Case Study I Luís Simões<br />

The racks using Pallet Shuttle are operated<br />

as follows:<br />

1. Using the forklift, the operator introduces<br />

the Pallet Shuttle into the corresponding<br />

channel.<br />

2. With the pallet loaded, the Pallet Shuttle<br />

moves horizontally until it reaches the<br />

first free location, where it leaves the<br />

pallet.<br />

3. While the Pallet Shuttle moves and<br />

places the pallet into its location, the<br />

opera tor places another pallet in the original<br />

position in the channel.<br />

Thus, when the shuttle returns to the<br />

beginning of the lane it can successively<br />

repeat the same movement.<br />

When loading in the channel is completed,<br />

the Pallet Shuttle is moved on to the next<br />

one. Extraction is done by reversing these<br />

steps.<br />
