The Zhuku Shuttle Racking System is a high-density pallet storage solution designed for use with pallet shuttle systems. By replacing traditional forklift travel inside storage aisles with shuttle-assisted pallet handling, the system significantly increases storage capacity while improving warehouse safety and operational efficiency.
Engineered for first-in-first-out (FIFO) and first-in-last-out (FILO/LIFO) inventory strategies, shuttle racking is widely used in food & beverage, cold chain logistics, manufacturing, chemical, and third-party logistics warehouses.
Zhuku provides complete shuttle racking solutions, including rack design, structural engineering, shuttle integration, warehouse software, installation, and commissioning.
Maximize Storage DensityShuttle racking eliminates multiple operating aisles, allowing pallets to be stored deep within each lane. Benefits
|
Faster Pallet HandlingThe pallet shuttle automatically transports pallets inside storage lanes, minimizing forklift travel and improving warehouse efficiency. Advantages include:
|
Flexible FIFO & FILO OperationThe system supports multiple inventory management methods depending on warehouse layout. Supported modes:
Suitable for different inventory turnover requirements. |
Stable Heavy-Duty StructureZhuku shuttle racks are manufactured using high-strength structural steel and engineered for continuous industrial operation. Features include:
|
Automation ReadyThe shuttle racking system can operate independently or be integrated into automated warehouse solutions. Compatible with: |
High-Density Lane Storage: Deep-lane pallet storage maximizes warehouse utilization.
Heavy-Duty Construction: Designed for continuous pallet handling and industrial applications.
Customized Design: Rack dimensions, lane depth, pallet sizes, and load capacities are customized according to project requirements.
Low Maintenance: Durable steel construction with corrosion-resistant finishes minimizes maintenance costs.
Expandable Configuration: Modular rack design allows future warehouse expansion.
A shuttle racking system uses automated pallet shuttle vehicles to move pallets inside deep storage lanes, reducing forklift operations and maximizing warehouse space utilization.
1. Pallet Loading
Forklifts / Vertical lifts place pallets at the rack entry point, and the shuttle receives the storage command.
2. Automatic Storage
The shuttle moves along the rack rails and transports pallets to the assigned storage position.
3. Intelligent Management
Integrated with WMS/WCS, the system manages inventory, storage locations, and operation tasks in real time.
4. Pallet Retrieval
When an outbound order is received, the shuttle retrieves the required pallet and moves it to the access point.
Process Flow:
Inbound Pallet → Shuttle Transport → High-Density Storage → Pallet Retrieval → Outbound (The process is controlled by WMS/WCS Control Software)
