Products Description
Automated Pallet Shuttle Carrier System is a high-density AS/RS solution for palletized goods with low SKU variety and large quantities per SKU. The system combines deep-lane racking, pallet shuttles, shuttle carriers, vertical lifts, conveyors and WCS/WMS software.
Each piece of equipment performs a defined transfer step, allowing pallets to move automatically from the warehouse entrance to the selected storage lane without forklifts entering the rack.
