Channel and compact storage solutions from Stöcklin allow multiple depth storage, i.e. a number of load carriers can be stored one in back of the other. This space-saving method is particularly advantageous in the food and beverage industry as well as in the energy-intensive deep freeze sector.
Storage and retrieval are accomplished by the PowerShuttle. This carrier vehicle is positioned in front of the shelves by a stacker crane, allowing it to travel horizontally on a rail into the assigned channel where it moves beneath the pallet.

The storage locations are assigned by the warehouse management system in consideration of the minimum best before date of the goods using the FiFo system (First-in/First-out). The PowerShuttle communicates using radio frequency signals and is positioned by means of absolute encoders and sensors. The PowerShuttle is available in one or two-pallet versions (single or double PowerShuttle) and is also suitable for use down to -30 °C.
