Advantages and Disadvantages of Pallet Shuttle Racking
The pallet shuttle is a high-density compact storage solution that utilizes an automated powered shuttle to carry loads into the rack. The pallet shuttle is remotely controlled by the operator. This allows for maximize use of storage space in addition to reducing product damage and workplace accident rates. The use of the powered shuttle in place of forklifts also reduces maintenance costs as damage to the racks are reduced.
The pallet shuttle moves in designated rails that lift the pallets into desired empty locations. At the end of the task, the pallet shuttle returns to the front of the lane to be ready for the next task. The pallet shuttle can be moved from lane to lane using a forklift.
The pallets shuttle can work as First-In-First-Out (FIFO) or Last-In-First-Out (FIFO) operation. It is ideal for high-turnover storage.
