In the logistics and warehousing industry, more and more warehouses install pallet racks, there are many kinds of warehouse pallet racks, such as selective pallet racks, drive-in racks, very narrow aisle racks, push-back racks, radio shuttle racks, and so on. Storage racks could be designed based on different warehouse requirements.
Radio Shuttle racks have been highly anticipated by customers in recent years, and their own characteristics always make them different. Radio Shuttle racks have some advantages and disadvantages as below:
The advantages of Radio Shuttle Racks
1. Pallet positions
Each channel of the radio shuttle rack can achieve a depth of around 35 positions, when the radio shuttle rack is a one-way pickup, the pallet deep could be 7 positions, And when the radio shuttle racks are two-way pick-up, which could support 14 pallet positions deep, which will make pallet positions more than other racks.
2. Space utilization:
Compared with other racks, radio shuttle racks reduce the forklift aisle, and the space utilization rate is naturally high. The space utilization rate of selective pallet rack is 30%~35%, drive-in rack space utilization rate is 60%~70%, and radio shuttle rack space utilization rate can reach about 80%.
3. Cargo management
Radio shuttle racks could easily be inventory and sorting, which could reduce management costs.
4. Operating costs
Although the cost of radio shuttle racks is higher than that of other racks, it is much lower than that of automated warehouses rack, and the cost of performance is higher and can be effectively applied in all industrial areas.
Disadvantages of Radio Shuttle Racks
1. The storage items are single and cannot be accessed randomly.
2. The size of the radio shuttle board is not standard, and the shuttle boards cannot be used universally.
3. If the equipment fails, the rescue time is relatively long.
The above is about the advantages and disadvantages of radio shuttle racks. I hope that enterprises can choose according to their own use characteristics and needs.
