Four-Way Shuttle With Pallet Lift Automated Storage System

The four-way shuttle radio car moves laterally and cooperates with the pallet lift’s vertical movement to achieve the purpose of storage automation. Through programming, tasks such as storage, retrieval, and transportation can be realized. With high adaptability and flexibility, the system can adjust operating lanes and shuttle numbers as needed for efficient operation, providing versatile project layout options. A conveyor line is positioned in front of the racking system to facilitate the picking and receiving of pallets. An elevator is employed to transport both the radio shuttle and pallets to various levels within the warehouse.

Core Functions

The four-way shuttle system is mainly used for the automatic handling and transportation of pallet goods in the warehouse. It can realize automatic storage and retrieval, automatic lane and layer change, intelligent leveling and automatic climbing. It is not constrained by locations, roads, or slopes and can be utilized on the ground or on the shelf track to reach any point in the warehouse, which is a piece of automated handling equipment with integrated intelligent control, unmanned guiding, and other features.

 

Features

(1)The four-way shuttle system can flexibly adjust the working lane of the shuttle and cooperates with the pallet lift to achieve automatic access to goods, automatic lane changing, intelligent leveling and automatic climbing, directly reaching any location in the warehouse. 

(2)The four-way shuttle system can improve storage space utilization. Not only can it operate in four directions on the arranged shelf track, but it can also use a vertical lift to perform layer-changing operations, further increasing the flexibility and scalability of warehouse racking layout.

(3)The four-way shuttle system greatly reduces the workload of warehouse personnel, provides the possibility for unmanned work in the warehouse. It is especially suitable for cold storage, warehousing toxic goods and other unsafe areas.

 

Applicable scenarios

The four-way shuttle system is suitable for picking scenarios, especially in the field of cold chain logistics. Traditional cold storage not only has low space utilization, but also has poor operation efficiency. But the pallet shuttle can greatly increase the storage density and improve the working environment. And pallet lifts can speed up the incoming and outgoing operations of materials, reduce the waste of manpower and time, and improve the efficiency of the entire warehousing system so that the whole system can quickly transport heavy equipment and bulk cargo and store them in the right location.

Four Way Speedshuttle System

Pallet shuttle system (4 way speedshuttle) is automated high-density storage and retrieval system for the handling of palletized goods. It's an optimal solution for the storage of goods with mass quantity and small SKU, widely used in the industry of Food&beverage, chemical, third party logistics etc. It's an updated version of standard radio shuttle system. The shuttle is able to move in 4 directions on the storage lanes and main lanes. In this way the shuttle can change lanes without operation of forklift, greatly save labor cost and improve warehousing efficiency.

What are the components of the pallet shuttle?

Four way pallet shuttle system usually consists of Racking System, Radio Shuttle, Elevator, Conveyor and WMS/WCS system.

How does pallet shuttles work?

Conveyor line is placed in front of racking system for picking and receiving of pallets. Elevator will transport radio shuttle and pallets from ground to different layers. With instruction of WMS/WCS system, radio shuttle is able to automatically pick and deliver pallets to appointed position inside racks, which could realize automatic storage and retrieval of goods in warehouse.

The pallet what used for the four-way shuttle system, must be passed by speedlog test, As shown below:

Benefit of 4-way pallet shuttle

  Greatly increase storage capacity, which is 3-4 times large than traditional racking system.

  Cost effective and time-saving, reduce land and labor cost

  Fully automatic, low level of risks or damage to the equipment and operator.

  Self-designed WMS/WCS system to well match shuttle system.

  Available to meet various storage capacity demand with adjustment of shuttle quantity.

Applications of pallet shuttle system

The pallet shuttle can carry hundreds of kilograms to one ton of pallet goods. The pallet four-way shuttle is an improvement in the structure of the two-way shuttle. The pallet two-way shuttle can realize "first-in, first-out" when picking up goods. Or the "first in, last out" model, which is mostly used in industries with large quantities and few varieties. However, with the continuous development of the market, the demand for small batches and multiple batches is increasing. At the same time, affected by factors such as land use and labor costs, enterprises have an increasingly urgent need for space utilization and dense storage. In this context, the four-way pallet shuttle that can realize intensive storage, space utilization and flexible scheduling came into being. At present, the pallet 4 way shuttle system has applications in manufacturing, cold chain and other industries. In addition, for old industrial parks and warehouses with few varieties and large quantities of goods, the pallet four-way shuttle system can also be considered to make full use of the height space of the warehouse, release more economic production capacity, and create value for customers. The specific applications are as follows:

1. A company with fewer items and more pallets.

2. Companies with high levels of loading and unloading activities.

3. Cold storage: It is very suitable for warehouses that need low temperature because it makes full use of storage space and reduces operation time. The system is more efficient when a stacker or transfer vehicle is used to install the automation system.

4. Buffer for temporary storage or order picking.

5. Seasonal product warehouse, inflow and outflow depend on the season, goods accumulate over a period of time until a large release at a specific moment, such as ice cream or toys.

6. Warehouses that need to access more items, store more pallets in depth, or increase the number of in and out movements to increase their productivity.
