SSI Schaefer Launches Satellite Solution for Material Handling

The Schaefer Orbiter System (SOS) uses a concept for storage and transporting the unit, which consists of the satellite with a docking station that increases efficiency and performance, as well as safety operation.

The orbiter and the docking station are designed for high density storage solutions using any material handling equipment. They are provided as a set, with lock-in pins safely securing the orbiter into the docking station; preventing accidental slippage. When the orbiter is required in a specific channel, the fork-lift picks up the docking station with the orbiter and locates it in the front centering console of the rack face.

Eliminating operator stress, the docking station is easy, safe and fast to use as fork pockets are fitted below the unit to avoid possible movement. Its location into the high visibility plastic guides, which provide up to 50mm operational clearance, can be operated at the same speed and safety as the location of pallets within the system, even when operating at heights of 9-10m.
