MINI-LOAD

Storage And Retrieval Machine For

Small Loads At Great Heights
The Very Latest Technology:
Long-Lasting And Economical
More than 45 years of experience goes into the design
and production of our storage and retrieval machines.
Besides performance and efficiency, we pay special
attention to stability and robustness – and hence dura-
bility and the security of your investments.
A steel construction, optimized for weight, is used
through­out. Troublesome interfaces at junctions
between different materials are therefore ruled out.
Components particularly at risk, e.g. the mast–chassis
connection, are specially strengthened in all DAMBACH
MINI-LOAD SRMs.
The finite element method (FEM) is used to analyze the
mast design. The analysis takes into account not only
the forces acting on the mast, but also the vibrations
of the SRMs themselves. These – and the weight – have
a major influence on efficiency. For the fact is that the
greater the storage height, the greater the s­ ignificance
of these vibrations.
Suitable For The Harshest Cold Store Conditions:
From design to assembly and installation, the
MINI-LOAD series is configured for extreme
temperatures down to -30°C. Both the compo­
nents used and the production of the SRMs
themselves are designed for the conditions
encountered in cold stores.

Modular Drives:
For Many Requirements
Depending on performance requirements, various
drive modules can be fitted for travelling and maneu­
vering: single or twin wheel drive, or twin wheel plus
antisway drive. The drive modules are connected to
the chassis via standard interfaces and therefore are
easily exchanged should the warehouse situation
change in the future.

And where even more performance is needed, a third

drive unit can be installed to reduce the overturning
moment and damp vibrations. Faster positioning times
with high acceleration are the result. The modular
concept also allows the performance of the SRMs to
be upgraded later.

Lifting operations are carried out by an integral lifting

and lowering rope that pulls the load handling device
up and down. The high a ­ cceleration d
­ uring lifting
and lowering ensures shorter cycle times.

No Compromises:
Perfectly Synchronized
Control
When great heights and small approach tolerances are
involved, positioning can be carried out – as an option
– with a camera directly in the racking.

The drive wheels of the twin wheel drive or twin wheel

plus antisway drive are driven via a slip-based torque
control. This compensates for the different rotational
speeds of the wheels and hence reduces the wear on
the wheels.

The lifting ropes are fitted with overload stress sensors

to increase operational safety and protect the load
handling equipment against mechanical damage in
the event of malfunctions. Fitting the optional energy
­recovery system to the DAMBACH SRM control improves
the energy balance and also reduces operating costs.

Load Handling Devices:

The Right One For Every Job
Various DAMBACH load handling devices can be fitted
to the MINI-LOAD, chosen according to the goods to
be transported and performance require­ments. Both
containers and boxes can be stored.
Telescopic forks are adequate for single-deep storage.
Combination telescopic forks are used for double-deep
storage or to increase the performance at the transfer
on the apron. Additional transport belts avoid the
need to raise the telescopic forks to transfer loads.
The push/pull grab enables double-deep storage
and can carry four unit loads. The push/pull system
with fingers employed here requires very little space,
­meaning that the clearances between the unit loads
in the racking are very small. This system was specially
optimized for the storage and retrieval of boxes.
Pusher devices are available for storing trays or
­special containers.
