Shuttle storage system ISO9001/ISO14001/UN-SPR09069

Feature Bulk storage (predominantly palletised food and drink) has conventionally been stored within Drive-In, Push Back or beam racking systems. These systems though efficient are limited by the length of the storage lane that can be practically achieved. Pallets are loaded onto a shuttle at the front of the lane, which transports the pallet down to the other end. The in-built sensors on the shuttle detect the position of previous pallets and places the new load at a predetermined distance from them, before returning to the start face. The shuttle movements are sent via the radio remote controller allowing the forklift truck and driver to be released for other tasks while the shuttle operates. The shuttle is easily moved between lanes by a standard fork lift truck.
