Steel Radio Shuttle Racking System High Density Racks Maximize Storage Utilization
Industrial supply chains require compact warehousing methods to eliminate waste and handle larger SKU volumes. Our semi-automated storage system is designed specifically to address deep-lane storage challenges by combining heavy-duty racking with an autonomous vehicle. Engineered as a highly durable
Radio Shuttle Racking system, this layout relies on a remote-controlled shuttle that travels along specialized pallet rail guides running inside the storage lanes. Forklifts are restricted to the forklift picking face, placing pallets at the lane entrance where the shuttle vehicle retrieves and positions them. This mechanical coordination ensures significant aisle space reduction, allowing warehouses to achieve up to 80% density optimization compared to standard configurations.
Operations
Our deep-lane storage structures utilize precision roll-formed Q235B/Q355B structural steel profiles to withstand dynamic stresses from moving vehicles.
- Shuttle Performance: The compact shuttle car vehicle handles a loading capacity of 1,000 kg to 1,500 kg per pallet, operating at a travel speed loaded of 0.8 to 1.0 m/s.
- Flexible Access Methods: The structural design can be easily configured to support both FIFO and LIFO configurations depending on your stock rotation demands.
- Semi-Automated Retrieval: Forklift operators control the shuttle using tablets or hand-held remotes, accelerating standard pallet loading and unloading cycles.
- Safety Features: Equipped with anti-collision sensors, rail-end mechanical stops, and polyurethane wheels to maintain industrial warehouse safety and prevent frame damage.
Implementation
Integrating a compact
Radio Shuttle Racking layout is ideal for sectors requiring fast throughput and high density warehouse storage:
- Food & Beverage Production: Maximize volume usage, which is crucial for high-turnover grocery lines and perishable consumer goods.
- Cold Storage Warehouses: Crucial for low-temperature cold storage warehouses where structural footprints are expensive to cool and horizontal space must be maximized.
- Third-Party Logistics (3PL): Optimizes deep-lane bulk storage of standardized pallet sizes while keeping picking aisles clear.
- Chemical & Raw Material Facilities: Provides stable, dense storage for heavy, industrial drums and raw material pallets.
Quality Assurance
We
manufacture all structural framing in our 30,000-square-meter facility under strict, internationally recognized quality checks.
- Engineering Verification: Our technical department provides a complimentary custom CAD layout detailing exact rail heights, pallet clearances, and column weights.
- Surface Preparation: Every upright and beam goes through shot-blasting before receiving an electrostatic powder coating to ensure reliable wear resistance.
- Verified Certifications: Nanjing Shitong Racking holds valid CE and ISO certifications (including ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, and ISO 45001:2018).
Technical FAQ for B2B Buyers
Does pallet size determine the rack dimensions?
Yes. Pallet dimensions directly affect the guide rail spacing, frame depth, and column load configurations. Every
Radio Shuttle Racking layout must be custom-dimensioned to fit your specific pallet sizes.
What is your packaging and shipping method?
We pack all components with industrial plastic wrap and secure them with steel bandings, exporting under standard FOB or CIF terms from Nanjing and Shanghai ports within a 2 to 3 week lead time.
