Pallet Shuttle

A pallet shuttle, also known as a radio shuttle or automated shuttle, is a semi-automated or fully automated storage and retrieval system used in warehouses and distribution centers. It enhances storage efficiency by using shuttles to move pallets within high-density racking systems.

Features of Pallet Shuttles:

Automated Movement: Automated pallet shuttles travel along rails inside the storage racks to pick up and deposit pallets.

Remote Control: Operated via remote control or integrated warehouse management system (WMS), enabling easy management and operation.

Sensors and Safety Systems: Pallet Shuttle Automation is equipped with sensors to detect the position of pallets and ensure safe and precise handling.

Rechargeable Batteries: Powered by rechargeable batteries, often with quick-change systems for minimal downtime.

Flexibility: Pallet Shuttle Racking System can handle various pallet sizes and weights, making them adaptable to different storage needs.

High-Density Storage: Maximizes storage space by enabling deeper pallet storage in racking systems.

Types of Pallet Shuttles:

Semi-Automated Shuttle Systems: Operators control the shuttles using remote controls. Forklift operators place and retrieve pallets from the front of the rack.
Fully Automated Shuttle Systems: Integrated with warehouse management systems and automated guided vehicles (AGVs) or conveyors for fully automated storage and retrieval processes.

Application Cases for Pallet Shuttles:

High-Density Storage: Ideal for warehouses requiring maximum storage capacity, such as cold storage facilities where space is at a premium.
FIFO and LIFO Systems: Suitable for both First-In-First-Out (FIFO) and Last-In-First-Out (LIFO) inventory management systems, depending on the racking configuration.
Seasonal Storage: Useful for industries with seasonal inventory fluctuations, allowing for efficient storage and retrieval during peak seasons.
E-commerce and Distribution Centers: Enhances the speed and accuracy of order fulfillment by streamlining the storage and retrieval process.
Manufacturing: Supports just-in-time manufacturing processes by ensuring quick and reliable access to raw materials and finished goods.

The dimensions of a pallet shuttle can vary based on the model, and specific application requirements. However, most pallet shuttles are designed to fit standard pallet sizes and rack dimensions used in warehouses. Here are some general guidelines and typical dimensions for pallet shuttles:

Typical Dimensions of Pallet Shuttles:
Length: Typically ranges from 800 mm to 1,500 mm (approximately 31.5 inches to 59 inches).
Width: Usually between 800 mm and 1,200 mm (approximately 31.5 inches to 47 inches) to accommodate standard pallet widths.
Height: Generally falls within the range of 200 mm to 300 mm (approximately 8 inches to 12 inches), though this can vary based on the design and capacity of the shuttle.
