Radio Shuttle Pallet Racking System for Automated Storage and Retrieval Storage
Radio shuttle pallet racking system is a semi-automated storage and retrieval storage solution that allows for high density storage. It can be configured into either LIFO( last in, first out) or FIFO(first in, first out) rotation order depending on the characteristics of the stored cargoes.
Through this semi-automated compact storage system with shuttle trucks, the loading unit is moved by the shuttle within the channel, thus preventing the lift truck from driving into the racking structure.
This system consists of racking frames joined by beams supporting the rails, which serve to store pallets in the depth and for the movement of the shuttle. The shuttle moves autonomously on the rails, putting the load into its corresponding location.
Due to the fact that the lift truck does not need to drive into the racking structure, the handling times are reduced, increasing the storage capacity in depth. The risk of accidents or damage on the racking is dramatically optimized their movements and the operations in the reduced, warehouse workers warehouse are more optimized.
How does the radio shuttle pallet racking system work?
Radio shuttle cart is the key part of the system. It is placed underneath pallets and in charge of carrying pallet loads in rack lanes. Radio shuttle pallet racks are equipped with guide rails and tracks on each lane. Pallets are directly put on the top of guide rails and radio shuttle cart is able to travel through the tracks to transport pallets.
When the radio shuttle cart arrives at the desired pallet, a platform raises to support the pallet and elevate it a few inches. Then the shuttle cart will smoothly carry the pallet to the front of the lane for unloading the pallet. Likewise, the shuttle cart will transport every to the right position for loading.
The radio shuttle cart is battery-powered, which can be managed through remote control. Thus, forklift operators only need to work at the end of the racking system and do not have to drive into the system, greatly reducing labor cost.

Safety Features of Radio Shuttle Cart
Every radio shuttle cart is outfitted with numerous sensors including detection sensor and resistance sensor. Detection sensors are able to detect pallets and obstacles. When sensors detect an obstruction in the path, the shuttle will stop moving and make a sound to alarm users of an issue. Resistance sensors work when two pallets are closing. When storing pallets close together, the car will detect when two pallets are touching and gracefully releases the pallet.
Benefits of Radio Shuttle Pallet Racking System
♦ Increased productivity: The operator can perform other functions while the shuttle car moves the load unit back into the channel, increasing productivity.
♦ High density storage: Make use of 100% of storage locations and up to 90% of the warehouse surface.
♦ Less handling time: forklift operators do not have to drive into the system, reducing the working time compared with a standard drive-in system.
♦ Medium / high product turnover.
♦ One SKU per channel.
♦ Enhanced safety: Fewer incidents as the lift truck does not enter the racking channels.
