Radio Shuttle Rekken is a new concept on handling and compact storage of palletized loads. The system has a better utilization and flexibility compared to conventional warehousing. It also gives a higher handling capacity, more efficient in operation and a safer working environment for operators. Furthermore, it shorten the travelling route and frequency of usage of forklifts as a result the system is specially suitable for chilled warehouses and FMCG distribution centers.
Overzicht: What is a Radio Shuttle Racking System?
De Radio Shuttle Racking System is an advanced, semi-automated high-density storage solution designed to maximize warehouse cubic capacity and operational throughput. Built with heavy-duty steel lanes and integrated guide rails, this system replaces traditional wide-aisle forklift navigation with an intelligent, radio-controlled carrier known as a Radio Shuttle Car.
How the Radio Shuttle System Works
Autonomous Pallet Transport: Palletized goods are placed at the entry face of the rack system, where the remote-controlled radio shuttle car takes over to transport, store, and precisely position pallets deep into the storage lanes.
Maximized Lane Utilization: By eliminating the wasted airspace and wide operating corridors required by conventional selective racking, the system achieves full volumetric utilization of each storage lane.
Forklift-Free Lane Access: Forklift trucks only load and unload goods at the designated picking faces without needing to drive inside the racking structure.
Key Operational Benefits & Advantages
Superior Warehouse Safety: Keeping heavy forklifts out of the storage lanes virtually eliminates the risk of structural collisions, protecting both your racking investment and personnel to provide a much safer working environment.
High Automation Efficiency: Approximately 70% of the material handling process is automatically executed by the shuttle cars, significantly reducing forklift travel distance and freeing operators for other core warehouse tasks.
Flexible Inventory Control: The system seamlessly supports both FIFO (First-In, First-Out) En LIFO (Last-In, Last-Out) inventory management strategies, making it ideal for high-volume distribution centers, cold chains, and manufacturing facilities.

Configuration of Radio Shuttle Racking System
Radio Shuttle Racking System includes 3 required combined parts for working as Radio Shuttle Racks, Radio Shuttle Car (Palletloper) and Forklift:
Storage Working Types
Radio Shuttle racking system is a special made racking system for radio shuttle which based on the structure of drive in rack. Compared with drive in racking system, it is more stable and secure. The depth of the racking can be more than 30m to 60m which drive in racking system can be only around 20m. Depending on the warehouse structure, the shuttle racking system can be also support for FILO and FIFO, especially Seleted Picking with Tunnel, or Mixed Storage Design working.
Radio Shuttle Car, also called as Pallet Runner, Pallet mole, Pallet-shuttle, could provide clients with maximum flexibility in its set up. From traditional FIFO or LIFO, to high density case picking or an 80/20 configuration, Pallet Runner can accommodate multiple system designs.
First In First Out (FIFO)
Last In First Out (LIFO)
Case Picking
80/20 Mixed
Advantages of the semiautomatic Radio Shuttle Racking system:
The main advantages of SSTC Radio Shuttle Racking system are its racking compaction capacity and the increase in productivity and safety in the warehouse.
- The Pallet Shuttle system enables you to maximize floor space and height available by minimizing the operating aisles needed for trucks.
- SSTC Radio Shuttle system allows for automatic control of inventory by using sensors to count the number of pallets stored.
- Remote control and barcodes help better control the stock, drastically decreasing error margins.
- Highly safe operation at low maintenance cost
- RF controlled
- Flexible storage for different types of pallets
- Since forklift operators do not have to enter the aisles, maximum safety is guaranteed when handling pallets, avoiding collisions in the rack structure. This reduces maintenance costs as well as the number of issues from handling loads.
- With the pallet shuttle system, stored pallets can be loaded and unloaded as FIFO or LIFO, even in freezing chambers up to -30ºC.
- Optimization of space FIFO / LIFO
- Enables a continuous handling flow, speeding up operations in the warehouse.
- Constant handling flow
- Powered by a rechargeable lithium battery
PALLETS FOR RADIO SHUTTLE RACKING
As some strict requirement operation in semi-automatic storage solution of Radio Shuttle Rack, SSTC made a document of available pallet types.
