A miniload is an automated storage and retrieval system which stores small parts in bins or totes. The system consists of racks with a central aisle along which a computer controlled stacker crane travels to store and retrieve the bins. These systems are typically used in order picking applications, or in manufacturing support for the storage of tools and small parts.
