Miniload shuttle

Increased throughput, optimum use of space and reduced operating costs – the miniload shuttle is a high-performance automation solution for the space-saving storage and picking of small parts.

The shuttle system fulfils its true potential where performance requirements are high: the number of shuttles can vary so it's easy to add extra ones at peak times. Your high-performance warehouse can therefore be optimised to suit your individual needs as your requirements change.

Application areas

Storage and order picking of containers, boxes and trays
Various areas within fulfilment logistics
Applications with high throughput volumes
Normal temperature conditions and deep-freeze areas down to -30 °C
Also suitable for extreme conditions, e.g. in earthquake zones

Frequently asked questions from customers

What is a miniload shuttle?

A miniload shuttle is an automatic warehouse system used primarily where performance requirements are high, employing maximum storage density for optimum space utilisation. The miniload shuttle offers customers countless configurations in the storage and order picking of containers, boxes and trays, as well as long-term operational reliability and maximum system availability.

What are the advantages of a miniload shuttle?

The miniload shuttle is designed to meet high performance requirements where space is at a premium. It enables continuous material flow 365 days a year and prevents the errors that can occur within manual warehouse management. The miniload shuttle also offers flexible scalability, as it is possible to reduce or add to the number of shuttle vehicles.

For which warehouse types is the miniload shuttle suitable?

The miniload shuttle is used most of all in automated small-parts warehouses with high performance requirements, as well as in order-picking or supply warehouses involving high throughput volumes within small surface areas. As well as warehouses with normal temperature ranges, the shuttle systems can be used in cold stores with temperatures as low as -30 degrees.

Will a miniload shuttle integrate seamlessly into my IT infrastructure?

The interaction between the warehouse management system and the Jungheinrich WCS enables seamless integration into existing IT infrastructures. The software systems coordinate the transport orders and transfer the movement instructions to the shuttle system.

How sustainable is a miniload shuttle?

With functions such as smart kinematics, an energy-saving mode and SuperCaps, the miniload shuttle is extremely efficient. The SuperCaps convert braking energy into power. Any excess energy not needed by the system is fed back into the grid. The amount of energy recovered can be as much as 50 %. Peak shaving reduces the maximum load requirement and transformer size by 35 % to save both energy and money.

How we automate your warehouse in three steps

1. Planning & development

In addition to identifying requirements, professional material flow consulting, system visualisations, and rough and detailed planning form the basis for determining the optimum degree of automation for your future-proof warehouse environment.

Maximum performance, minimal space: the miniload shuttle

Would you like to boost the efficiency of your fully automated small-parts logistics? Then a miniload high-performance warehouse is for you. Our high-performance shuttle warehouse solutions provide you with the latest equipment for transporting containers, boxes and trays. Shuttle systems are ideal for meeting high performance requirements and work in parallel for a significant boost in goods throughput. The modular design allows the miniload shuttle to grow in line with requirements and enables flexible adjustment to current conditions.

Maximum availability with minimum energy consumption

With the ability to run 365 days a year, our miniload shuttle system delivers maximum productivity while ensuring the efficient use of your resources. The miniload comes with SuperCaps, which store the energy that is released during braking and feed it back into the power train during acceleration. You therefore save energy on every transport run, minimise your operating costs and also reduce your carbon footprint. As a system provider, we are happy to advise you on choosing the right components for your automated shuttle warehouse system.
