Features:
Automated Shuttle System: The core feature of shuttle racks is the presence of automated shuttle cars or robots that transport pallets within the rack system.
High-Density Storage: Shuttle racks are designed for high-density storage, making efficient use of available warehouse space by eliminating the need for aisles between racks.
Increased Throughput: They enable fast and efficient loading and unloading of pallets, improving material handling throughput.
Selectivity: While high-density, shuttle racks still offer selectivity as they allow access to individual pallets when needed.
Compatibility: Shuttle systems can work with various pallet sizes and types, increasing versatility.
Remote Control: Operators can control the shuttle cars remotely, enhancing operational efficiency.
Inventory Tracking: Many shuttle rack systems come with integrated inventory tracking and management software.
Advantages:
Space Efficiency: Shuttle racks maximize warehouse space utilization, allowing for increased storage capacity compared to traditional rack systems.
High Throughput: The automated shuttle system significantly improves material handling speed, making it suitable for high-volume operations.
Reduced Labor Costs: Automation reduces the need for manual labor in material handling, leading to cost savings.
Enhanced Safety: Automated shuttles are equipped with safety features to prevent accidents and improve workplace safety.
