Shuttle Pallet Racking System

The Shuttle Pallet is a semi-automated high-density storage system in which a shuttle with an electric motor runs along rails within the storage channels to load and unload pallets.
The process is controlled by an operator, who places the shuttle in the racking using a forklift and controls it via a tablet.
Compared to other high-density solutions, e.g., drive-in racking, the shuttle rack system increases storage capacity, goods-in/goods-out flows and the number of products to be stored.
The system is also available in a fully automated version, which features either stacker cranes or transfer cars.

Time Savings and Productivity Gains: The shuttle efficiently executes orders, allowing forklifts to operate outside the racking, reducing loading/unloading times and increasing the number of cycles per hour.
Space Efficiency: Storage channels can extend over 60 meters in depth, with minimal clearances between levels, significantly increasing storage capacity.
Cost Savings: Optimized use of space reduces the system’s footprint, lowering land costs. In cold storage warehouses, it also reduces the area needing cooling, cutting energy expenses.
Multiple SKUs: SKUs can be grouped by channels, not full lanes, allowing greater product diversity within the storage system.
LIFO and FIFO Compatibility: The system supports both LIFO (Last In, First Out) and FIFO (First In, First Out) inventory management strategies.
User-Friendly Operation: All functions are controlled through an intuitive tablet interface, simplifying system use.
Safety: Forklifts do not enter the racking, preventing structural damage and minimizing the risk of accidents.

Shuttle Pallet System Applications

Facilities with many pallets per SKU

The Pallet Shuttle is ideal when managing a large number of pallets per SKU. Each channel can hold a different SKU.

Warehouses with massive inbound/outbound flows

The system notably speeds up pallet storage and retrieval for businesses with a fast-paced turnover of very homogeneous goods.

Cold stores

Thanks to space optimisation, the volume to be cooled is reduced, resulting in significant savings in energy costs.
