Product Overview
The Auto Gantry Stacker, also known as a Small Gantry Stacker, is installed at the end of a corrugated board production line to automatically count, stack, and discharge finished corrugated sheets.
It is suitable for 3-ply, 5-ply, and 7-ply corrugated board production lines, helping manufacturers improve stacking efficiency while reducing manual handling.
The machine automatically counts sheets according to preset quantities and forms neat stacks for the next production process. When connected to a production management system, it can also support automatic order changes, helping improve production continuity.
With its compact gantry structure, AC servo positioning system, and automatic stacking functions, the Auto Gantry Stacker provides stable and efficient board collection for medium- and high-speed corrugated board production lines.
Key Features
- Small gantry structure with automatic counting and automatic order change.
- Can be synchronized with the production management system to support centralized order management and automatic order changes without reducing production speed.
- When connected to the production management system, order change waste can be reduced to less than 500 mm.
- Crawler stacking platform with AC servo lifting control for stable and neat stacking.
- When the preset stacking quantity is reached, the frequency-controlled conveying system automatically and smoothly transfers the finished stack.
- The rear stopper is positioned by AC servo control for fast and accurate adjustment during order changes.
- The rear stopper can shift automatically, making it suitable for stacking small production orders.
- Touchscreen display for convenient operation and production monitoring.
- Fully automatic operation helps improve production efficiency, reduce manual handling, and lower operator workload.
- Compact structure with reliable performance, suitable for continuous corrugated board production.

Applications
The Auto Gantry Stacker is widely used at the end of corrugated board production lines to improve board handling efficiency and reduce manual labor.
Typical applications include:
- Corrugated board manufacturing plants
- Corrugated box factories
- Sheet plants
- Packaging material manufacturers
It is suitable for:
- Automatic board counting
- Automatic sheet stacking
- Order-based stacking
- Finished board collection before the next converting process
Working Process
The working process generally includes the following steps:
1. Board conveying
Finished corrugated sheets are transferred from the production line to the stacking section.
2. Automatic counting
The machine counts sheets according to the preset quantity for each order.
3. Automatic stacking
The crawler stacking platform collects and stacks the sheets neatly using AC servo lifting control.
4. Stack discharge
When the preset quantity is reached, the finished stack is automatically conveyed out for the next production process.
5. Order change
When connected to the production management system, the machine can automatically adjust stacking parameters for the next production order.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an Auto Gantry Stacker?
An Auto Gantry Stacker is an end-of-line machine used to automatically count, stack, and discharge finished corrugated sheets after they are cut to length.
Which production lines is this machine suitable for?
The machine is suitable for 3-ply, 5-ply, and 7-ply corrugated board production lines.
Can the Auto Gantry Stacker connect with a production management system?
Yes. When connected to a production management system, the machine can support centralized order management and automatic order changes.
What is the maximum stacking height?
The maximum stacking height is 300 mm.
What board widths are available?
The machine is available for effective working widths from 1400 mm to 2500 mm.
Does the machine reduce manual labor?
Yes. The machine automatically counts, stacks, and discharges finished corrugated sheets, reducing manual handling during production.
What Are the Different Types of Corrugated Board Stackers?
The main types of corrugated board stackers include simple stackers, basket type stackers, gantry stackers, and right-angle stackers. Different structures are designed for different production requirements, such as line speed, board size, stacking height, and factory layout. High-speed corrugated board lines can be equipped with large gantry stackers or heavy-duty basket type stackers, while simple stackers are suitable for lower-speed production requirements.
