Pallet Shuttle Racking – A Shuttle Robot Inside the Rack Lane
A shuttle robot runs on rails inside the rack lane, storing and retrieving pallets up to 40 positions deep. The storage density of Drive-In racking, but far faster and far safer.
Why Choose Pallet Shuttle Racking?
The natural upgrade from Drive-In when the warehouse needs both density and speed.
A robot does the forklift’s work
The forklift stays at the mouth of the lane while the robot drives inside — faster, with no risk of striking the uprights.
Lanes up to 40 pallets deep
Far deeper than Drive-In (4–10 pallets), reaching close to maximum storage density.
Runs both FIFO and LIFO
Open the lane at both ends for FIFO, at one end for LIFO — highly flexible by product type.
Perfect for cold stores
Staff no longer go deep into the cold area; the robot works instead — safer and cheaper.

How Pallet Shuttle Racking Works
Only one robot is needed per lane in use; the forklift moves the robot between lanes.
Place the robot in the lane
The forklift lifts the robot onto the rails at the mouth of the lane you want to work.
Load a pallet
The forklift places the pallet on the robot, which drives inside and sets it down in the deepest free position.
Retrieve a pallet
Give the retrieve command and the robot drives in, lifts the pallet and brings it out to the forklift.
Automatic compaction
Compact mode has the robot push all the pallets to one side of the lane, consolidating the free space.
Move to another lane
The forklift lifts the robot into the next lane — one robot serves many lanes.
Charging
The robot returns to the charging station at the end of the shift, or you swap in a spare battery to run continuously across shifts.
