2D Pallet Shuttle System

Rainbow Dynamics’ 2D Pallet Shuttle System is an innovative, semi-automatic solution designed to revolutionize pallet storage and retrieval operations. This intelligent system offers a perfect balance of low investment costs and significant space utilization improvements, potentially doubling storage density within the same footprint.

Key Features and Benefits

Impressive Reach and Depth

The 2D shuttle solution can operate at heights of up to 10 meters (30 feet) and navigate aisles as deep as 40 meters (120 feet) in a single aisle. This exceptional reach maximizes vertical and horizontal space utilization, allowing businesses to store more inventory in their existing warehouse footprint.

Flexible Control Options

The system employs a combination of radio-embedded remote control and software control, enabling intelligent operations such as Continuous Outbound Operation (COO). This dual-control approach provides operators with both manual flexibility and automated efficiency.

Fast ROI

With little investment, the 2D pallet shuttle system significantly improves pallet storage density (potentially 2x), while increasing operator efficiency, safety and accuracy.

Compatible with Major Forklift Brands

The 2D shuttle works seamlessly with forklifts from popular manufacturers like Linde, Toyota, and Jungheinrich, ensuring easy integration into existing warehouse operations.

Versatile Storage and Retrieval Modes

The system offers multiple operational modes to suit various inventory management needs:


  1. First In, First Out (FIFO): Ideal for managing perishable goods or date-sensitive inventory.

  2. Last In, First Out (LIFO): Suitable for high-density storage of non-perishable items.

  3. Inventory Mode: Enables automatic counting and tracking of stored goods.

  4. Tally Mode: Automatically reorganizes partially retrieved inventory for optimal space utilization.

Advanced Remote-Control Functionality

The remote-control unit offers features such as shuttle scanning, locating, and multiple inbound/outbound modes, providing operators with precise control and operational flexibility.

Robust Design and Safety Features

The shuttle incorporates various sensors, safety devices, and a PLC control system to ensure reliable and safe operation. It’s designed to handle loads up to 1500 kg, depending on the model.

Cold Storage Capability

A specialized version of the shuttle is available for cold storage environments, with features designed to maintain performance in temperatures as low as -25°C

Easy Maintenance and Remote Diagnostics

The system includes features for daily cleaning, inspection, and semi-annual maintenance plans. Additionally, remote online services allow for distant monitoring, fault detection, and software updates, minimizing downtime and maintenance costs.


Rainbow Dynamics’ 2D Pallet Shuttle System represents a significant advancement in warehouse automation technology. By combining space efficiency, operational flexibility, and intelligent control, this solution offers businesses a powerful tool to optimize their storage and retrieval processes. Whether dealing with high-volume inventory, cold storage requirements, or complex stock rotation needs, the 2D Pallet Shuttle System provides a versatile and scalable solution to meet the demands of modern warehouse management.
