Radio Shuttle Racking System
The Suhong Radio Shuttle Racking System is a semi-automated, high-density storage solution that dramatically increases pallet storage capacity while reducing forklift aisle requirements. Radio-controlled robotic shuttle carriers automatically transport, position, and retrieve pallets within deep storage lanes — achieving up to 80% more storage density than selective pallet racking.
Technical Specifications
- Shuttle Speed (Loaded): 0.8–1.0 m/s
- Shuttle Speed (Empty): 1.2–1.5 m/s
- Pallet Capacity: Up to 1500 kg per position
- Pallet Types: Euro pallets (1200×800mm), industrial pallets (1200×1000mm)
- Lane Depth: Up to 40 pallet positions per lane
- Operating Modes: FIFO (First In, First Out) and FILO (First In, Last Out)
- Power Supply: Lithium battery (8–10 hours runtime, fast charging)
- Control: Radio frequency remote control / WiFi
- Material: Q235B structural steel racking
- Safety: Collision sensors, emergency stop, tilt detection
How It Works
The operator places a pallet at the racking entrance using a forklift. The radio-controlled shuttle carrier — positioned inside the lane — automatically lifts the pallet, transports it to the first available position, and gently sets it down. For retrieval, the shuttle brings the pallet back to the entrance for forklift pickup. The system supports both FIFO and FILO operation modes depending on warehouse requirements.
Key Advantages
- Up to 80% more storage density vs. selective racking
- Fewer forklift aisles needed, maximizing space utilization
- Reduced forklift traffic and lower risk of racking damage
- Semi-automated operation reduces labor costs
- Multiple shuttles can be deployed across lanes as needed
- Lithium batteries provide 8–10 hour runtime with fast charging
- WMS compatible for real-time inventory management
Applications
Ideal for textile warehouses with high-volume, homogeneous inventory — such as finished garment cartons, fabric bolt cases, yarn packages, and bulk material storage where maximizing pallet positions per square meter is critical.
