SSI SCHAEFER Korea has highlighted its four-way Pallet Roaming Shuttle. It is designed for high-density warehouse storage. They are targeting operators seeking better space utilisation and flexible pallet handling, the system is designed for multi-level storage.
Key Highlights

- Payload: Up to 3,000 kg per shuttle.
- Positioning: RFID and photoelectric systems with ±5 mm accuracy.
- Applications: Manufacturing, food and beverage, and temperature-controlled warehouses.
What Has Been Announced
This SSI Pallet Roaming Shuttle applies a multi-sensor navigation on board, thus granting it capabilities to determine its location, check surroundings, and detect barricades. It can move in any direction, thus allowing for one- and several-pallet storage at various levels.
The equipment is designed for operations with low- to medium-level SKU and low-throughput requirements, where there is a need to combine efficient storage with flexible retrieval and not just fast movement of pallets. It can serve an average warehousing facility with limited space for expansion and significant pallet handling operations.
Why It Matters
The trend in warehouse automation is to provide maximum capacity of already running buildings and match investment needs with operational requirements. High Density Shuttle systems help reduce dependency on wide travel aisles and utilize vertical space more effectively.
