Shuttle Racking System
Products Description
The shuttle rack system is a high-density storage solution comprising racks, shuttle carts, and forklifts. This efficient storage method is designed to maximize warehouse space utilization, offering customers a new choice!
Products Advantages
Shuttle racking represents an upgraded/supplementary shelving system to traditional high-density storage solutions (such as drive-in racks, push-back racks, gravity flow racks, and mobile shelving). It integrates features from multiple shelving types, offering not only the high density characteristic of conventional compact storage but also enabling automation control requirements. Compatible with shuttle carts, mother-child carts, four-way carts, forklifts, or stackers, it offers higher storage density than push-back and gravity racks. It flexibly supports either first-in-first-out (FIFO) or first-in-last-out (FILO) functionality based on actual operational needs. Capable of semi-automated or fully automated storage modes, it serves as an efficient alternative for short-term storage and drive-in racking.
Key Features
Flexible operation modes allow for both first-in-first-out (FIFO) and first-in-last-out (FILO) inventory access.
High-density storage maximizes warehouse utilization.
Enhanced safety reduces collisions between racks and forklifts, improving operational safety rates.
High operational efficiency significantly reduces handling wait times.
Relatively low lighting requirements result in lower overall investment compared to other rack types.
Working Principle
Stocking: The goods will be placed at the front end of the rack aisle rail by a forklift, and the mobile shuttle will be operated by a radio remote control to move the pallet carrying the goods on the rail.
Picking: The shuttle moves the pallet from the deep shelf to the front end of the shelf, and then the forklift takes the pallet goods off the shelf.
Mobile shuttle: The shuttle can place the shuttle trolley in different aisles by a forklift, and multiple aisles can share one shuttle. The number of shuttles is determined by comprehensive conditions such as the total amount of goods, shipment batch, aisle depth, and shipment frequency; and such a warehouse solution is composed of a certain number of trolley pallet racks and a system that uses trolleys to store, transport and store pallets. Its space utilization rate can be as high as 80% or more!
Applications of Shuttle Rack
- Cold storage operation: reduce low-temperature operation time, improve work efficiency and operation safety
- More quantity and less variety: food, beverages, chemicals, tobacco and other industries with large batches of single varieties and relatively single items
- Increase storage capacity: limited storage space, warehouses that need to maximize the use of space
- Deadline management: warehouses with strict requirements on item batches and need first-in-first-out operation management
