Shuttle storage system

Shuttle systems offer outstanding scalability in power and excellent extension options for storing and retrieving containers, boxes, and trays. They guarantee the highest handling capacity with short access times. In a shuttle system, fully automated vehicles take on transported the stored goods. Unlike stacker cranes, multiple vehicles per aisle can be used on top of each other simultaneously. Installing multiple vehicles per channel level also provides improved system performance. Shuttle systems (pallets/mini-loads) characteristics: The shuttle vehicles are either autonomous and drive with an integrated battery, or connected to a handling unit via an electrical link. System advantages: High throughput Outstanding scalability and layout flexibility High energy efficiency Optimal warehouse compression Extremely low space requirement, even suitable for low heights Optimal use of room volume High inventory security Easy operation and easy maintenance Alternative terms: Satellite vehicle Shuttle vehicle
