Pallet Shuttle Systems
Volume Utilization > 90% High-Density Semi-Automated Pallet Storage
NEDCON Storage Racking Solutions B.V. engineers the semi-automatic pallet shuttle system to deliver high-capacity compact storage for facilities managing 1,000 or more pallet positions. By eliminating internal forklift travel aisles, facilities achieve superior cubic space utilization exceeding 90% while maintaining rapid handling flexibility.
Forklift operators simply position unit loads at the entry point of the designated storage channel. The autonomous radio-frequency shuttle cart lifts the pallet, maneuvers it to the deepest available slot with millimeter precision, and returns to the home position. Forklift cycle times are cut drastically, collision risks inside rack bays are eliminated, and simultaneous intake and dispatch can occur on different vertical tiers.
- Dual Inventory Management: Engineered for both FIFO (First-In, First-Out) and LIFO (Last-In, First-Out) configurations.
- Integrated Safety: Built-in Human Detection System and optical collision-avoidance sensors ensure worker and cargo protection.
- Unlimited Lane Depths: Capable of handling channel depths exceeding 30 pallets with no structural deflection.
Engineering Highlights of the NEDCON Pallet Shuttle
Engineered to withstand rigorous multi-shift logistics environments, cold storage temperatures, and high-frequency pallet cycles with maximum structural longevity.
8-Hour Continuous Duty Battery
Industrial-grade power system operating over an entire 8-hour shift on a single cycle, with rapid swap capabilities and full 4-hour recharge cycles.
2,000 kg (4,400 lbs) Payload
Equipped with a synchronized hydraulic lifting mechanism designed to handle heavy industrial loads, wooden block pallets, and plastic pallets seamlessly.
Multi-Language Remote Control
One intuitive industrial handheld remote unit controls multiple shuttles across multiple lanes, programmable with multi-language user interfaces.
Human Detection System
Equipped with precision fail-safe optical and acoustic sensors that detect obstacles or personnel, immediately halting motion to prevent incidents.
8-Wheel Balanced Kinematics
Pressure is evenly distributed across 8 precision-machined steel wheels, minimizing rolling resistance, rail fatigue, and structural frame wear.
Universal Pallet Adaptability
Configurable for 800 mm to 1200 mm pallet depths, including North American 48"x40" GMA pallets, CHEP, Euro pallets, and customized industrial skids.
