HEGERLS Strengthens Its Position as a Leading Automated Shuttle System Manufacturer Driving the Future of Smart Warehousing
Classification:
Enterprise News
Release time:
2025-12-03
As global supply chains accelerate their shift toward automation, warehouse operators are searching for solutions that deliver higher throughput, flexible storage density, and steady operational performance. Automated shuttle technology — especially multi-directional and high-speed pallet shuttles — has now become the centerpiece of modern smart warehousing.
To meet this industry trend, HEGERLS, a recognized Automated Shuttle System Manufacturer, has announced major technology upgrades and new system deployment cases worldwide. With increasing demand from e-commerce, manufacturing, cold chain, and 3PL sectors, the company is expanding its production capabilities, enhancing system intelligence, and delivering fully integrated shuttle-powered storage systems.
Why Automated Shuttle Systems Are Reshaping the Warehousing Landscape
Traditional forklift operations face limitations in space utilization, labor efficiency, and safety. As warehouses scale vertically and SKU variety increases, businesses are turning to automated shuttles to optimize pallet movement.
Key drivers behind global adoption:
- Labor shortages push operators to replace repetitive manual handling with automation.
- Rising land and rental costs force warehouses to maximize cubic utilization.
- Demand for 24/7 throughput requires continuous, predictable pallet flow.
- E-commerce growth challenges warehouses to shorten picking and replenishment cycles.
- Safety concerns encourage facilities to reduce forklift traffic and human-machine overlap.
Automated shuttle systems — including four-way shuttles, two-way shuttles, multi-level shuttle carriers, and deep-lane shuttles — provide a scalable, efficient, and cost-effective solution.
HEGERLS: A Global Automated Shuttle System Manufacturer with Proven Engineering Strength
HEGERLS is one of the few manufacturers capable of providing end-to-end automated shuttle system solutions, including:
- Shuttle hardware manufacturing
- Control system development (WCS/WMS)
- Integrated racking system engineering
- High-density storage design
- On-site installation and commissioning
- Global after-sales and spare parts support
This vertical integration ensures consistency, reliability, and rapid deployment — a major advantage compared with suppliers relying on third-party components.
Core Technologies Behind HEGERLS Automated Shuttle Systems
1. Intelligent Navigation & Four-Way Mobility
The latest HEGERLS four-way shuttle can move forward, backward, left, and right, enabling flexible access in multi-directional high-density racking. This eliminates the need for dedicated aisles while allowing seamless lane switching.
2. High-Speed Pallet Transport
With optimized drive motors and motion algorithms, the system achieves:
- Faster lane travel
- Higher acceleration curves
- Reduced cycle times
This results in 30–50% higher throughput than traditional two-way shuttles.
3. Advanced Safety Features
Each shuttle is equipped with:
- Obstacle detection sensors
- Fire-safety switching logic
- Anti-slip traction control
- Auto-stop emergency braking
- Overload and temperature protection
These features ensure stable performance even in demanding environments.
4. Integrated WMS & WCS for Real-Time Coordination
HEGERLS software coordinates:
- Shuttle scheduling
- Lift platform movement
- Pallet entry and retrieval
- Task prioritization
- Inventory accuracy control
This creates a fully synchronized smart warehouse ecosystem.
5. Multi-Environment Adaptability
HEGERLS shuttle systems can operate in:
- Cold storage down to -40°C
- Dusty industrial facilities
- High-temperature manufacturing warehouses
- Seismic-protection environments
- Heavy-duty pallet storage scenarios
New Global Project Highlights HEGERLS Manufacturing Capabilities
