Radioshuttle Satellite Racking
Radioshuttle is a storage system that combines extremely high storage density with improved pallet and pick face access. Offering First in, First out and and First In, Last Out pallet movement via a remote-control Radioshuttle satellite.
APC have partnered with Radioshuttle, the industry leader in high density, semi automated satellite racking. The racking system is designed with tapered side rails to allow for easier forklift loading of the Radioshuttle satellite unit. Due to the semi automated satellite design the trucks do not have to enter the racking system so the risk of rack damage from the forklift is virtually eliminated. Radioshuttle utilises the entire volume of a warehouse, while offering efficient and economical pallet access and storage.
NOTE: If you’re considering putting in any kind of pallet racking, and want increased efficiency in pallet decanting, particularly in high-throughput applications, consider our range of EPRM’s (Empty Pallet Return Modules)

FILO Storage – First In, Last Out
The ‘first-in last-out’ (FILO) pallet management takes place in one or more tunnels of racking. This means that the rack can be made much deeper than an ordinary high density racking system such as drive in racking or block stacking. Furthermore, the truck does not need to stand and wait for the Radioshuttle, it is free to continue on with its next operation. This results in a higher rate of throughput while reducing the trucks handling time.
- Increases the warehouse capacity
- Improves productivity in inventory management
FIFO Storage – First In, First Out
Here the Satellite Racking is loaded from one end and unloaded on the opposite end. The organised system of storage and the pallets are therefore managed after the principle, first in-first out.
- Ideal for goods such as food products that are manufactured in batches and have use by dates where the FIFO principle is critical.
- Radioshuttle can be programmed to shuffle the pallets towards the despatch side to ensure the maximum occupancy is achieved in the rack.
- Radioshuttle can perform a stocktake function which will count the pallets in any given lane.
Radioshuttle
APC have had a long and ongoing partnership with Radioshuttle. The latest model is a 6th generation machine which is the result of 30 years of evolution and continuous improvement. Look below to see the launch video of the RS6.0 Radioshuttle.
