Pallet runner for radio shuttle rack/Shuttle pallet racking system/Shuttle cart

CE Certificated Pallet runner for radio shuttle rack/Shuttle pallet racking

Features include:

1. The Shuttle concept
A shuttle system consists of supporting rack, shuttle rails and a shuttle cart. The shuttle cart runs on the rails and is propelled by an electric motor. It also has a platform on the top that can lift up and down. The lifting action is required to lift a pallet that is placed on the rail and then the electric motor moves the cart with the pallet on top into the rack in order to deposit the pallet in its right position.
 
When the pallet is required, the cart moves in under the pallet, lifts it and brings it to the front of the rack where it can be retrieved by a forklift.
 
All the movements of the shuttle cart are controlled with a hand held remote control. The shuttle cart is placed in the desired lane with a forklift.

2. Advantages

The Shuttle is a fully programmable deep lane storage and retrieval system used to transport pallets within a racking structure for maximum storage and throughput of bulk stored items. The shuttle system allows for more pallets to be stored in a given area when compared to normal static rack .It also minimizes damage to the rack because the forklift does not have to travel into the racking, as is the case with drive-in rack. Accessibility is increased because all the levels can be accessed at any time. In a drive-in rack system the bottom level must be cleared first in order to be able to access the higher levels.

• Goods can be stored in the warehouses with highest density and low cost.
• FIFO or FILO, Optional.
• As each pallet only needs to be positioned at the beginning of the deep lane storage it increases efficiency within operations.
• Better safety and anti-seismic performance than drive in racks.

3. Design
The Shuttle has a battery-operated motor inside that can run for a full 8-hour shift before it needs recharging. It also has censors that can pick up its location within the rack and in relation to the pallet it needs to deposit or retrieve thereby reducing the monitoring by an operator. It has a robust shell with easy access to parts that needs maintenance. All the components used are locally sourced "off the shelf" components to ensure availability in case of a breakdown.

The Shuttle can provide the perfect solution to dense storage situations. One of the conventional methods would be to install drive in racking which is great at space utilization but can sometimes inhibit efficiencies when storing the deep pallets as well as potential damage to uprights.

The Shuttle gives the same space utilization but removes the inefficiencies and risk of damages. All the forklift operator needs to do is place a pallet onto a shuttle position and activate the shuttle and it does the rest of the work, freeing up the operator to complete other tasks.
