The cost of a shuttle racking system depends on the warehouse layout,required storage capacity,rack specifications,and level of automation.Unlike standard pallet racking,shuttle racking is usually designed as a complete storage solution for a specific project.

What Affects the Cost?

Several factors can change the final project cost.

Rack size and capacity are important.Higher racks,longer beams,heavier pallets,and more storage levels require different structural specifications.

The number of pallet positions also affects the total investment.A larger storage capacity normally requires more racking components and a larger system.

The shuttle cars and control system are another major cost factor.A semi-automatic shuttle system generally requires less investment than a highly automated solution integrated with conveyors,lifts,WMS,or other equipment.

Semi-Automatic or Automated Shuttle Racking?

Semi-automatic shuttle racking uses a remote-controlled shuttle car to move pallets inside the rack.It can provide high-density storage without requiring a fully automated warehouse.

For projects with higher throughput and automation requirements,shuttle racking can be integrated with conveyors,pallet lifts,AGVs,or WMS/WCS systems.This increases the initial investment but can provide a more automated warehouse operation.

Because every warehouse is different,an accurate shuttle racking system cost requires basic project information such as warehouse dimensions,pallet size and weight,required pallet positions,storage height,and inbound/outbound requirements.
