Racking Solutions
At BHD Storage Solutions, our Shuttle Racking Systems are high-density pallet storage systems that make it easier for warehouses to load and unload goods thanks to an electric carriage called a Pallet Shuttle Cart. We supply shuttle racking for Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney warehouses.
Our shuttle storage system uses shuttle carts to move independently within the rack itself, meaning forklifts are no longer needed to reach inside of storage lanes. This makes the process much simpler, quicker and less costly. The operator performs all of the procedures for the storing and extracting of pallets using a remote control, which minimises their exposure to risky conditions and helps to avoid accidents and injuries.
Using shuttle racking in Brisbane and Australia wide comes with a wide range of advantages across safety, usage of space, and cost and time efficiency, making it an ideal choice when a storage solution is required.
Safety:
- Perimeter protection is installed to ensure limited human access to the racking area, except for authorised maintenance personnel.
- The shuttle cart is equipped with position sensors to avoid collision or other incidents
- Human errors associated with forklift use can be heavily reduced
Space Utilisation:
- The BHD Shuttle Racking System in Australia requires minimal clearance between levels and pallets, which allows for high-density storage.
Time Efficiency:
- Travelling speed of the shuttle cart can reach up to 65m/min when empty, or 50m/min when loaded.
- Shuttle cart and forklift can work simultaneously to reduce cycle time to load or unload pallets.
Cost Friendly:
- Optimum space utilisation can reduce warehouse area, and consequently reduce land costs. For cold storage, energy consumption can be significantly reduced.
- Its automated system reduces the number of personnel required for material handling.
- Shuttle racking for Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney warehouses can minimise the cost of maintenance and use of forklifts.

FAQs for Shuttle Racking Systems
Shuttle racking, also called satellite racking, is an automated storage solution where a shuttle or carrier moves pallets inside deep racking lanes. It reduces manual handling, increases storage density, and speeds up pallet access.
Unlike traditional racking where forklifts manually load and unload pallets, shuttle pallet racking automates the process using a shuttle carrier. This allows multiple pallets to be stored in each lane, saving space and time.
Yes. Shuttle racking systems can handle a wide range of pallet sizes and weights. The system can also be adjusted to handle fragile or delicate goods safely without damage.
Most shuttle systems include backup power or manual override options, allowing pallets to be retrieved safely even during a power failure. BHD Storage Solutions ensures contingency plans are in place for smooth operation.
The cost depends on warehouse size, pallet volume, system type, and automation level. BHD Storage Solutions provides tailored quotes after assessing your storage needs and designing the optimal shuttle racking layout.
