Shuttle Flow Pallet Racking

The Shuttle pallet system is a semi-automated, high-density storage solution for the handling of goods inside racking structure channels similar to a drive-in or pallet-flow racking setup. The Shuttle runs on specially designed single profile rails supported by upright frames that are fitted with special support beams, creating channels within the racking structure.  

The remotely controlled Pallet Shuttle is a highly efficient alternative to live storage and drive-in racking. This system eliminates the need for access lanes, reducing the overall storage area needed in a warehouse.

Shuttle pallet racking system improves the throughput of warehouse operations, with Return on Investment (ROI) typically being achieved over two years as opposed to four-to-five years for an alternative storage system type.

The Pallet Shuttle system works either as First in, First out (FIFO) or as Last in, First out (LIFO) for situations such as cold storage, food and beverage production, and meat processing plants.

Key Features:

• Optimised and efficient usage of warehouse space
• 130% more storage capacity compared to an alternative pallet racking system
• Cutomised storage models designed for various pallet configurations
• Suitable for a wide range of operating temperature -30C to +45C
• Handles pallets up to 1500kg capacity
• Storage lanes can be in excess of 50M in length
• Eliminates the risk of damages to the storage lanes & uprights within the channel
• No special forklifts truck is required. Pallets can be serviced by both reach and counterbalance forklifts
• Reduced operating costs provides a cost-effective storage solution
• Reduced cycle time to load or unload pallets as the shuttle cart and forklift can work simultaneously
• Easy relocation & movement of pallet shuttle between channels by the forklift operator
• Designed and manufactured to Australian Standards with high strength tensile steel

Pallet Shuttle Features:

• Powerful, but light weight shuttle at 220kg – 230kg
• Travelling speed of the shuttle cart can reach up to 65M/min when empty, or 50M/min when loaded
