DEMATIC has launched the Pallet Runner materials handling solution that combines the density of drive-in systems with the benefits of pallet-flow systems.
The system uses self-propelled intelligent carts that run along rails.
The rails are supported by a rack structure, and the cart will shunt full pallet loads in and out of the high density storage structure.
The carts can be easily positioned and repositioned by forklifts of an existing fleet.
The system can be established for First-In First-Out (FIFO) or Last-In First-Out (LIFO) operation.
The cart operates automatically and independently within the system, leaving forklift operators free to bring product to and from the racking face without the need to drive into the rack.
The product can operate anywhere from ground-floor level to the highest level of the rack.
The system is controlled by a hand-held electronic transmitter that communicates lift and move functions, while sensors along the storage channel determine where it must stop, deposit the load, and return.
The sensors also determine where the system must position itself to retrieve a load.
The system’s cart can be lifted out of one storage lane and placed into another lane with a forklift truck.
A single cart can service multiple lanes of the system.
