Automated pallet storage and retrieval

Satellite carts run along rails in high density storage racks to store and retrieve pallets. They do this by shunting full pallet loads in and out of the storage structure.

The satellite is manually placed in the designated rack position by a forklift, after which the cart operates automatically. Sensors along the storage channel determine where it must stop, deposit or retrieve the load and return.

This leaves forklift operators free to focus on bringing pallet loads to and from the racking face.

Satellites are ideal for applications with low SKU where there is a high movement rate of pallets. They can be configured for FIFO (first-in/first-out) or LIFO (last-in/first-out) operation.

Dexion’s Compactor is an advanced satellite system that brings greater efficiency to multi-deep pallet handling in a high density environment.
