Dense storage solution for containers

IT IS said to provide particularly compact storage and order picking for small parts and general cargo. Containers are stacked on top of each other in vertical channels up to 12 m high within PowerCube’s modular racking system. The containers are stored and retrieved by PowerCube shuttles that move automatically underneath the racking system. The system can be flexibly built upwards and can also be adapted to individual roof shapes.

The system can be erected on normal industrial floors without extensive reworking, such as over-milling or sanding. If necessary, it can also be connected to a customised conveyor system.

The PowerCube shuttles move at a maximum speed of 4 m/s and an acceleration of up to 2 m/s². They can simultaneously transport two containers with a load of 50kg each, moving automatically in the plane below the PowerCube racking. Thanks to the scalable number of shuttles, the throughput of the PowerCube can be flexibly adjusted to meet increased demand or expansions in the product range. 

Using lithium-ion batteries, which are temporarily charged at the workstations during operation, the shuttles are ready for use 24 hours a day without downtime.
