The Pallet Runner™ system is especially advantageous in settings with high-volume loads and rapid turnover.

They not only speed up the handling process and cut labor costs but also offer remarkable flexibility, accommodating different inventory management styles to optimize warehouse operations.

Pallet Runner™ can be best described as;

  • Drive-in without driving in
  • Pushback, without pushing back
  • Pallet Flow, without pitch and gravity

Pallet Runner™ deep lane storage continues to provide our clients benefits over more conventional storage mediums – increasing utilization, in some cases, by up to 50%!

Pallet Runner™ is the simplest automation to design and integrate into a company’s day to day operations. It also provides a company a good introduction to warehouse automation.

Benefits of Pallet Runner™ Storage System

Reduction of aisles and providing deep lane storage maximizes storage capacity within the same footprint.

Pallet Runner™ moves quickly and seamlessly, improving the speed of loading and unloading pallets compared to traditional forklift operations.

The requirement of forklift drivers to move products into and out of the storage system, the Pallet Runner™ system reduces labor requirements and associated expenses.

Accidents are less common when automated movements are used than manual forklift operation.

Optional integration with the Automha warehouse management systems allows for precise tracking and inventory management.

Pallet Runner™ systems are typically more energy-efficient than manual alternatives.

Systems can be scaled up or reconfigured with relative ease to accommodate growth or changes in product lines.

A Pallet Runner™ system eliminates the need to drive into the storage system, greatly reducing contact with the storage system and reducing wear and tear and repair costs.

Pallet Runner™ can work in various conditions, including chilled and cold storage environments, without loss of efficiency.

Pallet Runner™ streamlines warehouse operations, allowing for faster turnover and reduced truck waiting times at loading docks.

Pallet Runner™ has several exclusive features including “Controlled Storage” feature allows the method of storage from FIFO to LIFO and vice versa, directly and instantly, from the intuitive handheld controller.

A Pallet Runner™ system should be considered for implementation when certain conditions or needs arise that align with the system’s strengths.

When to Implement a Pallet Runner™ Solution

When operations demand quick loading and unloading of goods, a Pallet Runner™ will significantly increase the speed of the operation.

Operations requiring efficient use of space, especially when dealing with a high volume of pallets with a low variety of SKUs (Stock Keeping Units), can benefit from the density a Pallet Runner™ provides.

If there is no available land and/or the cost is too high to expand, a Pallet Runner™ system can help optimize the use of existing space.

Pallet Runner™ provides even more immediate ROI in specially expensive environments, such as cold stores and chilled environments.

Pallet Runner™ will typically reduce the number of operators required to operate an area of the facility by 40%, highly beneficial in times when skilled, reliable manpower is in short supply.

Implementing a Pallet Runner™ system reduces the risk of accidents and damage to both the product and the storage system.

Pallet Runner™ systems are designed to be able to work 24/7 without concerns of operator fatigue or scheduling of shifts.

Businesses anticipating growth or seasonal spikes in inventory can leverage the scalability of a Pallet Runner™ system to adjust to increased demand without significant disruptions.

When accuracy in inventory management is critical, a Pallet Runner™ system can be integrated with warehouse management systems to ensure precise tracking and reporting.
