The radio shuttle racking system is a semi-automated, high-density storage system that utilizes an automated device to move along the channel back and forth for transportation, with forklift pickup at the end. It’s a perfect option for
drive in racking system used in cold storage, the food and beverage industry, and other low-level SKUs. It could help you to create maximum use of the storage and simplify the loading and unloading of goods.
The shuttle pallet is remotely controlled by the user and moved from one storage lane to another by a forklift operator. It moves goods independently through the lane manually or automatically, optimizing storage, loading, and unloading stages.
The radio shuttle racking is ideal for storing high-density palletized references and mass storage products. Using a radio shuttle racking considerably reduces the maneuvering times for each operation and optimizes the storage capacity available with compact systems. This racking system uses shuttles that move independently with the rack itself, meaning the forklifts are not needed to reach inside the storage lanes.
The forklift sets the load on the top of the radio shuttle, which then moves along the track to deposit the load in the right position. Several sensors accurately control the radio shuttle. The forklift operator easily gives the orders for all entry and exit movements using a remote control device.
Since there are no forklifts in the lane, and thanks to the structure’s construction system, there is virtually no risk of accidents. Another advantage of the system is that there is less damage to the steel structure since the forklift doesn’t reach the racks.
Advantages of radio shuttle racking:
An efficient load and unload system, which ensures high accuracy.
Less damage to the radio shuttle racking units as the forklift does not enter the racking unit.
Greatly reduced labor cost.
Compatible with different pallet sizes.
Ideal for storage at low temperature(-25°C).
