Shuttle Racking

The Shuttle Rack System / Pallet Runner is a semi-automated storage solution that operates on a deep-storage principle similar to Drive-In Racks but without forklifts. Instead, it uses Shuttle Cars to move and retrieve goods within the racks, enabling fast and safe operations. This system reduces forklift accidents and is ideal for warehouses with a low variety of SKUs but high inventory volume and turnover. It is particularly suited for environments where full-lot picking is common, enhancing efficiency and ease of inventory management.

Features and Benefits of Choosing
Shuttle Rack or Pallet Runner

Space Utilization: Uses an average of 85% of the total storage area efficiently, maximizing storage density.
High Safety: Safer compared to Drive-In Racks due to the absence of forklifts driving into the racks, reducing accident risks.
Efficient Operation: Users do not need to drive forklifts inside the racks, minimizing operational risks and improving safety.
Suitable for Low SKU Variety: Ideal for storing items with a low number of SKUs but high quantities per SKU, and supports both First-In First-Out (FIFO) and Last-In First-Out (LIFO) inventory methods.
Easy Inventory Management: Each rack section can store the same SKU, simplifying inventory management or lot-based order fulfillment.
Versatile Forklift Use: Allows forklifts to perform other tasks while the Shuttle Cart handles goods within the racks, reducing the need for additional staff and forklifts.
Cold Storage Efficiency: Well-suited for cold storage environments, reducing energy loss and operational costs.
Continuous Pallet Movement: Facilitates continuous pallet transfer to the shipping area, reducing waiting time and improving operational efficiency without needing to move pallets manually first.
