Easily Reconfigured Radio Shuttle Racking System for Intensive Storage With Lower Accident Risk

Main Features of Radio Shuttle Pallet Racking System

• More diverse SKUs: One SKU can be stored per channel as compared to One SKU per lane as is the case with drive-in pallet racking system.

• Increased Pallet Locations: The system offers greater storage depth behind stacked trays with minimal gaps. Space between layers is also minimized due to the elimination of manual handling operations.

• Lower accident risk: Forklifts are not allowed to enter the structure, thus reducing the chances of accidents to a large extent.

• Negligible maintenance costs: Minimised accidents lead to almost negligible maintenance costs.

• Higher performance: Reduced operating time and increased warehouse efficiency.

• Highly cost effective: Fuel and energy costs are lowered.

The shuttle is specifically designed to withstand loads of up to 1,500 kg, with fast and controlled movements, and to ensure that a minimum of space is left between the pallets. This makes this system the most compact and space efficient of any other system. Multiple shuttles can be controlled by a single remote control, which fills or empties the entire aisle on receipt of a single command.

The remote control (a tablet operating on the network) requires authentication by authorized personnel, thus reducing the risk of unauthorized access to the pallets. Shuttles also have appropriate security measures in place, such as safety stops, rail end stops and pallet centering.

No aisles, maximum space consumption, no forklifts, and no damage to equipment and racks. No need for forklifts, pallets move back and forth automatically, reducing operating costs, increasing productivity, faster loading and unloading, and hassle-free storage cycles. The radio shuttle (also known as pallet shuttle) system is based on the FIFO and LIFO inventory management principles.

If one end of the rack is open, pallet storage and picking is done from the same end, meaning that the first pallet in will be the last one out (LIFO). If the two ends of the racking are open, storage and picking will be done at opposite ends without any interference. This means that the first pallet in will be the first one out (FIFO).
