ABSTRACT:
A warehouse system and method for stacking, storing and retrieving material includes a cab stacker, preferably a twin-cab stacker, that can be mounted on the mast of a stacker crane or sideloader. The twin cab functions as a mobile work-station which can retrieve materials from a storage area, cut them to order, bundle them, and place them directly on a conveyor system for packing and ultimate shipment. The twin cab includes a plurality of forks mounted on a carriage which is connected to a telescoping mast on the cab. The forks can be employed as a lift or support for materials removed from cantilever or pigeon-hole racks. Automatic stops align the cab with a selected rack. The cab also may support a ledge-fence on which elongated materials can be placed for cutting by a swing-arm mounted, cutting wheel which is controlled by an automatic feed mechanism. Tape dispensers in the cab provide tape for bundling the cut materials. Sheet and elongated materials are transferred directly from the forks to conveyors. A vacuum transfer machine is employed in packing the sheet materials.
