SHUTTLE RACK

Product Description
Product Introduction
The system consists of a racking system, shuttles, forklifts, and a control system. Tracks are installed within the racking aisles, and the shuttles run automatically along these tracks, enabling horizontal movement of goods. Forklifts or lifts are used at the aisle entrances to pick up and put down goods, creating an efficient operational mode characterized by "goods moving, while forklifts remain stationary."
Advantage
Compared to traditional racking systems, shuttle-rack systems enable semi-automated operations, significantly reducing manual labor and lowering labor costs while boosting operational efficiency. With their dense storage layout, these systems minimize forklift aisles, increasing warehouse space utilization by more than 50%. The shuttles support first-in-first-out (FIFO) or first-in-last-out (FILO) storage and retrieval strategies, meeting the diverse storage requirements of different types of goods. The racking system features modular installation, allowing businesses to make initial investments in partial modules and easily expand later on. As business needs evolve, additional shuttles and racking modules can be flexibly added to accommodate growing demands.
Applicable Industries
Widely used in industries with stringent requirements for storage density and operational efficiency, such as food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, tobacco, and cold-chain logistics. It is particularly well-suited for storing large volumes of goods with few varieties and strict shelf-life management. In warehousing scenarios that prioritize efficient turnover—such as e-commerce warehouses and large-scale distribution centers—it delivers outstanding performance.

Working principle
Inventory: A forklift places goods at the very front of the shelf aisle tracks. A radio-controlled shuttle vehicle then carries palletized goods along these tracks.
Pickup: The shuttle cart moves pallets from the deep part of the rack to the front end of the rack, and a forklift then removes the palletized goods from the rack.
Mobile shuttle carts: Forklifts can be used to position the shuttle carts in different aisles, and multiple aisles can share a single shuttle cart.
The number of shuttle vehicles is determined by a combination of factors, including aisle depth, total cargo volume, batch size for shipments, and shipment frequency.
Introduction to Shuttle Car Types
Lightweight bidirectional shuttle carrier
Primarily used for dense storage of standard containers, this system features extremely high speed and precise positioning. Paired with clamp-type forks, it enables the fastest and most efficient pick-and-place operations. It boasts low overall investment costs and flexible planning capabilities. When combined with elevators, it can achieve multi-level conveying, ensuring safe and efficient operations. The system supports both First-In-First-Out (FIFO) and First-In-Last-Out (FILO) inventory management.
Product Features
High scalability and flexibility; multiple vehicles operating on the same level with intelligent scheduling; fast, bidirectional travel with precise positioning; configurable with single-extension or double-extension designs.
