Palle shuttle

The Pallet Shuttle is a compact semi-automated pallet storage solution using self-powered shuttle carts which operate independently to move the pallets in the rack.

Designed for high-turnover storage, this solution enables automatically loading and retrieving pallets continuously by using a remote controlled system.

Unit loads are either placed on the first available location until the rack is fully loaded, or retrieved from their storage locations and moved to the front ready to be picked by a forklift truck, until the rack is fully unloaded.

AR Shuttle is positioned in the lane required with a fark lift truck. The pallets are stocked one by one by the fark lift truck at the beginning of the lane.

More options

The pallet shuttle lifts up the platform and moves it along the channel until it reaches the first free position, where it puts the pallets. Then, it comes back to the beginning of the lane ready for the next drive cycle.

The Pallet Shuttle system enables warehouse operation through both FIFO and LIFO management, with the latter being more common due to only using one of the ends of the aisle for loading and unloading pallets.

For FIFO operation in the Pallet Shuttle system, forklift access must be enabled at the end of the level, therefore allowing access to the unit load located at the back. This will make it possible to complete the FIFO stock management cycle, and the first pallet to enter the structure will be the first one out.

Before putting the last pallets into the lane, AR Shuttle must be removed and put in a new lane.
