What is Pallet Runner
A Pallet runner is a high throughput storage system, It uses automated shuttle carts or robots to facilitate pallets’ movement, handling, and retrieval. This enables efficient storage operations while optimizing high-density storage space and reducing labor costs. pallet runner rack systems are well-suited for warehouses, cold storage facilities, logistics centers, and other locations with a large number of SKUs. If your warehouse requires the best storage solution, shuttle systems represent an excellent choice.
Pallet Runner Benefits
With no reliance on traditional forklifts, utilizing robotic pallet handling ensures higher speeds.
Reduced dependence on forklifts significantly lowers labor requirements.
It helps avoid accidents associated with human-operated forklifts.
Semi-automated equipment offers greater flexibility compared to manual forklift operation.

- Different cart models can be equipped based on pallet size for efficient handling of goods.
- Suitable for both FIFO and LIFO different work management modes.
- Semi-automated storage systems reduce contact with goods, thereby reducing damage to shelves and items to some extent.
Pallet Runner Basic Components
The exterior of the pallet runner system is constructed using gas-shielded welding and high-strength bolt connections, making the entire structure practical and convenient for adjustment and maintenance. The shuttle comprises the rack assembly, lifting mechanism, electrical system, auxiliary control of encoder, battery pack, and the following features:
Imported remoter: Stable, reliable, resistant to low temperatures, shock, and moisture, with long transmission distance.
Built-in mount of button indicator light: Different colored lights flashing represent different signals.
German laser detecting and locating: Precise detection technology unaffected by environmental factors, providing reliable results.
Bearing: Japanese military-quality bearings for long-term stability.
Guide roller: Locks the entire system in place, requiring minimal adjustment over time.
Obstacle-avoided photoelectricity with background suppression: Lights up in case of accidental collision.
Electrical component with self-inspection function: Self-adjusting to conduct self-checks and detect issues.
Walking wheels: There are various types of walking wheels, including limit wheel, drive wheel, and driven wheel, all designed with polyurethane for low noise and durability.
Working Mechanism
In a semi-automated storage system, the process begins with the forklift placing the pallet onto the runner. However, the forklift does not enter the rack system; instead, the pallet runner transports the load onto the shelves. Once positioned, the pallet runner returns to the front to receive the next pallet, repeating this cycle until all pallets are collected. Then, guided by sensors, the shuttle moves, positions, and transports the pallets. The pallet runner can operate in a first-in-first-out manner, where goods are placed at one end and the shuttle locates and loads them from the other end. Alternatively, a last-in-first-out mode can be used, in which case the most recently loaded pallets are unloaded first. Shuttles can also be designed in different sizes to accommodate various pallet dimensions, depending on your requirements.
Our Safety Measures of Pallet Runner
During the transportation process, pallet runners may encounter collisions, warnings, and other hazards. To ensure the safe loading of goods, the following are safety measures implemented in the OKE shuttle system:
- Intelligent shifting-stock and out-stock design: Regardless of the equipment’s status, it can autonomously adjust and complete the loading and unloading of goods.
- The self-inspection function of components: Components can conduct self-checks in case of malfunction or damage and send alarm prompts accordingly.
- Collision protection: Timely warning alerts are issued when obstacles appear ahead to avoid collisions.
- Forced running function: Foreign objects ahead can be removed through forced operation without the need for alarm.
- Feed protection function: When the wireless radio is out of power, the pallet runner returns to its original position and issues an alarm.
- Over-current protection circuit: Prevents battery damage due to excessive current.
- Laser support board: Prevents laser damage or deviation caused by misoperation.
- Polyurethane anti-collision strips: installed on both sides of the pallet runner board to reduce shock and impact during collisions.
- Forklift fork plate: Installed at the bottom of the pallet runner to prevent goods from slipping off when the shuttle forks them.
- Rescue vehicle: When a pallet runner is stuck on the track due to a malfunction, a rescue vehicle can tow it out.
Best Applications for Pallet Runner in a Warehouse
