Flexible Intelligent Automated Shuttle Racking

Automated shuttle rack systems represent an innovative high-density storage solution that integrates the advantages of stacker cranes, shuttle cars, shuttle racking , and software management systems. By utilizing radio-controlled shuttle cars operating on rail tracks, the system enables automated storage, retrieval, and transportation of palletized goods within storage locations.

Flexible Intelligent Automated Shuttle Racking


Overview


Automated Shuttle Racking is an innovative high-density storage solution that integrates the strengths of stacker cranes, shuttle cars, specialized racking, and intelligent software management systems. It offers three versatile technological pathways—Stacker Crane + Shuttle, Mother-Son Shuttle, and Four-Way Shuttle—to meet diverse demands for flexibility, efficiency, and scalability. By utilizing radio-controlled shuttles operating on dedicated rails, the system automates storage, retrieval, and transportation of palletized goods, enabling three-dimensional storage optimization. Designed for businesses seeking adaptable, future-proof warehousing, it excels in scenarios requiring high SKU variety, frequent inventory turnover, or rapid business growth.


Core Advantages


High Flexibility Across Three-Dimensional Space

The Four-Way Shuttle variant— the pinnacle of flexibility—moves freely on horizontal and vertical rails, reaching any storage location in the warehouse. This eliminates aisle restrictions, making the system ideal for complex or irregular layouts.


Extreme Space Utilization & High Throughput

With storage heights up to 45 meters, the system maximizes vertical space, achieving 60-80% higher storage density than traditional racking. Coordinated operation between stackers and shuttles ensures throughput of 200-400 pallets per hour, meeting high-volume inbound/outbound demands.


Superior Equipment Utilization

The Mother-Son Shuttle model operates collaboratively: mother shuttles transport son shuttles across aisles, while son shuttles handle goods within aisles. This two-dimensional coordination allows one set of equipment to serve multiple aisles, boosting utilization by 40% compared to single-aisle systems.


Linear System Scalability

Businesses can easily scale the system by adding more shuttles or lift mechanisms. Unlike rigid traditional racking, Automated Shuttle Racking supports linear efficiency gains. Perfect for rapidly growing enterprises or seasonal demand fluctuations.


Enhanced System Redundancy & Reliability

Multiple shuttles operate in parallel, ensuring system continuity even if a single unit fails. This redundancy minimizes downtime, critical for industries requiring 24/7 operation and high reliability.


Adaptability to Complex Warehousing Scenarios

Whether for warehouses with irregular layouts, split-case picking requirements, or multi-batch inventory, the system adapts seamlessly. It handles diverse cargo types and order profiles, reducing operational bottlenecks.

Flexible Intelligent Automated Shuttle Racking


System Composition and Workflow:

  • High Racking: Storage height can reach more than 45 meters.

  • Stacker Crane: Perform high-speed, high-precision horizontal and vertical movements within the aisles.

  • Shuttle Car: Positioned on the load-bearing platform of the stacker crane, they are transported to the designated rack level.


The stacker crane places the shuttle onto the track of the target level, where it then moves deep into the rack to handle pallet storage and retrieval tasks. Upon completion, it returns to the platform.


Core Advantages

Ultimate Space

Utilization

Enables ultra-high vertical storage with storage density

Exceptional Throughput

Efficiency

The coordinated operation of stacker cranes and shuttle ensures extremely fast performance, making it suitable for scenarios with frequent inbound and outbound operations.

Full Automation

Requires no manual intervention, making it an ideal solution for implementing "lights-out warehouses."


Flexible Intelligent Automated Shuttle Racking

Typical Applications

  • Third-party logistics distribution centers

  • Large finished goods warehouses in industries

  • Manufacturing sectors with extreme demands


Mother-Son Shuttle System — The Master of Flexibility in Two-Dimensional Operations


Flexible Intelligent Automated Shuttle Racking


System Composition and Workflow


High Racking: Storage height can reach more than 45 meters.

Mother Shuttle: Operates on horizontal tracks at the aisle entry points, responsible for transporting son shuttle and pallets between different aisles.

Son Shuttle: After being delivered to a designated aisle by the mother shuttle, they operate on longitudinal tracks within the aisle to handle pallet storage and retrieval tasks.

Flexible Intelligent Automated Shuttle Racking

A single set of mother-son shuttles can serve multiple aisles across the entire racking area, achieving intelligent "vehicle-to-goods" storage and retrieval.


Core Advantages

Exceptional Equipment

Utilization

One set of equipment serves all aisles, maximizing overall utilization and delivering an excellent return on investment.

Outstanding System

Flexibility

Easily adapts to complex operations involving multiple product categories and batch sizes, with highly flexible scheduling.

Balance of High Density

and Efficiency

Maintains high storage density while providing superior system throughput capacity.


Flexible Intelligent Automated Shuttle Racking

Typical Applications

  • Warehouses with high SKU variety and frequent inbound/outbound operations

  • Industries such as tobacco, pharmaceuticals, and electronic components

  • Warehouses requiring extensive split-case picking and full-pallet replenishment


Flexible Intelligent Automated Shuttle Racking


System Composition and Workflow:

  • Four-Way Shuttle: The core equipment capable of free movement on both horizontal and vertical tracks.

  • Multi-tier Shuttle Racking: Each level of the rack is equipped with a track network, forming a dense storage matrix.

  • Lift Mechanism: Responsible for elevating and transferring the four-way shuttle between different shuttle rack levels.


Upon receiving instructions, the shuttle can autonomously travel to the lift mechanism, change levels, reach the target storage location, and complete storage/retrieval tasks.


Core Advantages

Unparalleled Flexibility

Any shuttle in the system can reach any storage location, achieving

optimal task scheduling.

Powerful Scalability

System efficiency can be linearly improved by increasing the number of

shuttles

System Redundancy & Reliability

Multiple shuttles operate in parallel, ensuring continued system operation even if a single unit fails.


Flexible Intelligent Automated Shuttle Racking


Typical Applications


  • Warehouses experiencing rapid business growth requiring frequent future expansion

  • Scenarios with irregular warehouse layouts or complex logistics processes

  • Industries with extremely high demands for system reliability and continuity
