Key Components

The extractor moves the desired tray at high transport speeds directly to the access or back to an available storage location.

The lift door is included with the standard accessories of each unit to protect people, machines and stored items as well as to reduce noise and drafts.

Shelf rail modules hold the trays in the access opening. They can provide two trays at the same time, and work on different levels for optimum ergonomics of the operators.

If the safety light barrier in front of the access opening is activated, the unit stops moving immediately to protect the operator and the inventory.

Customized Installations

Thanks to numerous options, the Kardex Shuttle provides flexibility for various needs. The system can be raised, shortened, moved to another location or adapted to new requirements.

The Kardex Shuttle extends over several floor levels and is equipped with up to six access openings on the front and rear of the unit. This makes it possible to work on multiple levels simultaneously. For example, storing inventory and retrieving them at different access points.

To increase warehouse capacity, the Kardex Shuttle can be installed outside of a building with an additional enclosure. In this case, access to the stored goods is via an opening in the wall created especially for this purpose.
