New stingray shuttle from tgw takes off

New from high performance miniload AS/R equipment specialist, TGW, the Stingray shuttle is intended for highly dynamic storage and buffer applications.

"Shuttles are the perfect solution for highly dynamic applications such as supply systems for workplaces with a performance of up to 1000 picks per hour, buffer warehouses or sequenced delivery of goods," explains Rudolf Hansl, MD of TGW Logistics Group.

Shuttle solutions can be implemented in a vast array of industries, from store replenishment for retailers and/or production and shipping buffers to order picking systems for online retailers, making them the ideal supplement to miniload AS/R systems that are typically used where high storage capacity is required.

As the travel and lift axis are functionally separated, the Stingray is claimed to provide a higher throughput performance than most stacker cranes.
