Shuttle

This pallet racking system offers a specialized compact storage solution. The pallets are positioned with the forklift truck at the beginning of the lane on a remotely controlled shuttle which, once loaded, moves along the rails to the correct storage position. In shuttle blocks the forklift truck does not enter the lanes thus remarkably increasing the safety of the operator. 

• With the shuttle system, the movement of the pallets is completely automatic. This reduces the working times compared to a standard compact system (drive-in).  
• The collection and deposit functions are also electronically managed. 
• This allows fast and safe handling of the pallets without the risk of collision of the forklift truck against the structure inside the lanes. 
• The automatic functioning of the shuttle inside the lane frees the forklift truck operator, who can carry out other services during the loading/unloading manoeuvres. 
• This system enables the storage of each reference in specific lanes. 
• Depending on the requirements of the site, the rack can be configured to work with FIFO or LIFO flows. 
• It optimizes the use of the available storage volume, as only one access aisle is required for the load/unload of LIFO blocks and two in the case of FIFO blocks.
