Which is better for intelligent rack in cold storage, two-way shuttle vehicles or four-way shuttle vehicles?

Due to the low temperature and high operating costs of cold storage, coupled with the increase in labor and management costs, many enterprises hope that the storage and management of goods in cold storage can be automated. Two-way shuttle vehicle shelves and four-way shuttle vehicle three-dimensional shelves are two types of intelligent storage shelves that are more commonly used in cold storage. Then, which is better for cold storage intelligent rack, two-way shuttle vehicles or four-way shuttle vehicles? Let's find out below.

Each of them has its own advantages. Two-way shuttle car racking belongs to semi-automatic storage racking. It is just an additional two-way shuttle car on the basis of racking. The goods need to be lifted to the first storage position in each aisle on each floor by forklift before the shuttle car can be used to achieve automated storage and retrieval.

The four-way vehicle shuttle vehicle three-dimensional shelf is based on the shelf and is equipped with four-way vehicles, elevators, software, systems, etc. to achieve fully automated storage and retrieval of goods. This is a highly intelligent storage system. Compared with the two-way shuttle vehicle shelves, it is more efficient and can also save more labor and management costs. However, the cost of fully automatic cold storage intelligent shelves is higher than that of semi-automatic cold storage shelves. Whether it is a two-way shuttle vehicle or a four-way shuttle vehicle, they are both suitable for cold storage. The key lies in the difference in efficiency and cost.
