Shuttle Racking Systems: High-Density Pallet Storage Solutions | GLOBAL Storage Solutions
At GLOBAL Storage Solutions, our Shuttle Racking Systems are industry-leading high-density pallet storage systems designed to streamline warehouse operations. Powered by an electric Pallet Shuttle Cart, these systems simplify loading and unloading processes, making them ideal for warehouses.
Overview of Shuttle Racking Systems
Shuttle Racking Systems store pallets on dedicated rails within high-density warehouse setups, using a self-powered shuttle cart to transport pallets in and out of storage lanes.
Unlike traditional racking, our shuttle storage systems allow shuttle carts to operate independently within the rack structure—eliminating the need for forklifts to enter storage lanes. This automation makes operations simpler, faster, and more cost-effective. Operators control all pallet storage and extraction via a remote control, reducing exposure to hazardous conditions and minimizing accidents.
Shuttle Racking Systems: FAQs
What is Shuttle Racking?
Shuttle Racking Systems are advanced pallet racking solutions that use self-powered shuttle carts to handle pallet loading and unloading. The shuttle cart runs on rails within storage lanes and is transported between lanes using a standard forklift.
What is Shuttle Pallet Racking Used for?
Shuttle Racking Systems excel in diverse applications, including:
- Whole pallet handling
- FIFO (First-In-First-Out) and LIFO (Last-In-First-Out) storage
- Cold storage facilities
- Warehouses with limited human access
Suitable for both small and large warehouses, these systems scale easily—simply add more shuttles as operations grow. They’re also among the most effective automated storage solutions for maximizing warehouse storage density.
How Much Does a Shuttle Storage System Cost?
The cost of Shuttle Racking Systems varies based on system type, size, and the number of shuttle carts required. For a tailored quote, contact our team today to discuss your warehouse’s unique needs.
Key Benefits of Our Shuttle Racking Systems
Safety Features
- Perimeter protection limits access to racking areas, restricted to authorized maintenance personnel only.
- Shuttle carts are equipped with advanced position sensors to prevent collisions and incidents.
- Reduces human errors associated with forklift operation, lowering accident risks.
Space Utilisation
Shuttle Racking Systems require minimal clearance between levels and pallets, enabling maximum storage density—perfect for warehouses looking to optimize space.
Time Efficiency
- Shuttle carts reach speeds of up to 65m/min (empty) and 50m/min (loaded), ensuring fast pallet movement.
- Simultaneous operation of shuttle carts and forklifts reduces loading/unloading cycle times.
Cost Savings
- Optimal space use reduces warehouse footprint, cutting land and rental costs.
- In cold stores, high density lowers energy consumption significantly.
- Automated operation reduces the need for material handling personnel, lowering labor costs.
Operation of Shuttle Racking Systems
Our shuttle racking systems simplify warehouse workflows with a 4-step forklift operation process, designed for ease of use and efficiency.

How does a shuttle system work?
A pallet shuttle system is a semi-automated storage solution where a motorized shuttle moves pallets along rails within a racking structure. Controlled by remote or software, it enhances storage density and retrieval efficiency in deep-lane configurations, reducing the need for forklifts to enter the racks.

Calculating the load-bearing capacity of hot-dip galvanized outdoor cantilever racking requires a comprehensive consideration of the mechanical properties of structural components, connection strength, overall stability, and external environmental loads. It follows the logic of "from components to the whole, from static to dynamic," combined with material characteristics and industry standards (such as China's GB/T 28576 Cantilever Racking and international ANSI MH16.1 Industrial Racking Design Specification). Here are the specific steps and key points:

Very Narrow Aisle (VNA) pallet racking takes the structure of traditional pallet racks but integrates guide rails on both sides of the aisle floor. These rails, made from unequal angle steel, require specialized high-reach forklifts to navigate along the tracks. With aisles slightly wider than the pallet itself, VNA achieves high-density storage while maintaining 100% selectivity—all goods can be accessed by forklifts at any time. The combination of high accessibility efficiency and dense storage delivers significant productivity and cost benefits to logistics centers.
