Explore our heavy-duty engineering solutions built in-house for logistics hubs, distribution warehouses, and multi-tier picking facilities across Israel and international markets.
The Israeli logistics sector operates under extreme structural constraints: soaring commercial real estate land lease prices in central industrial zones (Gush Dan, Modi'in, Shoham, Emek Hefer), combined with high labor costs and strict municipal development footprints. For warehouse operators handling fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG), pharmaceuticals, and temperature-controlled food supplies, traditional selective or drive-in racking no longer delivers an acceptable return on investment (ROI).
Custom OEM Radio Shuttle Racking represents the pinnacle of semi-automated, high-density storage technology. By decoupling the forklift from internal channel travel, an intelligent battery-powered pallet runner traverses dedicated galvanized running rails inside deep storage lanes. This mechanical separation eliminates forklift collisions with racking uprights, shrinks required operating aisles from 3.5 meters down to clearance widths under 2.8 meters, and increases volumetric cubic capacity by up to 85% compared to static selective racking.
Fabricated using prime cold-rolled Q355B and European standard S355JR high-yield structural steel, engineered to exceed European Racking Federation (FEM 10.2.02) and EN 15512 static design parameters.
Our custom OEM shuttle racking integration relies on tightly toleranced cold-formed modules designed for frictionless automation:
Designing racking systems for deployment in Israel requires deep familiarity with local building regulations, geological fault line considerations, and maritime atmospheric exposure.
Israel is situated along the Dead Sea Transform (Syro-African Rift), creating active seismic zones in the Jordan Valley, Galilee, and southern regions. Our shuttle racking structures incorporate seismic baseplates, high-ductility anchor bolts (Grade 8.8 M16/M20), and heavy-gauge diagonal portal bracing engineered to absorb dynamic horizontal ground acceleration without catastrophic structural buckling.
Warehouses situated around the Ashdod Port hinterland, Haifa Industrial Zone, and coastal plains face intense airborne marine chlorides and seasonal humidity. We offer hot-dip galvanization conforming to ISO 1461 alongside thermosetting electrostatic epoxy-polyester powder finishes (80–120μm dry film thickness), preventing pitting and surface oxidation over decades of heavy service.
Israeli supply chains frequently mix standard Euro-pallets (1200 x 800 mm) with wide Israeli/Industrial pallets (1200 x 1000 mm and 1200 x 1200 mm). Our custom OEM guide rails feature dual-profile seating shoulders, allowing identical shuttle carts to operate flawlessly across mixed pallet types within the same warehouse installation without manual adjustment.
Comparing high-density storage methodologies reveals why radio shuttle racking offers the optimal balance between initial capital outlay, operational throughput, and structural durability.

| Capital Outlay / Payback in Israel | 14 – 22 Months Typical ROI | Low initial / High maintenance | Lowest initial / High land rent | High CAPEX (5–7 Year Payback) |
With more than 20 years of warehouse storage engineering experience, our factory operates fully integrated, in-house production lines that guarantee micro-millimeter tolerance control from coil intake to finished assembly.
Custom 18-station cold roll-forming lines produce continuous upright column lengths up to 14 meters without intermediate welding splices, maximizing dynamic structural stability.
Automated punch presses maintain a consistent 50mm or 75mm hole pitch with ±0.2mm repeatability, ensuring beam connectors seat securely with zero assembly play or binding.
Structural beam end-connectors undergo multi-axis robotic CO2 shielded welding conforming to ISO 3834-2 and EN 1090-2 execution class standards for guaranteed load safety.
Every shipment bound for Ashdod or Haifa ports is packed in reinforced seaworthy bundles with edge protectors, waterproof wrapping, and CAD assembly maps for rapid local site erection.
Rapid demographic growth and high e-commerce volume have spurred major distribution hubs along Route 6 (Trans-Israel Highway), Shoham, Kiryat Gat, and Caesarea. Here is how custom OEM shuttle automation empowers these modern operations.
With electricity costs and refrigerated cubic meters commanding premium lease rates, major food distributors in Beer Tuvia and Emek Hefer deploy shuttle racking inside -25°C blast-freezers to compress storage density and reduce thermal air dissipation.
National retail chains require rapid buffering between bulk sea container arrivals and individual store dispatch. Shuttle racking provides automated pallet batch staging, dramatically reducing forklift travel distances and boosting outbound dispatch rates.
Fully compliant with Good Distribution Practice (GDP) standards, electric radio shuttles produce zero tailpipe emissions, hydraulic fluid drips, or dust churning, making them ideal for temperature-sensitive pharmaceutical distribution facilities.
Clear, direct engineering answers regarding standards compliance, customs handling, installation support, and operational maintenance for Israeli project engineers and warehouse managers.
Every shuttle racking project for Israel is mathematically validated using finite element calculation models according to SI 413 and Eurocode 8 (EN 16681). We determine exact baseplate dimensions, anchor bolt shear ratings, and column cross-bracing layouts according to your site's specific ground acceleration coefficient (PGA), whether located in Haifa, Tel Aviv, or high-risk zones along the Jordan Rift Valley.
Components are precision-bundled in standard 20-foot and 40-foot High-Cube maritime containers. We supply complete commercial documentation, packing lists, mill test certificates (EN 10204 3.1), and Certificate of Origin (COO) for seamless customs clearance through Israeli customs authorities at Ashdod or Haifa ports.
Yes. Our custom OEM guide rail profile is cold-rolled with dual asymmetric guidance shoulders. This geometry centers standard Euro-pallets (1200 x 800 mm) as well as wider Israeli standard pallets (1200 x 1000 mm) with up to 1,500 kg payload capacity without requiring mechanical adjustment or shuttle cart recalibration.
Cold-chain units are equipped with premium Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) battery packs featuring internal thermostatic heating systems. The intelligent Battery Management System (BMS) maintains core cell temperatures during continuous 8-to-10 hour operational shifts, preventing cryogenic capacity degradation.
We provide comprehensive installation manuals, CAD anchor point diagrams, and step-by-step structural erection blueprints. Additionally, we can dispatch senior commissioning engineers to oversee assembly, verify laser transit rail leveling, and train local warehouse personnel on handheld RF controller operations.
Because all roll-forming, auto-punching, welding, and surface coating processes are performed in-house, manufacturing typically spans 4 to 6 weeks depending on project tonnage. Maritime container transit to Ashdod or Haifa ports generally requires 14 to 22 sailing days, providing industry-leading project agility.
