Multi-layer Shuttle Rack System
Multi-level mini-load shuttle system (Multi layer Speedshuttle) from Maxrac (Member of Speedlog) is the solution for efficient storage and picking of trays, containers and cartons in a fully automated warehouses. It consists of Rack System, Multi-level Shuttle, Elevator, Conveyor Line and other equipment, combined with WCS/WMS to form into a fully automated storage system.
It's suitable for storage of light duty units in cartons and bins with multiple SKU, large volume that needs fast picking and sorting, widely used in e-commerce, FMCG, third-party logistics and other industries.
Multi-layer shuttle is automatic equipment running on the rail which can automatically picking goods. It's mainly composed of the shuttle cart and telescopic fork.
Classified by running direction:
2-way shuttle
4-way shutlle
Classified by access depth:
Single-depth shuttle
Double-depth shuttle

Rack for multi-layer shuttle consists of frame, horizonal bracing, guide rail, rail bracing and adjustable baseplate.
Shuttle is running on the guide rail and brings cargo to designated location on rail bracing. which requires high manufacturing
and installation precision on the racking
Box Lifter
Mini-load lift is used to lift the bins from the lowest level to the corresponding receiving layer required by the system.
The shuttle cart move to the entrance of lane to pick or place the cargo from the lifter
Two Type of Mini-load lift:
a. Single side double position lift
b. 2-side double position lift
Loading: 0-60KG
Max lifting height: 24m
Min conveying height: 600mm
Lifting speed: 3m/s
Lifting acceleration: 2m/S2
PositionaI Accuracy: +/-2mm
Power Supply: motor drive
Control Mode: PLC
Communication Mode: wireless communication
Noise: DB<70
When the system efficiency is not high, it's not necessary to have a shuttle on each layer.
Then it needs a lifter to help shuttle cart to change layers.
Load: 0-300KG
Max lifting height: 24m
Min conveying height: 600mm
Lifting speed: 40m/min
Lifting acceleration: 0.6 m/S2
PositionaI Accuracy: +/-2mm
Conveyor Line
At the front end of the multi-layer shuttle system, it always has a large number of conveyor lines that combine into inbound&outbound and picking area, mainly including roller conveyor and belt conveyor lines.
