HEGERLS Two-Way Shuttle System is a semi-automated high-density pallet storage solution that combines forklift operation with intelligent shuttle technology. Forklifts handle pallet loading and unloading, while shuttle vehicles automatically transport pallets inside storage lanes, improving storage density, reducing manual handling, and enhancing warehouse efficiency.
HEGERLS Two-Way Shuttle System consists of shuttle vehicles, shuttle racking structures, forklift operating aisles, charging equipment, and remote control devices.
Unlike fully automated storage systems, the solution uses forklifts for pallet placement and retrieval while shuttle vehicles perform automatic pallet movement inside deep storage lanes. This combination provides a cost-effective solution for warehouses requiring higher efficiency and storage capacity.
Main Components:
Two-Way Shuttle Vehicle
Shuttle Racking System
Forklift Operation Area
Charging Station
Remote Control System
The shuttle racking design enables deep-lane pallet storage, significantly increasing storage capacity compared with traditional pallet racking while maintaining efficient pallet access.
Forklifts handle pallet loading and unloading at the rack entrance, while shuttle vehicles automatically move pallets inside storage lanes, reducing forklift travel distance and improving efficiency.
By minimizing forklift movement and manual handling operations, the system helps reduce labor requirements, equipment wear, and daily warehouse operating costs.
The system supports both First-In-First-Out (FIFO) and First-In-Last-Out (FILO) storage modes, meeting different inventory management requirements.
Automated pallet transportation inside racks reduces forklift entry into storage lanes, improving warehouse safety and minimizing the risk of rack damage.
Compared with fully automated AS/RS solutions, the semi-automated shuttle system requires lower investment while delivering significant improvements in storage density and operational efficiency.

The forklift places pallets onto the shuttle platform at the rack entrance.
The shuttle vehicle moves pallets automatically inside the storage lane to the assigned position.
The shuttle stores pallets according to the selected storage strategy, maximizing available space.
When required, the shuttle retrieves pallets and brings them to the rack entrance for forklift removal.
Widely applicable to scenarios requiring high density, low temperature, and high-precision inventory management:
A two-way shuttle system is a semi-automated pallet storage solution where forklifts handle pallet loading and unloading, while shuttle vehicles automatically transport pallets inside storage lanes.
Shuttle racking requires forklift operation for pallet access and uses shuttle vehicles for internal transportation, while AS/RS systems achieve fully automated storage and retrieval without forklift involvement.
Two-way shuttle systems are ideal for warehouses with large quantities of similar pallets, including food & beverage, cold chain, manufacturing, and logistics applications.
Yes. HEGERLS two-way shuttle systems can support both FIFO and FILO storage strategies according to customer inventory requirements.
