Radio shuttle racks and through racks are both intensive storage equipment. Radio shuttle rack systems are warehouse racks that combine storage rack systems and shuttle trucks to fully utilize the three-dimensional space of the warehouse. And then drive through racks can be used for forklifts to enter and access goods, suitable for storing goods with a small variety and a large batch of types. In current warehousing and logistics equipment, these two types of racks are widely installed and used in bulk product warehouses, production, and processing industries, as well as e-commerce warehouses and cold storage warehouses. What is the difference between radio shuttle racks and drive through racks?
There are differences between the two in terms of rack stability. The drive through racks, due to the need for dense storage, some components supporting stability have been reduced inside the racks. Due to the forklift working inside, it is likely to touch the racks, causing problems such as shaking. Due to the dense storage of goods, the higher the load on the racks, the greater the load on them. Therefore, it is not recommended to make the drive through racks too high to improve their stability and safety. Due to its automation requirements, radio shuttle racks require comprehensive consideration of safety, and personnel does not need to operate internally, minimizing the threat to the safety of the racks to the greatest extent possible.
In the field of automated warehousing, there are differences between the two. Radio shuttle racks belong to a relatively comprehensive automated three-dimensional warehouse and have more advantages. In the terminal controllable radio shuttle rack system, the first in, first out or first in, and last out functions can be flexibly selected based on the warehouse structure and the actual situation of goods entering and exiting. Due to their advantages in automated planning and operation, radio shuttle racks are very suitable for use in extreme warehouses such as cold storage, bonded warehouses, and logistics warehouses. They reduce warehouse equipment operations on the basis of the original staff and improve actual work efficiency.
Due to the fact that the layout of radio shuttle racks and drive through racks both belong to a dense rack layout, the volume ratio of warehouses using these two types of racks can be increased by two or three times. Therefore, the high volume ratio of warehouses using radio shuttle racks and drive through racks is not achievable by all other storage racks. Whether it is a radio shuttle rack or a drive through rack, forklifts are used for the storage and retrieval of goods. The radio shuttle rack only needs to use forklifts to place the goods at one end of the radio shuttle rack, and the subsequent process is handed over to the radio shuttle rack to complete, which can reduce or avoid forklift collisions with the rack.
And drive through racks require forklifts to enter the interior of the racks for loading and retrieval operations. Due to the fact that forklifts travel within narrow rack passages, collisions between forklifts and racks cannot be avoided. When using drive through racks, forklift rails are usually added to the forklift passages to reduce the requirements for forklift operators. However, compared to the storage capacity of the same warehouse, radio shuttle racks are significantly more efficient than heavy-duty racks, and push-in racks Gravity racks have higher storage advantages. Although the drive through rack is also a dense inventory method, there is a slight shortage of safety and stability compared to radio shuttle racks.
