PALLET SHUTTLE

ADVANTAGES

Technology applied at top operating speeds

Save space

• Store more pallets deep, since channels can stand more than 131 ft high. The maximum verticality is determined by the handling equipment used.

• The system works with minimal clearances between levels, which permits high-density storage.

• Built-in sensors on the shuttles help position loads intelligently, eliminating empty spaces in the storage lanes. As a result, the effective capacity of the warehouse (which considers goods flowing in and out of the warehouse) reflects its physical capacity.

Save time

• Loading and unloading times are reduced, since the operator does not have to move around inside the lanes.

• The shuttle can travel at speeds of 295 ft/min when empty, or 148 ft/min when loaded.

• Load lifting cycle of just 2 seconds.

• With just a single command, the shuttle can progressively fill or empty a whole lane.

Increased productivity

• More goods flowing in and out of the warehouse.

• Unlike standard drive-in systems, items can be grouped by channels, rather than requiring a full lane. Greater product diversification is the result.

• Optimization of operator movements through the product-to-person system, i.e., the load that moves to the operator.

• While the Pallet Shuttle carries out a command, the operator collects another pallet, achieving continuous workflows.

• Depending on temperature and load conditions, the shuttle can operate up to 10 hours, working at full performance.

• The easy-access lithium batteries have fast connections, makeing them cable-free. So, battery units can be changed quickly without interrupting the operational cycle.

• Elimination of errors.

• The shuttle rack system is easy to use and maintain.

• A single tablet can control up to 18 shuttles.

• Inventory function means the shuttle counts how many pallets are stored in a channel.

Cost savings

These benefits, combined with its efficient energy use, lead to immediate cost savings, making the Pallet Shuttle one of the most cost-effective compact storage systems around.

Versatility

• The shuttle has built-in sensors that enable different types of pallets to be detected and handled.

• The 4048 and 4840 Pallet Shuttle models work with different pallet sizes and widths. For example, the 4048 model can handle 40 inch deep pallets (and around 48 inch front ways). The 4840 model can handle 48 inch deep GMA pallets.

• All shuttles can operate in LIFO or FIFO mode. The operator simply selects the mode they wish to work with from the tablet.

• The shuttle platform is designed to carry pallets that have a 1 inch max. buckling limit.

• Any type of forklift can be used to handle the shuttle.

• Handle up to 3,307 lbs per pallet.
