Can unmanned forklifts be used to store and retrieve goods on heavy-duty roller rack?


Heavy-duty roller racking, also known as roller racking or first-in, first-out racking, is a storage system suitable for palletized heavy goods. Its core feature is to use rollers or tracks to achieve automatic sliding of goods, improving storage and picking efficiency. Can heavy-duty roller rack be accessed and stored by unmanned forklifts to achieve fully automated operations?
The answer is affirmative, but it needs to be optimized in combination with shelf design, unmanned forklift technology and system integration. Heavy-duty roller shelves are operated by forklifts to lift goods to the higher end of the shelf, and then the rollers automatically slide towards the end for picking up goods relying on gravity or power. The forklifts used here can be replaced by AGV unmanned forklifts for operation. However, AGV unmanned forklifts need to be equipped with software and a dispatching system to be used.
It can be seen that heavy-duty roller shelves can use unmanned forklifts to store and retrieve goods, but the lifting height of AGV forklifts is generally within 5 meters, so gravity shelves are also not suitable for designing too high a height. It is suitable for the storage of heavy goods such as auto parts, building materials, food, chemical products, industrial raw materials, etc., and is widely used in warehouses, workshops, cold storage and other places.
