Shuttle Racking
Craftsman Radio shuttle is a semi-automatic storage solution for handling goods inside rack bays, similar to Drive-In systems. The radio shuttle eliminates the need for forklift entry within the racking system thereby achieving deeper racking systems, hence offering a safe, fast, cost-effective & time-saving solutions.

Advantages
What are the Advantages of Shuttle Racking?
Craftsman’s Shuttle Racking system uses powered shuttles to automatically carry loads into the rack, making it a high-density compact storage solution, it can work in both FIFO (First In, First Out) and LIFO (Last In, First Out) modes where the material handling operator places the load on support rails at the loading area, which prompts the shuttle to store the pallet at the next available free space. Our Radio shuttle racking system is compatible with all major types of forklifts, including counterbalance, narrow-aisle, and swing reach lifts. Furthermore, the safety of the racking structure is ensured as lift trucks never actually enter the racking system like Drive-In.
High capacity Lithium ion battery
Reduced handling time
Increased storage capacity
Safe Collision-free storage
Advantages of using Shuttle Racking
- 01Collision-free storage
- 02Optimum space utilization due to a low rack compartment height.
- 03Offers sufficient height and width for multiple pallet channels.
- 04Reduced handling time and increased storage capacity in depth as lift truck does not need to drive into the racking structure.
- 05Dollies are equipped with batteries that regenerate energy during deceleration, thus operating up to eight hours on a single charge.

Frequently Asked Questions
ASRS enables precise storage and retrieval of materials, helping warehouses maximize space, speed operations with minimal errors, and enhance safety while reducing long-term labor costs.
To build an ASRS, you need solid warehouse infrastructure (racks, floors, safety controls), automated equipment with a Warehouse Management System, clear operations with trained staff and compliance, plus consultation and analysis to tailor the system to your needs.
Mini Load ASRS is designed for cartons, bins, and small loads versus an ASRS that picks up and puts down pallets. In this way, the small-capacity store relates to efficient placement and retrieval processes to minimize picking errors and speed up order processing for small to medium-sized inventory operations.
Warehouse Automation solutions can smoothly work with your current Pallet Racking and ASRS Racking Systems to help move materials, track inventory in real-time, boost efficiency, and need very few changes to your facility.
Cold Storage Automation Systems are custom-made to run effectively in a fully refrigerated or frozen warehouse. Regarding pallet movements, these systems will track 100% to maintain the cold chain and minimize human presence, ensuring that products remain safe and meet temperature-sensitive requirements.
Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems eliminate manual handling, allowing the workforce to focus on strategic tasks, which reduces labor costs and enhances safety and productivity.
We can easily expand both the Pallet ASRS and the Mini Load ASRS Systems. This built-in feature makes it easy to add more racks, storage lanes, or automated handling units as warehouse operations grow, ensuring flexibility and a good return on investment over time.
ASRS Warehouse Systems benefit diverse industries, including FMCG, cold chain, pharmaceutical, textile, renewable energy, engineering, petrochemicals, fertilizers, tires, logistics, automotive, manufacturing, and many more.
ASRS can be managed with small bins and can also store large pallets. For instance, a bin stores items that are small and wouldn't take up much space. Pallet storage is for bulk goods and heavy loads. The automated shuttle, crane, or robotic arm retrieves items inside an ASRS System efficiently and accurately, utilizing the maximum height.
The investment depends on the size of the warehouse, the type of system (unit-load, mini-load, or shuttle), and the way these systems have to be integrated. The return on investment comes mainly from reduced expenses in labor costs, quicker filling of orders, increased accuracy, and better space usage.
