Product Introduction
The six-directional shuttle system is an innovative combination of the four-directional shuttle car and the vertical two-directional vehicle. It can achieve six-directional movement (horizontal-vertical, front-back, left-right), completing goods storage, retrieval, and handling tasks on shelf tracks.
This pallet shuttle system allows flexible planning of storage locations based on site layout, deep storage by SKU, and buffer zones tailored to throughput needs. It can adapt to diversified application scenarios such as dense storage and integrated storage-picking, and is suitable for multiple industries including food, manufacturing, cold chain, retail, footwear & apparel, and supermarkets.
Core Features
6-Directional Movement: Combines horizontal (front-back/left-right) and vertical (up-down) mobility to access every storage location across multiple shelf levels—no need for separate lifting equipment (e.g., forklifts) to connect levels.
Flexible Deployment & Layout Adaptability: Customize storage locations based on your warehouse's unique layout (e.g., narrow aisles, tall racks); Design deep storage zones by SKU and dedicated buffer zones to match your throughput demands (e.g., peak-season inventory surges).
Seamless System Integration: Works with most mainstream WMS/ERP systems (e.g., SAP, Oracle, Manhattan Associates) to sync real-time inventory data, reduce manual data entry, and streamline order fulfillment.
High Density & Throughput: Maximizes warehouse space utilization by reducing aisle width and enabling "deep lane" storage. Boosts throughput by 30-50% compared to traditional shuttle systems (via simultaneous multi-location picking/storing).
Versatile SKU Support: Accommodates unlimited SKUs, from small parts to large pallets—suitable for mixed-inventory operations (e.g., retail, manufacturing).
