Frequently Asked Questions
What is automated warehouse racking?
Automated warehouse racking is a storage structure engineered to work with automated equipment such as storage and retrieval machines, robotic systems, and pallet shuttles. It provides the structural support and dimensional accuracy needed for reliable automated material handling.
What is the difference between AS/RS and pallet shuttle racking?
AS/RS typically uses automated machines or robots to store and retrieve inventory within a coordinated storage system. Pallet shuttle systems use automated carriers to move pallets within high-density storage lanes. Both require racking engineered for the specific automation technology.
Can Speedrack integrate with different automation providers?
Speedrack engineers racking to accommodate project-specific automation requirements and equipment interfaces. Coordination with the automation provider is essential to confirm compatibility, dimensional tolerances, loading requirements, and system integration.
Why is precision important in automated warehouse racking?
Automated equipment operates within defined clearances and positioning tolerances. Properly engineered and installed racking helps maintain alignment, support equipment movement, and reduce operational interference.
Can automated racking increase warehouse storage capacity?
Yes. Automated systems can support high-density configurations, narrow operating clearances, and efficient vertical storage, allowing facilities to store more inventory within a given footprint.
Pallet Shuttle Racking Systems
More Storage. Smarter Movement.
Maximize warehouse capacity with Speedrack’s engineered pallet shuttle racking solutions. Designed for two-way and four-way shuttle technologies, our high-density systems combine precision-manufactured racking with automated pallet movement to reduce manual handling and optimize storage space.
From semi-automated deep-lane storage to fully automated pallet ASRS applications, Speedrack engineers the infrastructure to support your selected shuttle technology.
