Which is more suitable for cold storage, through-type storage racks or shuttle car racks?

Due to the low temperature, cold storage facilities have certain special requirements for the selection of storage shelves when storing goods, such as low-temperature adaptability, access efficiency, energy conservation, and long-term stability. Through-type racks and shuttle racks are commonly used dense racks in cold storage. Which is more suitable for cold storage, through-type storage racks or shuttle car racks? Let's find out.

Through-type racks adopt the "First in, Last Out" (FILO) or "First in, First Out" (FIFO) access mode, allowing forklifts to directly enter the rack aisles for operations. The storage capacity is large with dense storage locations, but the efficiency is not high. Shuttle racking is a type of semi-automatic warehouse racking that uses shuttle vehicles to achieve semi-automated storage and retrieval. The storage capacity is large and the efficiency is relatively high with dense storage locations.

It can be seen that if there is a high demand for efficiency, shuttle racking is more suitable for cold storage, but its cost is higher than that of through-type racking, after all, it adds shuttle vehicles. If there are not many requirements for efficiency, through-type storage racks are a more cost-effective choice. However, no matter which type of cold storage rack is used, its quality must meet the usage standards of the cold storage to ensure its usage effect and service life.
