Pallet Racking Shuttle System

The Pallet Racking Shuttle system is a versatile, high-density storage solution designed to automate the handling of heavy pallets within a racking framework. This system is ideal for warehouses aiming to maximize storage space, enhance operational efficiency, and reduce manual intervention.

Key Features

  • High-Density Storage: Maximizes floor space by reducing the need for aisles. Pallets are stored deeper within racks, allowing for more compact storage.

  • Automated Shuttle Movement: Shuttles travel along rails to load and retrieve pallets without requiring forklifts in aisles, reducing handling time and optimizing workflow.

  • Mobile Application Control: The shuttle system can be controlled remotely via a mobile app, enabling real-time monitoring and quick adjustments from anywhere in the warehouse. This feature boosts flexibility and convenience for operators.

  • Heavy Load Capacity: The shuttle system can handle loads up to 2500 kg, making it suitable for storing large, heavy items.

  • Compatibility with Multiple Pallet Sizes: Designed to work with various pallet types, including industrial and euro pallets, offering flexibility for different storage needs.

  • FIFO and LIFO Compatible: The system supports First-In, First-Out (FIFO) and First-In, Last-Out (FILO) configurations, allowing it to adapt to specific inventory and turnover requirements.

Benefits

  • Space Optimization: The shuttle system makes optimal use of space, enabling a higher density of stored pallets while keeping operations smooth.

  • Enhanced Safety: By minimizing forklift movement within racks, it reduces the risk of accidents and protects both inventory and personnel.

  • Cost Savings: The automated operation cuts down on labor and energy costs, reducing the need for frequent forklift operations and lowering overall expenses.

  • Versatile Applications: Useful across various industries, from cold storage and distribution centers to manufacturing, the system is adaptable for different types of inventory and warehouse requirements.

Typical Applications

  • Cold Storage: Ideal for maximizing limited space in temperature-controlled environments.

  • Distribution Centers: Increases throughput and facilitates faster product movement.

  • Manufacturing Warehouses: Supports efficient storage and retrieval of raw materials or finished goods.

  • E-commerce Fulfillment: Perfect for high turnover warehouses where quick access to goods is essential.

How It Works

  1. Loading: A forklift places a pallet onto the shuttle at the entry point. The shuttle, controlled via mobile app or remote device, transports it to the designated storage position.

  2. Retrieval: When retrieval is needed, the shuttle brings the pallet to the front of the rack, where it’s easily accessible by forklift.

  3. FIFO/FILO: Pallets can be organized in either FIFO or FILO mode depending on the storage strategy and needs.
