Pallet Racking Shuttle System

System Benefits

• Maximises both the floor space and height available
• Automatic control of inventory by using sensors to count the number of pallets stored
• Optimisation of the space available
• The system can work as both FIFO or LIFO depending on the configuration
• A highly safe operation which has a low maintenance cost
• Minimises the level of contact a forklift truck driver would usually have as the driver only has to load the pallet onto the shuttle
• Flexible storage for different types of pallets
• This Semi-automated solution can also offer further time efficiency gains
• Standard materials handling equipment is used to handle pallets outside of the rack and is also used to transfer the shuttle from one lane to another

Common Uses

Shuttle Systems are very versatile and can cater for a wide range of operations. However, they are particularly suitable for warehouses that possess the following:

• Operations with high loading and unloading activity
• A reduced number of products but with a high number of pallets to store
• A need to alter the operation seasonally to be fast and flexible
