Forklift Operated Warehouse Shuttle Racking System Semi Automated Storage Solution

The Forklift Operated Shuttle Racking System from Shitong is a semi-automated storage solution where forklifts and shuttles work in close coordination. Operators handle only the channel entry, while the shuttle manages pallet movement inside the racking.

How It Works
Forklifts load pallets at the entrance; the shuttle carries them to the designated storage location. With remote or tablet operation, drivers can start the process with just a few clicks.

Technical Highlights

• Shuttle load capacity: 1,000–1,500 kg.

• Quick-swap lithium batteries for non-stop operation.

• Compatible with most standard warehouse forklifts.

• Multiple safety systems: obstacle detection, emergency braking.

Customer Benefits

• Improves throughput without changing existing forklift fleets.

• Short learning curve, easy training for operators.

• Reduces forklift travel, lowering fuel/energy consumption.

• Cost-effective upgrade for traditional drive-in racking systems.

Applications
Beverage and bottled water warehouses, daily goods distribution centers, regional logistics hubs with high turnover.
