Benefits of a Pallet Shuttle System

pallet shuttle systemsOne of the key benefits of the pallet shuttle system is its space-saving design. The pallet shuttle storage system stores pallets in a compact footprint and frees up valuable warehouse floor space. This can be particularly beneficial for businesses looking to expand their operations but may need more support from their existing warehouse space.

Pallet shuttles make the most of vertical space in your warehouse. Pallets are stored vertically within the system, and an automatic height sensor determines the ideal storage location for each tray to maximize storage density. Replacing static pallet racking with a pallet shuttle system can recover up to 85% of your floor space. 

Increased Efficiency

Pallet shuttle systems simplify the pallet storage and retrieval process, saving time and money in addition to floor space. Employees will no longer travel down long aisles of pallet racks searching for the item needed. Instead, the pallet shuttle operates according to the goods-to-person principle, delivering the tray needed directly to the operator at an ergonomic level. 

With a pallet shuttle storage system, storing and retrieving pallets and heavy materials is quicker than ever, resulting in a productivity boost and labor costs reduction.

Safety & Ergonomics

Another benefit of automated pallet shuttle systems is a reduction in workplace injuries. Since heavy parts and pallets are stored and retrieved at an ergonomic height, no bending or manual lifting of heavy materials is required. The system is compatible with forklifts and pallet trucks, and a factory-installed crane is also available for safely moving heavy parts from the trays. Workers no longer have to walk long distances through a warehouse to find the necessary items and reduce forklift handling.

The pallet shuttle system also has safety features to protect operators and stored inventory. For example, a light curtain across the access opening stops the unit if someone or something crosses the barrier while the shuttle is in motion.

Security

Pallet shuttle systems also provide security for stored inventory. The storage system is fully enclosed, protecting stored pallets from dust. Shutter doors prevent access to stored inventory, and software integration can enable more sophisticated access control. The pallet shuttle automation and compact design reduce the amount of manual or forklift handling required for pallet storage and retrieval, the risk of damage to inventory is reduced.

Flexibility

“The team at Southwest Solutions were nothing short of fantastic. First meeting with Craig, I received a customized design, in person, based on my office needs while still maintaining an efficient layout and being cost effective. Craig explained everything clearly, allowing me to understand that as modular mill-work, I would be able to move it if I ever changed offices, but without the added sales pressure to immediately make a decision. Once I had decided, I worked with Chris who assisted in picking out the finishes and scheduling the delivery and installation. The professionalism of Craig and Chris spoke volumes and I would highly recommend anyone looking to transform or fit-out an office to contact Southwest Solutions.”
