Mecalux Pallet Shuttle
Pallet Shuttle is a high-density automated storage system
For quick, repetitive in and out pallet transfers.
By definition, a shuttle is a fast means of transport that travels between two fixed points at frequent intervals. Adapted rack structures mean an electric run shuttle can move inside storage lanes along a track, following the commands given by the operator using a WiFi control tablet.
The forklift simply leaves the load on the tracks, and the Pallet Shuttle picks it up and moves it autonomously. Pallets are kept as compact as possible, while each pallet is slotted in its location. Since forklifts do not need to drive into the lanes, handling times are lower, storage capacity is higher and deeper. Additionally, damage to the metal shelves is negligible, operator movements are streamlined and in-warehouse operations modernized.
