The Zhuku Mother-Child Shuttle System is an intelligent automated storage solution designed for deep-lane pallet storage and long-material handling applications.
The system consists of a mother shuttle and child shuttle working together. The mother shuttle is responsible for horizontal transportation between warehouse aisles, while the child shuttle separates from the mother shuttle and enters deep storage lanes for pallet storage and retrieval operations.
By combining efficient aisle transportation with flexible deep-position access, the Mother-Child Shuttle System helps warehouses maximize storage density, improve space utilization, and achieve more efficient automated material flow.
The system separates transportation and storage functions through coordinated operation between the mother shuttle and child shuttle.
The mother shuttle carries the child shuttle and moves horizontally between storage aisles.
After reaching the target storage position, the child shuttle separates from the mother shuttle.
The child shuttle enters the rack lane to complete pallet storage or retrieval.
The child shuttle returns to the mother shuttle for the next operation cycle.
The two shuttle vehicles perform different tasks to achieve efficient warehouse operation.
