PALLET SHUTTLE SYSTEM

The Shuttle system for pallets comprises an electric robot and a multi-depth storage system. The robot independently picks up and places the pallets on

The pallet shuttle system is a self-powered pallet carrying device that runs on rails in storage lanes in specifically designed racking structures, for loading and unloading of pallets.

The pallet shuttle, consists of a programmable mobile carrier that is transportable between racks (by means of a traditional forklift) and a specifically designed racking structure, thus optimizes the time of the employees.

For example, the forklift driver wants to retrieve a number of pallets from a specific lane. In order to do so, he places the radio shuttle (on home position) in the lane and gives the appropriate command via the accompanied remote control.

The pallet shuttle then carries out the assignment by running up and down the lane without any further intervention, giving the driver the opportunity to perform other tasks. this way, the number of operators needed remains limited. In case, during certain periods of time demand, and thus rotation, increases in the warehouse, you can simply introduce more radio shuttles.

Pallet shuttle operational functions:

- Fifo: pallets moved to end position, storage and retrieval from opposite sides.
- Lifo: pallets moved to the home position, storage and retrieval from same side.
- Single Pallet in / out: pallet shuttle moves back to prevent damage.
- Store/retrieve a specific number or all pallets in a lane.
- Move pallets to the picking face (lifo & fifo).
- Change side: pallet shuttle runs under pallets to opposite location in fifo applications (shift home position).
- Pallet count-function: pallet shuttle travels under pallets and counts the number of pallets.
- Low battery < 40%: pallet shuttle will not perform any cycles and sends message to the remote control detection of location of the radio shuttle in rack.
- Recovery mode: manual removal with jack-wheels.

System details:

  • Space optimization and warehouse efficiency;
  • Possibility of adapting to certain working conditions;
  • Possibility of using the self-supporting structure;
  • Reduced system energy consumption;
  • Reducing operator risks and errors due to manual management;
  • Automation of product input/output operations.
