Shuttle Charging System

High-throughput shuttle warehouses rely on fast, precise energy replenishment to maintain maximum system availability. Modern shuttle vehicles equipped with high-performance battery systems or ultracapacitors increasingly use selective charging strategies to minimize downtime and optimize cycle times.

The VAHLE Shuttle Charging System (SLS) is a rail-integrated, contact-based charging solution specifically developed for automated shuttle systems in AS/RS environments. Its ultra-compact charging contacts can be seamlessly integrated into the shuttle rail, minimizing installation space while maintaining high performance.

The system supports charging currents of up to 140 Amps at 48 Volts, enabling rapid energy transfer during short dwell times. This selective charging approach optimizes battery and vehicle efficiency in high-cycle shuttle systems. Charging positions can be installed at aisle ends, within storage lanes or configured as extended charging sections several meters in length for in-motion energy transfer.

Thanks to its modular design, charging length and position can be flexibly adapted to individual warehouse layouts. Wear-resistant overrun elements and durable contact materials ensure reliable operation in high-cycle intralogistics environments.

The Shuttle Charging System is UL-certified and engineered for long-term use in automated warehouse systems.
