OEM/ODM Pallet Runner Racking System for For Cold Storage

HEDA's OEM/ODM Pallet Runner Racking System offers a cutting-edge semi-automated storage solution designed specifically to thrive in challenging low-temperature conditions, significantly increasing storage density and streamlining your logistics.

Our Pallet Runner System utilizes an electrically powered shuttle (pallet runner) to move pallets within the racking lanes, allowing for deep-lane storage with minimal forklift movements. This revolutionary approach not only maximizes your warehouse footprint but also dramatically reduces energy consumption associated with heating/cooling by minimizing open aisle space and forklift run-time in cold zones.

As an OEM/ODM specialist, HEDA provides tailored solutions that perfectly integrate with your existing cold chain infrastructure and operational workflows. We work closely with you to design, manufacture, and implement a Pallet Runner system that meets your exact specifications and performance requirements for the most demanding cold storage applications.

• Maximized Storage Density: Achieves up to 80-90% space utilization compared to conventional racking, ideal for high-volume, low-SKU inventory in cold environments.

• Optimal for Cold Storage: Designed and built with materials and components specifically engineered to withstand extreme low temperatures (down to -30°C or lower as required), ensuring reliable operation and longevity.

• Semi-Automated Efficiency: Reduces reliance on manual forklift operation within lanes, leading to faster pallet movement, fewer errors, and improved safety in confined cold aisles.

• Reduced Energy Costs: Minimizes the need for heated forklift cabs and reduces the amount of cold air displacement, contributing to significant energy savings in refrigerated or freezer warehouses.

• Flexible Operation (FIFO/LIFO): Can be configured for both First-In, First-Out (FIFO) and Last-In, First-Out (LIFO) inventory management, providing versatility for various product types.

• Enhanced Safety: Decreased forklift travel within the racks minimizes the risk of rack damage and improves operator safety. The shuttle handles the heavy lifting inside the lanes.

• Scalable & Modular Design: Easily expandable and adaptable to future storage needs, allowing you to grow your capacity as your business evolves.

• Robust Construction: High-strength steel construction, specialized coatings, and precise engineering ensure durability and stability in harsh cold environments.

• OEM/ODM Customization: We offer complete customization from design and material selection to software integration, ensuring a perfect fit for your unique operational requirements and branding.

• Food Processing & Distribution: Frozen foods, dairy products, meat, seafood, fresh produce.
• Pharmaceutical & Medical: Vaccines, medicines, sensitive biological samples requiring strict temperature control.
• Chemical & Petrochemical: Certain chemicals requiring refrigerated storage.
• Beverage Industry: Large volumes of bottled or canned beverages in cold storage.
• E-commerce & Retail Logistics: Centralized cold storage hubs requiring rapid order fulfillment.
• 3PL & Logistics Providers: Offering high-density, flexible storage solutions to clients with cold chain requirements.
• Any facility requiring: High pallet throughput. Maximum space utilization. Reduced operational costs in cold environments. Semi-automated and safer pallet handling.

Q: How does the Pallet Runner System perform in cold storage environments?

A: Our Pallet Runner System for cold storage is specifically engineered with components, materials, and lubricants designed to operate reliably and efficiently in temperatures as low as -30°C (or lower, depending on customization). This ensures consistent performance and longevity in challenging cold chain applications.

Q: Is this system suitable for both FIFO and LIFO inventory management?

A: Yes, the Pallet Runner System can be configured for both FIFO (First-In, First-Out) and LIFO (Last-In, First-Out) operations. For FIFO, pallets are loaded from one side and unloaded from the other. For LIFO, loading and unloading occur from the same side.

Q: What are the main benefits of using a Pallet Runner System over traditional racking in cold storage?

A: The primary benefits include vastly increased storage density (up to 80-90% space utilization), reduced energy consumption in cold rooms (less open aisle space, less forklift run-time), improved operational efficiency, reduced rack damage, and enhanced safety.

Q: What kind of maintenance does the Pallet Runner require?

A: The pallet runner units require routine maintenance similar to other electromechanical equipment, including battery checks, sensor cleaning, and general inspection. HEDA provides comprehensive maintenance guidelines and can offer service contracts for optimal system performance.

Q: Can HEDA customize the Pallet Runner system to our specific warehouse dimensions and pallet sizes?

A: Absolutely. As an OEM/ODM provider, customization is our specialty. We will work with your team to design a Pallet Runner Racking System that perfectly matches your warehouse layout, height restrictions, pallet dimensions, load capacities, and specific operational needs.

Q: How is the system controlled?

A: The pallet runner units are typically controlled via a wireless remote control unit, allowing operators to send commands for loading, unloading, and moving pallets. For advanced integration, it can also interface with a Warehouse Management System (WMS) or Warehouse Control System (WCS).

Q: What is the typical lead time for an OEM/ODM Pallet Runner Racking System?

A: Lead times vary depending on the complexity, size, and customization required for your project. Please contact our sales team with your specific requirements, and we will provide a detailed timeline.
