Radio-Shuttle Racking

A radio 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. Al the movements of the shutle cart are controlled with a hand held remote control. The shuttle cart is placed in the desired lane with a forklift.

Applications

Shuttle rack system is a semi-automated high-density storage solutions designed for efficient storage management. Ideal for:

  • Cold Chain Warehousing: such as food, medicine and other industries that require low-temperature storage.
  • Large-volume single-goods storage: batch goods management, such as beverages, tobacco, chemical raw materials, etc.
  • High-density storage requirements: scenarios where warehouse space is limited and space needs to be maximized.
  • Automation upgrade: warehouses that want to reduce manual operations and improve efficiency.

Core Features

  • Automated Handling: Shuttle vehicles autonomously transport pallets, minimizing human intervention.
  • High-Density Layout: Increases storage capacity by 30%-50% compared to traditional racks.
  • Flexible Access Modes: Supports FIFO (First-In-First-Out) or FILO (First-In-Last-Out) strategies for optimal inventory rotation.
  • Real-Time Inventory Control: Integrates with Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) for live tracking and data-driven decisions.

Key Advantages

  • Maximize space utilization: through dense storage design, more goods can be stored in a limited warehouse space, reducing warehouse rental costs, especially suitable for enterprises with tight land resources and limited storage space.
  • Improve operation efficiency: automated operation reduces dependence on manual labor, and shuttles quickly access goods, shortening operation time.
  • Safety & Durability: Heavy-duty steel construction and collision-resistant designs ensure reliable operation, reducing workplace accidents.
  • Scalability: Modular systems allow easy expansion (e.g., adding racks or shuttles) to meet growing demands.

Specifications

  • Rack Height: 6-30 meters (customizable).
  • Shuttle Capacity: 500-1,500 kg (configurable).
  • Material: High-strength steel for long-term stability.
  • Control Integration: Compatible with WMS/WCS platforms.
  • Power: Battery-operated shuttles with 8-12 hours runtime.
  • Speed: 1-1.5 m/s for rapid transfers.
  • Temperature Range: Standard (ambient) or cold-chain models (-25°C to -30°C).

Applicable Scenarios

  • Food & Beverage: Manages perishables with FIFO/FILO modes to ensure freshness (e.g., canned drinks, packaged foods).
  • Pharmaceuticals: Complies with strict storage standards for drugs/medical devices, enabling precise tracking.
  • E-Commerce Logistics: Handles high-SKU volumes and rapid order fulfillment, boosting space utilization.
  • Auto Parts: Stores diverse components (engine parts, body panels) for streamlined supply chain management.
  • Cold Storage Logistics: Operates reliably in freezers, reducing manual labor in low-temperature environments.
