Shuttle racking is one of the most effective high density racking solutions on the market today, and is seeing growing interest from the whisky sector as storage space and picking speeds become more of an issue.

Its ability to deliver incredible levels of capacity within a comparatively small footprint makes it a highly powerful solution, particularly for both finished and dry goods.

Having pioneered the first shuttle racking system in Scotland and being responsible for designing and delivering the UK’s largest shuttle racking system, we have extensive experience in designing and delivering effective shuttle racking solutions.

Our AUTOSHUTTLE solution combines design excellence with innovative engineering with a shuttle that is designed to work exclusively on the racking system with minimal integration.

We also provide full support and aftersales from our headquarters in Scotland to ensure a rapid response to any issues, servicing requirements or maintenance.

Our AUTOSHUTTLE approach delivers massive operational benefits and efficiencies, including:

Thistle Systems has pioneered semi-automated shuttle racking, designing and installing the first system in Scotland and one of the largest shuttle racking systems in the UK.

With a growing portfolio of shuttle racking projects in the whisky sector, we are leading the way with our thorough understanding of the unique demands, the challenges being faced and the growth in SKUs for new markets or expressions.

And with our evolutionary pathway to automation, we can design forward-thinking solutions which allow companies to move from static racking to semi-automated and even fully automated solutions.
