Design Principles and Specifications of Shuttle Racks

August 14, 2023

In recent years, the rapid increase in storage demand and the rise in land costs have prompted the emergence of intensive storage. As one of the dense storage racking solutions, the shuttle racking system has been sought after by many enterprises. Shuttle racking system is a racking system composed of storage racking system, shuttle truck and forklift. This kind of shelf can not only greatly save storage space, but also store goods efficiently and flexibly.

Second, the design principles of shuttle shelves.

1. Planning dimensions. L is the net width of the aisle, W is the width of the pallet (fork entry direction), H is the height of the first layer: 340 mm (pad type) and 430 mm (adjustable foot type), h is about 100 mm from the top of the cargo to the bottom of the upper beam reserved height.

2. Determine the length of the guide rail and the number of shuttle cars.

According to the number of pallets entering and leaving the warehouse every day and the working time, the round-trip time of the forklift operation, the depth of the roadway (the best efficiency is 20 pallets, the deeper the roadway, the longer the time of entry and exit, and the number of shuttles and forklifts to be matched will also vary. increase), confirm the length of the guide rail and the number of shuttles, and the number of forklifts to be matched.

3. Finally, understand the common parameters of the shuttle car.

1. Walking speed:

Normal loading speed: 0.6~0.8 m/s adjustable; empty normal speed: 0.7-0.9m/s adjustable; deceleration before parking: 0.1-0.2m/s adjustable; manual advance and retreat speed: 0.1-0.2m/s adjustable;

2. Maximum rated load: 1500kg.

Shuttle racks have obvious advantages in traditional production enterprises. Taking the shuttle rack as the prototype, combined with the specific needs of users, four-way shuttle rack system, multi-layer shuttle system, and multi-layer shuttle system with bins can be derived.
