Das Schäfer Orbiter System: Areas of Application

  • The Schaefer Orbiter System can be operated in either FILO (First In Last Out) or FIFO (First In First Out) modes.

  • The Schaefer Orbiter System is used for storage of bulk material with high stock turnover.

  • The use of batteries in deep freeze areas can be problematic depending on the fill mass or duration of operation. Thanks to the innovative Power Cap Technology, the Orbiter System can be used in deep freeze areas without difficulty. Unlike current battery-powered systems, the immediate electric power supply at the racks assures a durable and safe operation without battery change.

  • No additional costs due to upgrade of your fork lifts: The Schaefer Orbiter system can be used with every conventional fork lift.

  • The Orbiter works in the shelves fully independently. The shuttle vehicle receives its commands via a remote control carried by the fork-lift driver.

  • The possible functions such as storage, retrieval, inventory, shuffle mode, etc. are triggered by the fork lift driver who carries out the command automatically and returns to the station after each procedure, where the device is charged within a few seconds for the next assignment.

  • The technical design of the Orbiter Shuttle with sprung side rollers for straight track running, as well as a variably adjustable distance control when storing pallets, adjustable via light sensor, provides careful treatment of the goods.
