Automated Pallet Shuttle

The Automated Pallet Shuttle is a compact, fully automated storage system designed to optimize warehouse operations. It utilizes an electric shuttle to automatically load and unload pallets from racking, while stacker cranes or transfer cars assist in moving the shuttle between the entry/exit points and storage channels.

This system combines high-density storage with seamless automation, significantly increasing storage capacity and accelerating pallet handling. It maximizes available space and boosts both the inflow and outflow of goods, ultimately enhancing overall warehouse productivity.

Advantages:

Increased Productivity: Achieves a significant increase in cycles per hour, especially when configured with transfer cars, enhancing overall warehouse efficiency.
Greater Storage Capacity: With racking heights exceeding 40 meters and storage channels up to 45 meters deep, the system maximizes available space for superior storage density.
Fully Automated Operations: Complete automation optimizes movements, ensuring flawless inventory control and eliminating errors.
Fast Travel Speed: The shuttle's high-speed movement (72 m/min when loaded, 108 m/min when unloaded) minimizes storage and retrieval times.
Continuous Operation: Supercapacitors charge automatically while the shuttle is onboard the stacker crane or transfer car, ensuring it is always ready to operate.
High Versatility: The system can store a variety of SKUs in each channel and is capable of handling pallets of different sizes and widths.
Energy Savings in Cold Stores: Compact storage reduces the volume of air to be cooled in cold-storage and freezer warehouses, leading to energy savings.
Safety: The shuttle ensures precise pallet handling, reducing the need for forklifts and enhancing safety within the warehouse.
