Different Pallets? One Racking System? No Problem!

Can wood pallets and plastic pallets both work in the same automated high-racking system? Yes - even if they are different sizes! You just have to shuttle them.

Use a shuttle to rack heavy wood pallets and nestable plastics in the same system.

Pallet racking is everywhere. Warehouses, manufacturing plants and even your local home improvement store all need a way to store palletized products on their shelves.

Speed and maximum efficiency is the name of the game in high-racking systems. Product arriving on a misfit pallet can grind operations to a halt and quickly erode the economic benefits of this highly-optimized link in the logistics chain. Lightweight shuttles quickly and easily get your system back on track.

Here’s how the shuttle keeps your racking system humming:

• Pallet size doesn’t matter
  Pallets that don’t quite fit the dimensions for your system can be fitted with the shuttle for easy conveying or storage.
    
• Pallet material doesn’t matter
  From heavy duty wood to lightweight plastics, shuttles carry the load to make most any pallet compatible in your racking system.
    
• Pallet rackability doesn’t matter
  Nestable plastic pallets are known for their space-saving design for empty transport and storage. With shuttles, even nestables can rack.

The shuttle is your answer to oddball pallets entering your racking system. Imagine no more breakdowns in operations caused by ill-fitting or damaged pallets. Every pallet is transported smoothly when it rests on our expertly designed shuttle with pivot-mounted and bend-proof aluminum beams. Complete shuttle specs and a shuttle video can be found on our website.
