Radio Shuttle Rack System

Radio Shuttle Pallet Rack System

A Radio Shuttle Pallet Rack System is a semi-automated storage solution operated alongside forklift trucks to efficiently handle inventory featuring limited product variety and high volumes per SKU.

This high-density storage system is strongly recommended for manufacturing operations, particularly within the fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG), food, beverage, and cold chain storage sectors.

System Components

Uprights
The primary structural support components of the racking system, engineered to bear the main vertical load of the racks.
Horizontal & Diagonal Braces
Connect the uprights together, combining with the vertical posts to assemble rigid upright frames.
Safety Pins
Function as essential safety locking devices to prevent accidental beam dislodgement.
Double-Sided Spacers
Link adjacent upright rows together, significantly reinforcing the overall structural stability of the racking system.
Base Feet
Mounted at the base of the uprights to maximize overall racking stability, utilizing adjustable foot anchors secured to the floor at the bottom.

Guide Rails
Provide a dedicated track that enables the shuttle cart to travel smoothly back and forth inside the storage lanes.
Guide Rail Support Beams
Primarily designed to support the guide rails and bear the weight of the stored cargo loads.
Double-Sided Corbels at Rail Ends
Primarily used to support heavy cargo loads at the interior end sections of the racking system.
Single-Sided Corbels at Rail Ends
Primarily used to support cargo loads at the outer end sections of the racking system.
Pallet Guide Plates
Positioned to accurately align and guide palletized cargo at the entry point of the racking lanes.

Radio Shuttle
Moves autonomously along the guide rails to transport palletized cargo to and from designated storage positions.
Anti-Collision Bollards
Protect the racking uprights against accidental impacts and collisions from operating forklift trucks.
Forklift Stops
Prevent forklift trucks from driving too far forward and colliding with the main racking structure.
End Plates
Act as physical mechanical stops at the rail extremities to keep shuttle carts from falling off the tracks.
Guide Rail Joint Connectors
Deliver structural support and reinforcement where individual guide rail sections connect.

How Does the System Operate?

High Density Open Face Pallet Racking System

Acting as the primary storage structure, the High Density Open Face Pallet Racking System creates secure, organized channels for pallets. It facilitates the seamless travel of battery-powered radio shuttles while maximizing warehouse space and maintaining robust structural integrity.

Battery-powered Radio Shuttles

Battery-powered radio shuttles serve as the primary transport mechanism. Positioned at the ends of the lanes by forklifts, they operate via remote control to load, unload, store, and reorganize pallets. Furthermore, the number of shuttles in use can be scaled to match specific throughput requirements.

Forklifts

Forklifts function as supporting equipment by positioning shuttles at the entrances of the lanes and transferring them across different channels as required. This synergy between forklifts and shuttles guarantees smooth warehouse operations. Additionally, this storage solution is engineered to perform in cold storage environments with temperatures reaching as low as -30°C.

High-Density Pallet Racking System Overview

The Hydglobalasrs High-Density Pallet Racking System encompasses four primary configurations: Radio Shuttle Rack, Drive-In Rack, Pallet Flow Rack, and Mobile Racking. Each of these systems delivers the following key advantages:

Radio Shuttle Rack
Space-saving design that optimizes overall warehouse capacity;

Dedicated single SKU per lane, ideal for storing large volumes of identical items;

Enhanced operational productivity, cutting down handling times and accelerating order fulfillment.

The Radio Shuttle Rack stands out as the premier solution for the FMCG and cold chain sectors, where both high-density storage and adaptable FIFO/LIFO inventory control are essential. It achieves an ideal harmony between storage capacity, operational speed, and system adaptability.

Hydglobalasrs Radio Shuttle

The Hydglobalasrs Radio Shuttle System optimizes warehouse capacity with storage depths beginning at 5 meters. It boosts handling productivity by removing the necessity for forklifts to drive directly into the storage aisles. Constructed with a durable mechanical frame and high-grade parts, the system requires very little upkeep. It delivers dependable performance across broad temperature ranges, specifically from -30°C ~ +4°C and +5°C ~ +45°C, while incorporating advanced safety features like forklift locking mechanisms and active anti-collision technology. Moreover, its user-friendly Chinese interface guarantees simple and hassle-free operation.

Hydglobalasrs Shuttle Car Battery

The Hydglobalasrs Shuttle Car utilizes plug-in polymer lithium batteries featuring imported cells and domestic assembly, all backed by CE and FCC certifications.

These power units deliver high capacity, an extended service life, zero memory effect, rapid charging and discharging, and eco-friendly performance. Rigorously tested under a 1500kg full load during uninterrupted operation, they consistently outperform conventional batteries.

The convenient plug-in design enables rapid battery replacement. Furthermore, we provide domestic contract supply paired with responsive after-sales support.

Warehouse Storage Modes

First In, First Out (FIFO)

When pallet racks offer accessibility from both ends, pallets can be loaded into one side and retrieved from the opposite side. This configuration is widely utilized in industries where strict product rotation is critical.

Last In, First Out (LIFO)

In layouts with single-side access, pallets are both loaded and retrieved from the exact same side of the racking system. This approach is commonly applied when goods are stored in large batches and strict inventory rotation is unnecessary.

When A Radio Shuttle System Is A Good Option

Automated radio shuttle systems are typically the ideal solution in the following operational scenarios:

Warehouses operating with limited floor space

Operations storing high volumes of identical SKUs or products

Cold storage facilities where minimizing forklift travel maximizes thermal and operational efficiency

Distribution centers requiring maximum storage density

(Compared with conventional pallet racking, radio shuttle systems generally accommodate deeper storage lanes, significantly increasing overall storage capacity within the exact same building footprint.)
