Precision-manufactured in factory-direct facilities using high-yield European standard structural steel. Designed to handle standardized EPAL 1 (1200×800 mm) and industrial pallets with high operational reliability.
Positioned at the geographical center of European trade, the Czech Republic functions as the vital terrestrial bridge linking Western European consumer markets with Central and Eastern European industrial production belts.
The Czech Republic consistently maintains one of the lowest unemployment rates in the European Union (frequently below 3.8%). In primary warehousing regions such as Central Bohemia, Plzeň, and South Moravia, finding licensed reach-truck drivers is a continuous challenge. Our automated radio shuttle eliminates the need for lift trucks to enter deep storage tunnels, reducing the required forklift operators per shift by up to 65% while keeping overall pallet movement steady.
Industrial lease costs across key parks (Prague Ring Road, D1 corridor, CTPark networks, and VGP Parks) have risen over recent cycles. Converting traditional selective racking aisles into semi-automated, deep-lane shuttle tunnels increases cubic volumetric capacity from 45% up to 85%. This allows logistics directors to double their pallet locations within their existing building footprint without paying for additional real estate expansion.
With electricity prices requiring careful management in European operations, refrigerated and deep-freeze logistics (-20°C to -30°C) cannot afford to waste energy cooling empty access aisles. Shuttle systems compact inventory tightly, drastically cutting the thermal volume per stored pallet. This significantly lowers operating costs for food distributors, dairy processors, and frozen baked goods suppliers throughout the Czech Republic.

| Storage Topology | Cubic Density | Operational Principle | Forklift Damage Risk | Operator Count | ČSN EN 15512 Safety Factor |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Radio Shuttle System | Ultra-High (80–88%) | Dynamic FIFO / FILO selectable | Minimal (Outside lane) | 1–2 operators per 5,000 pallets | Full structural verification |
| Drive-In Racking | High (65–75%) | Strict FILO (Last-In, First-Out) | High (Truck inside rack) | 3–5 operators per 5,000 pallets | Subject to frame impacts |
| Selective Pallet Racking | Low (40–48%) | 100% immediate selectivity | Moderate (Constant aisle entry) | 5–8 operators per 5,000 pallets | Standard European code |
| AS/RS Stacker Crane Shuttle | Maximum (85–92%) | Fully autonomous 24/7 cycles | Zero (Unmanned system) | Supervisory control only | EN 528 / ČSN structural design |
Our engineering teams design and install racking configurations tailored to the specific operating needs of regional supply chains across the Czech Republic.
In regions like Mladá Boleslav, Kvasiny, Kolín, and Ostrava-Mošnov, automotive suppliers work with tight JIT (Just-In-Time) and JIS (Just-In-Sequence) production windows. Our radio shuttles move heavy metal gitterboxes and specialized palletized components to staging docks rapidly, supporting high inventory turns with zero handling damage.
Around the Prague Logistics Ring (Jeneč, Jažlovice, Zdiby) and cross-border distribution centers near Plzeň and Bor u Tachova serving Germany, e-commerce retailers face extreme promotional volume surges. Shuttle systems buffer high-turn SKU pallets ahead of picking lines, providing quick restocking during peak shopping seasons.
From world-renowned breweries in Plzeň, České Budějovice, and Nošovice to major agricultural processors in Moravia, beverage pallet storage demands heavy capacity. Shuttle racking supports high unit loads (1,000–1,500 kg per pallet position) with structural safety factors verified under European standard EN 15512.
Concentrated pharmaceutical operations near Brno and Pardubice require strict batch traceability and temperature control. Operating in FIFO mode, our shuttle systems ensure that pallets move in exact first-in, first-out sequence, preventing expired products and integrating smoothly with validated warehouse management systems.
Key shifts over the next five years that are guiding industrial engineering decisions across Czech warehousing developments.
Czech facilities are transitioning from manual forklift pallet transfer to combined systems. Automated guided vehicles (AGVs) and heavy-payload AMRs now deposit pallets directly onto the P&D (Pick and Deposit) consoles of shuttle bays. This creates a continuous, lights-out pallet transport loop from manufacturing lines to high-bay storage.
Institutional developers (such as CTP, Prologis, P3, and Panattoni) design Czech logistics parks to meet high sustainability ratings. By eliminating drive-in forklift emissions within storage tunnels and using efficient LiFePO4 batteries, automated shuttles reduce carbon output and help facilities qualify for international green building certifications.
Czech logistics operations rely on established ERP and WMS environments. Modern shuttle carrier fleets feature open industrial communication protocols (over robust Wi-Fi or 5G private campus networks). This enables real-time pallet location tracking, battery telemetry, and cycle counters on enterprise management dashboards.
As an industrial manufacturer with dedicated production lines, our structural and mechanical systems are built to meet rigorous European standards. We combine specialized roll-forming capabilities with robotics engineering to deliver reliable, long-lasting storage installations:
Uprights, omega profile rails, and load beams are roll-formed from high-yield structural steel coils (Q355/S355 equivalent), fully tested for yield and tensile strength with comprehensive 3.1 mill test certificates.
Every automated shuttle carrier carries the CE mark, verified under European Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, EMC Directive 2014/30/EU, and Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU, with complete safety documentation.
Finite element method (FEM) structural static calculations are tailored to site soil conditions and local building codes, including seismic verification under ČSN EN 16681 and static design to ČSN EN 15512.
