Abstract

An automated small parts shuttle racking system includes a multitude of rows of racks, between which one or more aisles are provided. The aisle is adapted to have a shuttle propelling in a horizontal propelling direction. The racks include uprights, and the system further has more than one horizontal tracks and one or more vertical tracks. One or more of the vertical tracks is detachably connected to at least one upright, and is independently adjustable in view of the at least one upright; and the vertical tracks have at least a first and a second, mutually opposite wall. The first wall is adapted to enable the vertical propelling of a shuttle along the first wall. The first and second walls are adapted to receive pressure from the shuttle while vertically propelling, and are adapted to guide the shuttle while vertically propelling.
