The Jungheinrich UPC (Under Pallet Carrier) shuttle system is a highly efficient and adaptable solution designed to optimise space utilisation in compact storage environments.
Ideal for warehouses with high-density storage needs, the UPC system offers a unique approach to storing goods by combining automated shuttle technology with racking systems, creating a streamlined, scalable storage method that boosts both capacity and efficiency.
With the Jungheinrich UPC shuttle, pallets are loaded and retrieved automatically by a shuttle moving on rails within the racking structure, eliminating the need for forklifts to enter aisles. This system enables businesses to maximise available storage space by creating deep storage lanes where shuttles handle pallets swiftly and accurately.
It not only increases storage density but also significantly reduces the time required for material handling, which is particularly beneficial for high-demand operations in industries such as logistics, retail, and food & beverage.
Key benefits of the UPC shuttle system include space efficiency, high throughput, and flexible scalability.
The automated handling of pallets allows for rapid movement and storage, accommodating First-In-First-Out (FIFO) or Last-In-First-Out (LIFO) configurations, depending on operational requirements. This adaptability makes it easy to adjust to seasonal peaks, product shifts, or changes in inventory management strategies, ensuring optimal workflow at all times.
Additionally, by reducing the number of aisles and utilising deep-lane storage, the UPC shuttle system can boost storage density by up to 90 per cent, making it an ideal choice for businesses that need to store large volumes in compact spaces.
Jungheinrich’s UPC shuttle system also prioritises safety and reliability. The shuttle’s precise automation minimises human intervention in confined areas, significantly reducing the risk of accidents or damage to goods. Advanced sensor technology ensures smooth and accurate handling of pallets, while intuitive controls enable operators to manage shuttle movements with ease.
This system is backed by Jungheinrich’s renowned engineering standards, providing customers with a dependable solution that can evolve with their operational demands.
For Australian businesses looking to modernise their warehouse operations, the Jungheinrich UPC shuttle offers a forward-thinking solution. Its combination of space optimisation, efficiency, and flexibility is designed to meet the challenges of today’s fast-paced supply chain environment, helping companies maximise productivity and streamline their storage processes.
With global expertise and a commitment to innovation, Jungheinrich delivers a shuttle system that not only enhances operational efficiency but also provides a robust, scalable foundation for future growth.
