What are stacker cranes?   

Warehouse stacker cranes are machines used in logistics in the broadest sense. They are handling equipment that allows pallets to be manipulated on racks. The stacker cranes are machines that increase the efficiency of the work carried out in refrigerated warehouses. Thanks to this machine, the operator does not have to stay for long periods of time in cold areas.
