The supercapacitor
system in the Pallet
Shuttle offers high
throughput
in the warehouse,
allowing the shuttle
always to be available
and to work continuously
for 24 hours
The automatic Pallet Shuttle:
how it operates
The Pallet Shuttle is housed in the cradle of
the stacker crane in a position slightly below
the pallet support level; this level consists of
two motorized chains that pick up or leave
pallets in the input or output stations.
Once the stacker crane has placed itself in
front of the assigned location, the shuttle is raised with the pallet on it and inserted into the channel to transport the pallet to
the free position furthest from the aisle and
place it on the rails.
Each shuttle has eight wheels that provide
the correct weight distribution of the pallet
on the profiles and, at the same time, help
the stacker crane to transfer items gently into the channels. The rails have centering elements on the side facing the aisle to facilitate the transfer of the shuttle.
Charging of the Pallet Shuttle’s battery is
done in the very cradle of the stacker crane,
directly and automatically. Supercapacitors
are used for energy storage, and capable of
charging in a matter of seconds.
