Maintain maximum selectivity and increase the efficiency of your operation with the ACL Pallet Shuttle. A Radio Shuttle, also known as a pallet runner, is a semi-automatic storage and retrieval system that maximizes warehouse space. The shuttle car can move along the track inside the storage aisle and is easily managed by remote control.

Warehouse operations run more smoothly because forklifts do not have to access racks, reducing the risk of accidents.

The forklift only leaves the load on the track, and the pallet shuttle automatically picks it up and moves it. The trays are as compact as possible, each slotted in its place. Since forklifts do not need to drive into the driveway, loading and unloading times are shorter, and storage capacity is higher and deeper.

In other words, the Pallet Shuttle System provides a compact storage solution that reduces operating costs and improves supply chain performance, enabling optimal smart warehousing.

Pallet Shuttle Structure

ACL Radio Shuttle consists of a base platform equipped with wheels to enable it to move, a pallet lifting system on the shuttle itself, and a long list of sensors and detection readers that collect information from its environment and enforce safety measures.

The shuttle is equipped with different status indicators to inform the operator of any possible error, battery level, or whether it is on or off.

Advantages of ACL Radio Shuttle

Higher technical capacity

• ACLII-A shuttle speed: V_empty 1.5m/s, V_full 1.0m/s. Global lead
• ACLII-B shuttle carrying capacity: 1.5T. Global lead
• ACLII-T shuttle carrying capacity: 2T. Global lead
• Efficiency: about 1.5~2 times faster than other counterparts.
• Rapidity and stability: realize both rapidity and stability.

Higher compatibility and stability

• Suitable for a different warehouse: Normal temperature, low temperature, cool, and corrosion warehouse;
• Suitable for different pallets: Wooden pallets, plastic pallets, steel pallets, thin edge pallets, dark pallets, incomplete pallets, etc. Compatible with big and small pallets.
• The Pallet Shuttle System is anti-interference designed. The detection signal adopts a special detecting mode, and the instantaneous interference signal is shielded;
• The imported customized remote control is adopted, which is stable and reliable and has a far transmission distance, and a high IP class ;
• German laser detection is adopted, which is not affected by the environment and has accurate and reliable detection.;
• Lithium battery is safe and reliable and has a long lifetime.;
• Japan bearing, joint bearing with military quality, high-grade screw, and special mounting technology to ensure not loose for a long time.;
• The guide wheel has a locking mechanism, which does not need to be adjusted for three years;
• Each process considers all possibilities to ensure that the order can be executed in any case.

More Intelligence

• Intelligent in-stock design: Cargo on the in-stock end can be recognized within one meter no matter where the cargo locates or what status shuttle is, And also can recognize the crushed cargo;
• Intelligent out-stock design: Out-stock has two modes, first when no cargo is detected on the out-stock end the OUT can be executed, but in another mode, out-stock is one by one successively. During out-stock, location can be automatically regulated if an inaccurate pallet location is found. Cargo out-stock with designated quantity can be realized, and the quantity still can be kept in case of power failure;
• Intelligent shifting-stock design: Two kinds of shifting-stock functions such as FIFO and FILO can be realized by remote control. When shifting-stock action is interrupted, one button is to continue shifting-stock;
• COUNT function: ACLII-B has a COUNT function, which is real-time indicated by remote control. It is convenient to count up product quantity in each laneway and the continuous count is supported.
• Parameter standardization design: Various parameters are set up by remote control to match various applications so that such applications become more flexible.
• More convenient operation: customized remote control, Chinese or English operation panel, status prompt and alarm prompt in English make operation simplified.;
• Swift Maintenance: The operator can acquire the status and alarm message of the shuttle in English through remote control, and get trouble-eliminating methods by looking up the maintenance manual or contacting the manufacturer for solutions.

Higher safety

• Self-inspection function of component: Once the component has a fault or damage, the equipment can make self-inspection and send an alarm prompt.
• Collision protection: The equipment is equipped with an obstacle avoidance sensor to timely send an alarm for the emergent stop in case of an obstacle, which can play the role of collision protection and shield the false alarm for forklift detected on the end of the shuttle carrier;
• Light cargo falling prevention: Use hardware and software as two kinds of protection to ensure the cargo not falling.
• Forced running function: Once dust affects laser detection, the equipment can be moved to the end through the forced running function, which does not need a rescue vehicle;
• All low-temperature design: By means of low-temperature resistance design with moisture-proof function and without the heating device, the system can normally work under a low temperature of -25℃and reliable like a normal temperature shuttle.
• Feed protection function: When the low battery is, the radio shuttle executes the current action, then returns to the HOME position for alarm. No more accepting instructions;
• The laser is equipped with a protective board: to avoid laser damage or angle deviation due to misoperation by the forklift operator.

Styles of ACL Radio Shuttle

Our Radio Shuttle comes in 8 styles: Economic Type, Standard Type, High-configuration type, Heavy loading type, and Low temp. type, Wifi type, Stacker type, M/S type. The following two tables are their technical parameters.

Technical Parameters: Economic Type, Standard Type, High-configuration type, Heavy loading type.

Technical Parameters: Low-temperature type, Wifi type, Stacker type, M/S type.

Outline dimensions and weight:

Note:
Different dimensions of radio shuttle can be tailor-made as per various kinds of pallets and rails.
Pallet sizes, i.e. 1200X1000 (front number 1200 means fork-in direction /width direction, rear number 1000 means width direction)

Radio Shuttle Affiliated Equipment

1) Rescue equipment

The rescue vehicle of the radio shuttle is equipment to drag the radio shuttle to the cargo rack port, when the radio shuttle cannot move on the rack due to trouble. Manual mode is adopted to make forward or backward with the handle.

The operating method is as follows:

First of all, the rescue vehicle is forked to the radio shuttle rail by forklift, then the operator moves the rescue vehicle to the faulty radio shuttle. Firstly switch off the main power supply of the radio shuttle, then connect the radio shuttle to the rescue vehicle by the hook. Then move them to the cargo rack port by the manual handle. Remove the hook, then fork out the rescue vehicle and radio shuttle separately.

2) Charging cabinet

The charging cabinet, equipment to charge the battery of the radio shuttle, has two charging positions. The charging position circuit is designed with an independent power supply, which can charge two batteries simultaneously or charge one battery together. Charging will automatically stop when the battery is fully charged. The charging cabinet has simple operation and convenient application.

3) Auxiliary placement system

When working on higher racks, forklift operators often drop off radio shuttles due to insufficient sight or less experience. In order to solve this problem, our company has developed a set of auxiliary placement systems for the radio shuttle, which can provide the forklift with a visual interface to prevent the radio shuttle from dropping off by misoperation.

4) Auxiliary rescue system

When a radio shuttle is rescued by a rescue vehicle, the radio shuttle with cargo is hardly dragged out if the radio shuttle is on heavy duty. By means of this auxiliary system, pallets can be firstly placed on the rail, then radio shuttle directly dragged out!
