LOAD-HANDLING DEVICE

In-house development and production

From telescopes to shuttles

DAMBACH develops and manufactures load handling devices for stacker cranes and material handling systems, Made in Germany. The load handling devices serves as the link between the stacker crane and the load carrier. We offer the optimal solution for pallets, mesh boxes, cartons, trays, or special load carriers such as rolls and sheets. High reliability, short transfer times, and suitability for use in deep-freeze environments down to –30 °C.

Telescoping Single-Depth

for large-capacity carriers

DAMBACH telescopic forks for single-depth storage of pallets, mesh boxes, and special load carriers are synonymous with high operational reliability and long-lasting quality. Flexible mounting plates allow for use in a wide variety of storage and conveyor systems. High positioning accuracy and secure load transfer make these telescopic forks particularly suitable for warehouses with high pallet turnover.

Technical Data

  • Payload up to 1,500 kg
  • Temperature range from –30 °C to +40 °C
  • Speed up to 120 m/min
  • Acceleration up to 5 m/s²

Double-depth telescope

for large-capacity carriers

DAMBACH telescopic forks for double-depth storage of pallets, mesh boxes, and special load carriers offer high flexibility and precise load transfer. Single- or dual-drive versions enable control sequences tailored to specific requirements and minimal approach dimensions. Lightweight constructions made of high-strength aluminum reduce energy consumption and mast vibrations. 
Also suitable for deep-freeze warehouses down to –30 °C.

Technical Data

  • Payload up to 1,500 kg
  • Temperature range from –30 °C to +40 °C
  • Speed up to 120 m/min
  • Acceleration up to 5 m/s²

Carton gripper

for small load carriers

The DAMBACH carton gripper enables the rapid loading and unloading of cartons of various sizes. Up to five gripping fingers and adjustable side plates allow for the secure handling of multiple loads simultaneously. The lightweight design and integrated drives ensure a compact form factor and high flexibility—even in deep-freeze environments.

Technical Data

  • Payload up to 100 kg
  • Temperature range from –30 °C to +40 °C
  • Speed up to 120 m/min
  • Acceleration up to 6 m/s²

Clamp gripper

for small load carriers

The DAMBACH clamp gripper enables the fast and secure handling of cartons and containers in single-deep storage. Adjustable tines adapt flexibly to different load carriers and ensure reliable handling even of heavy small load carriers. The robust design is suitable for demanding production and deep-freeze applications.

Technical Data

  • Payload up to 50 kg
  • Temperature range from –30 °C to +40 °C
  • Speed up to 120 m/min
  • Acceleration up to 6 m/s²

Combined telescopic table

for small load carriers

The DAMBACH Combi Telescopic Table enables highly dynamic loading and unloading of various small-parts containers in single- or multi-deep storage systems. Long extension strokes, precise positioning, and an adaptable upper table ensure maximum flexibility with low energy consumption. The robust design is also suitable for demanding deep-freeze applications.

Technical Data

  • Payload up to 100 kg
  • Temperature range from –30 °C to +40 °C
  • Speed up to 90 m/min
  • Acceleration up to 4 m/s²

Our Load-Handling Devices

The right solution for every load carrier

Single, double, and triple-deep for pallet storage. Ultra-narrow tines with high bending and torsional rigidity for pallets with large dimensional tolerances.

Telescopic forks can be combined with an eccentric lift, chain conveyor, tilt mechanism, and fork adjustment. Configurable for virtually any load carrier.

For loading and unloading closed pallets. With an optional tilting mechanism for ground-level transfer.

For variable carton sizes and multi-deep storage up to four deep. Robust, lightweight design for maximum performance.

With or without belt conveyors for small-parts containers such as cardboard boxes and crates. Proven in automated small-parts warehouses.

For storing panels and lumber. Automatic shutdown of unused suction cells ensures maximum system pressure.

Stacker cranes

DAMBACH storage and retrieval machines are available in aisle-bound or curved-aisle models, designed for pallets, small parts, or heavy loads. They feature a modular design and have been manufactured in Germany for over 50 years.
