Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) – SKARAB™ Roll & Drum Storage Systems

What is the SKARAB™ Storage Management System?

The SKARAB™ Storage Management System is a high-density storage solution designed specifically for rolls, drums, coils, and other cylindrical materials. It combines an integrated stacker crane with specialized storage racks, allowing operators to safely store and retrieve heavy rolls without relying on traditional forklifts.

What materials can SKARAB™ store?

SKARAB™ is ideal for storing:

  • Plastic film rolls
  • Paper rolls
  • Fabric rolls
  • Print cylinders
  • Steel coils
  • Cable reels
  • Industrial drums
  • Die rolls and specialty cylindrical products

Its flexible handling options allow it to accommodate a wide range of manufacturing and warehouse applications.

How does SKARAB™ save warehouse space?

Instead of storing materials horizontally on the floor or on conventional pallet racks, SKARAB™ stores rolls vertically in high-density racking. The integrated stacker crane operates in narrow aisles, significantly reducing aisle space requirements while maximizing available cubic storage. Many facilities can condense the same volume of inventory into roughly half the floor space of conventional storage methods.

What roll handling methods are available?

SKARAB™ offers three handling configurations:

  • Probe Handling – Supports rolls up to 2,000 lbs. with a minimum 6-inch core diameter and maximum 60-inch roll length.
  • Cradle Handling – Supports rolls or drums up to 6,000 lbs. with roll lengths up to 60 inches.
  • Mandrel Handling – Supports loads up to 10,000 lbs. with roll diameters up to 60 inches.

This flexibility allows the system to be configured around your specific products.

Does SKARAB™ eliminate the need for forklifts?

For roll storage and retrieval within the system, yes. SKARAB™ uses an integrated stacker crane that travels within the storage aisle, eliminating routine forklift traffic in the storage area. This helps improve safety, reduce congestion, and minimize product damage.

How does SKARAB™ protect valuable rolls?

Traditional handling methods can dent, flatten, or otherwise damage rolls during transport and storage. SKARAB™ securely supports rolls using probe, cradle, or mandrel handling, helping prevent surface damage while maintaining organized storage locations.

What industries benefit from SKARAB™?

SKARAB™ is commonly used in:

  • Plastic film manufacturing
  • Paper and packaging facilities
  • Printing operations
  • Textile manufacturing
  • Steel processing
  • Converting operations
  • Industrial manufacturing
  • Warehouse and distribution centers

Any facility storing large rolls or drums can benefit from improved organization and higher storage density.

How tall can a SKARAB™ system be?

Standard SKARAB™ systems are available with rack heights ranging from 8 feet to 25 feet, allowing facilities to maximize vertical storage while matching their building's available ceiling height.

Is SKARAB™ customizable?

Yes. Every SKARAB™ installation is engineered around your facility's:

  • Ceiling height
  • Roll dimensions
  • Load capacities
  • Production workflow
  • Storage volume
  • Future expansion requirements

Spacesaver Storage Solutions designs each installation to optimize productivity and space utilization.

  • Greater storage density
