Radio Shuttle Pallets Racks are a semi-automated solution for the storage of high-volume palletized goods and mass storage products. They are often used in warehouses and distribution hubs for food, beverages, or warehouses with special storage conditions. A shuttle is a sort of cart or sled that moves stored items into the pallet racking. The shuttle runs on tracks and allows for a storage system of much higher density so that space can be utilized to its highest potential. Shuttle racking removes the need for human operators to manoeuvre forklifts up and down aisles, reducing risk to warehouse workers, machinery, pallet racks themselves and saving time. This type of system is best for warehouses that are frequently loading and unloading large number of pallets such as cold storage, meat processing, food and beverage distribution, etc. However, it is not useful for distribution centres where there are multiple items stored in each pallet and along each lane.

Radio Shuttle is especially effective for distribution or logistics centers, where you may need quick and efficient supply and distribution. At the same time, this type of Pallets Storage and Retrieval System allows maximum optimization of storage capacity as it reduces the need for corridors between the racks. With this system, you store different amounts of pallets in-depth, according to specific needs or seasonal load. At the same time, each pallet is quickly accessible.
