a shared components principle, the number of spare parts can be minimised significantly. The Tornado was designed for high endurance and long intervals between servicing and is therefore ideally suited for 3-shift operation.
 
Through a consistently lightweight construction and simplified design, the Technology Centre achieved a 25 % weight reduction compared to cranes of similar height. Customers will benefit from Swisslog’s extensive experience in optimised crane controls, which contribute to lowering energy consumption in the mini-load system. Tornado controls are an integral part of Swisslog’s standard controls concept AutomationControl.
 
The Tornado mini-load crane can be equipped with various load-handling units to transport cases, totes or trays weighing up to 120 kg. Typical application areas are distribution centres, production storage, buffer storage, the food & beverage sector and chilled or frozen storage. The system supports a height range of 7 to 20 metres and can be used for single- or double-deep storage racks. The Tornado’s maximum operating speed is 6 m/s and its maximum vertical speed is 3 m/s. Swisslog’s mini-load crane also has high acceleration rates of 5 m/s² horizontally and 3 m/s² vertically.
