January 30, 2026

The shuttle rack is a semi-automatic warehouse shelving system. As a high-density and efficient storage system, it has been increasingly applied in cold chain logistics in recent years. Can the shuttle rack be used in cold storage below -20°C? The custom-made warehouse shelving factory analyzes.

suitable. The shuttle racks are a mature storage device. Shuttle vehicles have already been able to meet the requirements for use in low-temperature cold storages. The shelf part doesn't need to be worried about much either, as they can be used above -30°C. However, it should be noted that do not use inferior shuttle rack for cold storage environments; the quality must meet the usage standards of low-temperature cold storages.

The efficiency of manual picking is significantly reduced under low-temperature conditions, while the automated shuttle system can achieve "separation of humans and vehicles", with operators remotely controlling from the temperature-controlled area, significantly reducing the exposure time of personnel in extreme environments. In an environment of -25°C, the operation efficiency of the shuttle system can be more than half higher than manual picking, and the density of storage positions can be increased by 30%-40%, which has a significant cost reduction and efficiency improvement effect for low-temperature cold storages. Customized storage rack factories can provide free design plans and quotations according to requirements.
