A pallet shuttle system is a semi-automated, high-density storage system in which a powered shuttle moves pallets within the racking instead of a forklift entering the lane. A forklift places pallets at the lane entrance and the shuttle carries them deep into the racking to store or retrieve them, giving denser storage and faster throughput than conventional drive-in racking.
One such technology that is capable of fully automating repetitive and labour-intensive activities and delivers exceptional operational and environmental benefits is Pallet Shuttles. These are a type of Automated Storage and Retrieval System (ASRS) designed to fully automate the process of storing and retrieving palletised goods within a warehouse or distribution centre environment.
MotionTech has a long and enviable reputation for integrating pallet shuttle solutions and remains at the forefront of innovation to offer industry-leading shuttle technology designed to be efficient, cost-effective, and agile.
Pallet shuttle systems uses shuttle vehicles that travel along rails or tracks fitted within a racking structure, transporting palletised goods between storage locations and the required retrieval points. They can easily be combined with a wide variety of other automation equipment such as conveyor systems, robot palletisers and pick-to-light systems, to offer a full turnkey automation solution.
Shuttle systems are particularly well-suited for handling palletised goods in high-density storage environments across ambient, chilled and cold storage, and offer significant operational and environmental benefits, including:
Working with our partners, MotionTech is proud to offer a multi-directional pallet shuttle system that both organises and optimises your warehouse. The shuttle system provides a flexible and agile solution for pallet storage and retrieval tasks, significantly enhancing warehouse operations and eliminating the reliance on manual labour.
The pallet shuttle system is multi-directional, capable of accessing different levels as well as multiple aisles and is fully scalable to adapt to operations as they up or down-scale. The intelligent software enables the pallet shuttle system to integrate seamlessly with ERP systems, as well as additional automated warehouse operations such as production or processing lines.
Reduce the number of staff required to carry out storage and retrieval tasks
Create high-density pallet storage to increase both storage capacity and productivity.
Utilise real-time inventory management software to track the movement of goods accurately and optimise inventory replenishment processes.
