The stow Atlas® pallet shuttle is a semi-automated storage and retrieval system. It's essentially a motorised carriage that moves along rails within a designated pallet rack channel. The pallet shuttle can slide under a pallet and transport it within the rack channel. An electronic control system allows operators to send commands to the pallet shuttle for automated movement and positioning.
The stow Atlas® pallet shuttle eliminates the need for forklift aisles between each rack bay, allowing you to store more pallets within the same racking footprint. By automating the movement of pallets within the rack, retrieval times are reduced compared to manual forklift operation inside each channel. By minimising forklift travel within dense racking areas, pallet shuttles can also help reduce the risk of forklift accidents.
Once the shuttle has received its loading and unloading instructions, it performs its tasks with maximum autonomy, operating without further human intervention.
Overall, the stow Atlas® pallet shuttle offers a valuable solution for warehouses looking to improve storage density, enhance picking efficiency, and optimise space utilisation within their existing pallet racking systems. The increased automation and safety benefits make them a compelling option for facilities seeking to streamline storage and retrieval operations.
The latest generation of the shuttle guarantees an even higher performance level and a top tier reliability. The electro-mechanical lifting device has been designed with maintenance in mind and is ideally suited for cold store applications.
