Stacking device e.g. reach stacker, for gripping e.g. container, has sensors for recording area of unknown layout of loads, preferably containers, and computer-aided image identification system for processing sensor data

摘要

The device (12) has a vehicle undercarriage (13), where a hinged telescopic arm has a load lifting tool that is mounted on the undercarriage. Sensors are provided on the stacking device for recording the area of unknown layout of loads, preferably containers. A computer-aided image identification system is provided for processing sensor data. The device serves as sensors cameras, laser scanners and/or radar scanners. An independent claim is also included for a method for gripping and stacking loads e.g. containers using a stacking device.
