Pallet shuttle, often referred to as a radio shuttle. It is an electric automated material handling system designed for high-density storage and retrieval of pallets within deep-lane racking systems. It operates within a lane, moving forward and backward under electric power to store and retrieve pallets on rails, thereby minimizing the need for forklift access within the racking. Its automation, electric efficiency, space optimization, and high-volume capabilities are primary considerations for modern warehouses.
1. Maximized Storage Density: Provide higher storage density by eliminating the need for forklift aisles within racking lanes.
2.Increased Handling Speed: Its electric automation accelerates storage and retrieval operations, especially in high-volume scenarios, far surpassing manual methods.
3. Reduced Labor & Equipment Costs: Lowers reliance on forklifts and manual labor inside the racking, leading to reduced operational costs, fewer personnel, and less equipment wear.
4.Enhanced Safety: Removes forklifts and human operators from deep racking lanes, so that reducing the risk of product damage, and accidents.
5. Flexible Operation (FIFO/LIFO): Can be configured for both First-In, First-Out (FIFO) or Last-In, First-Out (LIFO) inventory management, depending on the racking setup.
1. High-Volume & High-Density Warehouses: Perfect for facilities dealing with large quantities of products that require dense storage solutions and rapid movement.
2. Cold Storage & Freezers: Its electric and automated operation reduces human and forklift exposure to low temperatures, saving energy and improving safety
3. Space Optimization: When maximizing every cubic meter of warehouse space is a critical business objective, as it requires minimal operating aisles.
4. Reducing Forklift Traffic & Damage: For facilities aiming to minimize internal forklift travel, potential rack damage, and operational risks by automating pallet movement within racking.
