How Does the Four-Way Shuttle System Work?
The four-way shuttle is the core executing unit for receiving commands and transporting pallets within an automated warehouse. Its onboard control system translates tasks from the higher-level scheduling system into specific instructions, controlling the shuttle to perform actions such as moving along sub-rails or main rails, lifting or lowering pallets, and changing directions between rails. This enables the shuttle to store, retrieve, and transport pallets efficiently. When integrated with the Warehouse Control System (WCS) and scheduling system, the shuttle network supports intelligent, high-density, and efficient warehouse operations.

What are the Applications of HEGERLS 4-way Pallet Shuttle System
The Perfect Solution for Automated Product Turnover and Warehouse Management
The 4-way automated pallet shuttle storage system is an ideal solution for businesses aiming to optimize available space and dramatically increase productivity by handling multiple pallets per hour. It enables seamless automation and high-density storage, making it especially suitable for modern, fast-paced warehousing environments.
Massive Storage Capacity
Perfect for facilities with medium to high consumption SKUs or operations that require storing a large number of pallets per SKU.
High Product Turnover
Tailored for companies dealing with high-turnover SKUs that demand exceptionally high throughput and rapid pallet handling.
Cold Storage Ready
Ideal for refrigerated and frozen warehouses, this system minimizes the required cooling volume and eliminates the need for operator presence in low-temperature environments.
Buffer Storage
Efficiently manages temporary storage of multiple pallet unit loads, such as in shipping and staging areas, ensuring smooth logistics and flow control.
Case Study
FAQ
When Should You Install an Automated Pallet Shuttle System?
An automated pallet shuttle system is an extremely effective solution for warehouses with high product turnover, where maximizing every inch of available storage space is critical. It is also ideal for companies engaged in bulk storage of medium- to high-consumption SKUs or operations handling a large number of pallets per SKU. Additionally, the system is well-suited for cold storage environments. Its compact design significantly reduces the volume of air that needs to be cooled, leading to substantial energy savings. Moreover, automation eliminates the need for operators to work in low-temperature conditions, improving both safety and efficiency.
What Types of Pallets Can the Four-Way Shuttle System Store?
The four-way shuttle system supports a wide range of pallet types thanks to its shuttles, which are available in three different sizes to accommodate the most common pallet dimensions. All three models share the same front-facing dimension, as pallets are handled from the wider side (1,200 mm). The depth varies to match the two most typical pallet depths—1,000 mm and 1,200 mm—ensuring compatibility with standard warehouse operations.
Can the Four-Way Shuttle System Store Irregular Pallets, Half Pallets, or Non-Palletized Loads?
Yes, although not directly. The Four-Way Shuttle System can accommodate irregularly sized pallets by placing them on standard pallets that are compatible with both the shuttle and the racking system. These standard pallets act as slave pallets to ensure smooth handling and storage.
For non-standard unit loads such as intermediate bulk containers (IBCs) or big bags, the loads should first be placed on pallets. Once properly palletized, they can be safely stored on the racking rails using the Four-Way Shuttle System.
