Automated Warehouses for cartons
Automated carton warehouses use stacker cranes to handle light loads, delivering goods directly to the operator—no walking or forklift travel required.
Our Automated warehouses for cartons
Mini-load Automated System
The automated Miniload AS/RS System is the optimal solution for the storage of small and light unit loads with a high turnover of SKUs.See moreKey Features of Carton AS/RS Warehouses
Our automated carton systems are engineered for top efficiency, reliability, and adaptability—maximising space and delivering high performance in small-load logistics. Key features include:
Productivity and efficiency
Fully automating receipt and dispatch compresses process latency, standardises tasks, and lowers error rates, resulting in higher throughput, improved accuracy, and better warehouse productiv
Use of stacker cranes
Automated carton warehouses use stacker cranes designed for rapid, precise handling of light, low-volume loads—perfect for high-density, high-speed operations.
Multi-level structures
High-bay configurations can run two or more stacker cranes on separate levels, multiplying storage capacity and enabling efficient management of large SKU counts.
Improved stock management
A WMS delivers real-time inventory visibility, fewer errors, stronger traceability, and smarter decisions.
High storage density
Maximises cubic volume—height and depth—ideal when floor space is tight or capacity demands are high.
Faster order preparation
By delivering cartons to the pick face automatically, operator travel is reduced, access is faster, and picking efficiency rises.
Cold-store ready
Fully compatible with temperature-controlled environments—delivers reliable, efficient performance in chilled and deep-freeze conditions.
Cost savings
Automation lowers direct labor needs, reduces errors, and optimizes energy and space—driving down operating costs over the mid to long term.

AdvanceD Technologies in Automated Carton Warehouses
Our automated carton warehouses are built on advanced engineering and continuous innovation. In our in-house Technology Center, we design robust, efficient solutions using simulation tools and structural calculations tailored to automated environments. Partnerships with the University of the Basque Country (AR Racking Classroom) and Mondragon Unibertsitatea (AR Lab) channel academic knowledge into greater performance, reliability, and adaptability on every project.
100% Automated Manufacturing Plant
We design and manufacture steel structures for automated carton warehouses, tailored to multiple sectors and light-load formats. Our racking integrates seamlessly with automation to maximise space, streamline operations, and ensure top-level safety in high-throughput environments.
Produced in a 35,000 m² facility with state-of-the-art technology and robotics, our systems deliver high precision, consistent quality, and competitive lead times. With a clear focus on structural automation and rigorous quality control, AR Racking is the partner of choice for carton automation projects that demand a robust, reliable, and safe foundation.
