Harness the speed of a mini load crane
The Tornado mini load crane stands for dynamic and speed. It transports light goods like totes, trays, cartons etc. fast and reliable thanks to consistent weight optimization and a modern control technology, always having regard to low energy costs. Typical areas of application are distribution centers, production storage, buffer storage, chilled or frozen storage (-28°C), stainless steel applications in the food & beverage sector (i.e. meat industry). as well as modernizations and expansions.

How Tornado Mini Load AS/RS works
The Tornado Mini Load crane moves up and down a single aisle to both store and retrieve products in a single deep or double deep configuration. Swisslog's Tornado is the world’s fastest mini load crane thanks to consistent weight optimization, modern control technology and an energy-saving design. The Tornado is designed from the ground up to be quick, efficient, and effective in mini-load automated storage and retrieval operations.
