“Matador” Shuttle System
(Automatic 2-D / 4-D Pallet Shuttle)

Description

The Matador Shuttle System is an automatic pallet shuttle available in 2D and 4D configurations, designed to optimize pallet storage in warehouses that require maximum density, productivity, and flexibility.   This system uses autonomous shuttles, an innovative multidirectional electric cart capable of depositing and extracting each pallet with absolute precision, without relying on stacker cranes, forklifts, or other automatic handling equipment.   Thanks to its modular design, the pallet shuttle adapts to warehouse growth, allowing capacity and performance to be scaled without affecting operations. It is an ideal solution for automatic storage in automated warehouses seeking to make better use of available space, reduce unnecessary movements, and speed up order preparation with real-time control.

Features

Smart pallet induction and automated load handling

Each pallet is validated by measurement, weighing, and scanning before entering the system. This automated handling ensures correct loading, preventing errors and damage to boxes, goods, and shelves. Once validated, the satellite cart executes the placement or removal with high precision within the rack channels.

Intelligent operation with self-charging

The automatic shuttle incorporates a self-charging system that eliminates operator intervention. The electric carts monitor their energy levels and autonomously navigate to the charging station, ensuring operational continuity and maximum availability in automated warehouses.

Intelligent 4D motion control

The 4-way pallet shuttle integrates advanced software that coordinates routes, levels, and priorities. This system allows each shuttle to move longitudinally and transversely, optimizing cargo flow and reducing times in high-performance automated storage operations.

Efficient operation of 2D shuttle

For specific operations, the 2D shuttle offers an efficient alternative for storing pallets in large volumes and with low SKU variety. It is ideal for high-turnover warehouses that require speed, control, and lower initial investment.

Applications

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What types of operations are best suited for Matador Shuttle Systems?

They are ideal for high-density bulk storage operations that need to maximize space, reduce forklift traffic, and improve pallet flow.

Semi-autonomous systems have a lower initial cost, while fully autonomous solutions require a larger investment but offer greater labor savings and a faster return on investment.

Shuttle systems offer higher storage density and scalability, often outperforming flow and push-back racking systems in long-term efficiency.
