AUTOSTAK®

Store virtually anything - cost effectively and with quick access.

The AUTOSTAK® Automated Parts-To-Person System has been designed to meet a broad range of storage and retrieval applications in manufacturing, distribution, retail, and warehouse operations. The combination of optimal storage density, flexible, efficient storage strategies, ergonomics and security makes the AUTOSTAK® from Rapistak a unique storage management solution.

The modular AUTOSTAK® Automated Parts-To-Person System is an enclosed system of vertically and horizontally arranged trays that are stored on either side of the unit.

There is an extractor device located in the center, which automatically delivers steel pallets with the stored items into the access opening at the push of a button or scan of a bar code.

The device is modular in its construction with the ability to change its length and number of access openings pre and post construction. Depending on the ceiling height, at least 50% of a conventional storage system's occupied floor space can be recovered.
