Explore our top-tier, high-efficiency radio and 4-way pallet shuttle systems designed to maximize vertical footprint and throughput.
Modern supply chains face unprecedented spatial constraints and velocity requirements. Standard drive-in systems, while dense, suffer from sluggish access speeds, excessive forklift transit times, and frequent racking damage risks. The shift to dynamic Radio Shuttle Systems addresses these inefficiencies head-on.
By decoupling horizontal pallet movement from the lift truck operations, shuttle racking structures achieve optimal volumetric utilization. Pallets are placed on an automated cart that maneuvers along integrated rails inside deep storage tunnels. This reduces SKU access time significantly, enabling high throughput while preserving structural integrity. The incorporation of advanced sensor arrays ensures precise deceleration and positioning, preventing load shifting and structural collision.
Enables storage configurations up to 40+ pallets deep, increasing vertical storage utilization by up to 80% compared to traditional selective racking.
Radio shuttles travel at speeds up to 1.2m/s loaded, minimizing travel time and allowing simultaneous cross-docking operations.
Zero forklift entry into deep racking structures, drastically lowering forklift-inflicted racking collisions and operational hazards.
How Durack orchestrates robust manufacturing with premium raw materials and state-of-the-art automation to serve global distribution hubs.
The efficiency of a high-density racking system relies entirely on the structural integrity and precision tolerances of the steel profiles and tracks. Founded in 2014, Dongguan Durack Logistics Equipment Co., Ltd. is a premier Chinese storage racking system manufacturer operating a 35,000 m² facility. Backed by 12 years of industry experience and 8 years of global export history, the company generates $28 million in annual export revenue.
Our operation benefits directly from the local logistics ecosystem of South China, combining prompt raw material procurement with highly efficient shipping corridors. Processing high-grade structural carbon steels (such as Q235B and Q355B), our rolling mills shape profiles under strict dimensional limits to prevent rail misalignment, ensuring the radio shuttle navigates perfectly flat runways. This level of consistency minimizes cart wheel wear and operational power consumption.
Optimizing your storage flow requires a deep technical understanding of shuttle mobility matrices.
Operates linearly within defined storage tunnels. Shuttles are moved between different levels or aisles via standard forklifts. Best suited for high-volume, single-SKU channels running on LIFO patterns.
Features complete X-Y axis movement, allowing vehicles to change tracks, cross aisles, and shift vertical levels automatically in coordination with smart elevators (ASRS). Ideal for high-density, multi-SKU facilities.
Equipped with heavy-duty Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) battery packs, utilizing fast induction charging. Systems achieve up to 8-10 hours of uninterrupted operational cycles with rapid swap technology.
