Automated Heavy Duty Radio Shuttle Pallet Racking System for
Warehouse Storage
The Radio Shuttle is a fantastic piece of equipment when it comes
to high intensity pallet storage. It is a highly compact and
semi-automated solution for storing palletized goods without the
need to use a forklift truck to load and unload the goods. There is
no extra space between the racks for forklift operation, so the
lanes of the racks are called channels.
One radio shuttle can be used for more than one channel. A channel
can only contain one SKU. if a pallet is stored in one channel, the
next pallet must be stored in another channel and then the radio
shuttle is unloaded using a forklift truck and moved to another
channel. The next pallet is then placed.
The forklift truck places the pallet at the entrance to each
racking aisle and the shuttle transports the pallet to the first
empty position and then back to the front of the aisle. The process
of unloading a pallet is the same as unloading a pallet.

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).
