Semi-automated Pallet Shuttle:
operations
1. Operators use a reach truck to place the
motorized shuttle into the channel where
the pallet will be stored.
2. Then, the pallet is placed at the entry level,
resting on the rails.
3. The Pallet Shuttle raises the pallet with the
goods slightly so it can move the pallet along
the channel.
4. Once raised, the shuttle shifts the load to
the first free location in depth.
5. When the pallet is unloaded, the shuttle
returns to the start position to repeat the
movement with the next pallet.
This sequence is repeated as many times as
necessary to fill the corresponding channel.
Regarding pallet extractions, the shuttle
performs the same operation but in reverse.
