Retrofitting of Kito-brand AS/RS

Since the merger of KITO's logistics systems business in 2004, Daifuku has been engaged in the after-sales service of the pallet AS/RS "Monopack" and the miniload AS/RS "Elpack". Daifuku has prepared control modules designed specifically for KITO-brand stacker cranes, and is able to respond to retrofitting needs quickly.
