Retrofitting automation in drystack operation is easy

Retrofitting automation in drystack operation is easy

Industry

At a marina, there’s no better use of space for storing boats than a drystack facility, but they can be maintenance- and personnel-heavy. Replacing forklifts with a semi-automated CAPRIA Ground-Running Stacker Crane can greatly increase productivity. Getting customers’ boats in the water in a fraction of the time it would take a forklift contributes directly to profitability, an increased bottom line and happier customers. Due to the geometry of the crane’s pivot, it can move boats 10′ longer than a forklift can within the same aisle space. Additionally, CAPRIA cranes are electric, so forklift fuel and storage are eliminated. […]
