Transform Pallet Storage into Intelligent, High-Throughput Automation.
THUNDER™ Shuttle AGV is ArmorBionic’s next-generation shuttle robotics platform for high-density pallet storage, automated pallet movement, and intelligent warehouse optimization.
Built for High-Density Pallet Storage.
Warehouse space is expensive. Traditional pallet handling requires wide forklift aisles, manual operation, and inefficient layouts. THUNDER™ operates inside pallet rack channels to enable deep-lane storage and retrieval while reducing the need for forklifts to enter storage lanes.
Shuttle-Based Pallet Storage, Upgraded with Intelligence.
THUNDER™ moves along rail-guided storage channels to load, unload, position, and retrieve pallets with controlled motion and reliable repeatability. It can support semi-automated forklift workflows or fully automated AS/RS systems.
Industrial AGV Architecture for Dense Warehouses.
High-Density Storage Automation
Enable multiple-deep pallet storage, reduce wasted aisle space, and improve warehouse capacity without expanding the facility footprint.
Heavy Payload Capability
Designed to move palletized goods up to 2000 kg for demanding logistics and industrial operations.
AI Edge Intelligence
Local motion intelligence, smart pallet positioning, adaptive throughput optimization, predictive maintenance, and operational insights processed closer to the machine.
LIFO & FIFO Flexibility
Support dense buffer storage and inventory rotation strategies for food, pharmaceutical, logistics, and distribution environments.
WMS / WCS / AS/RS Integration
Connect shuttle movement with inventory systems, rack automation, transfer cars, pallet lifts, and centralized warehouse control.
Industrial & Cold Environment Capability
Robust battery options, rack-guided movement, and working temperature support from -30°C to 50°C for frozen storage, food logistics, and industrial warehouses.
From shuttle movement to smart pallet automation.
THUNDER™ can provide live data on shuttle status, pallet movement, lane activity, battery condition, system performance, and maintenance signals.
Flexible Automation Modes for Warehouse Strategies.
Semi-Automated Shuttle Operation
A forklift places THUNDER™ into the selected channel. The shuttle moves pallets inside the lane, reducing forklift travel inside deep rack spaces.
Fully Automated Storage System
Integrate with stacker cranes, transfer cars, pallet lifts, and warehouse control software for a fully automated high-density storage system.
LIFO Storage Flow
Ideal for dense storage where pallets are loaded and retrieved from the same side, maximizing storage efficiency for compatible inventory types.
FIFO Storage Flow
Ideal for buffer storage, transit warehouses, food, pharmaceutical, and inventory rotation requirements using opposite-side retrieval.
Applications Across High-Volume Pallet Operations.
Logistics & Distribution Centers
Improve pallet flow, increase storage density, reduce congestion, and support faster order fulfillment.
Food & Cold Storage
Support high-density pallet storage in temperature-controlled and frozen environments where space and reliability are critical.
Pharmaceutical Warehouses
Enable structured pallet movement, inventory control, and efficient storage for regulated logistics environments.
Manufacturing Warehouses
Automate pallet buffering between production, storage, and shipping areas to improve material flow.
Paper & Nondurable Goods
Support heavy pallet handling and high-volume storage for bulky inventory categories.
E-Commerce & Retail Distribution
Improve capacity and throughput for fast-moving palletized goods and high-demand logistics operations.

What is THUNDER™ Pallet Shuttle designed for?
THUNDER™ is designed for shuttle-based pallet storage systems in automatic storage systems with multiple-deep storage configurations. It helps increase storage capacity, goods-in/goods-out flow, and pallet handling efficiency.
How does the pallet shuttle system work?
An operator places the shuttle in the racking using a forklift and controls it via a tablet. The forklift loads pallets one by one at the lane entrance, and the shuttle moves along rails inside the storage channel to position pallets.
What storage flow modes are supported?
The catalog explains both LIFO, where pallets are put in and taken out from the same side, and FIFO, where incoming and outgoing operations are performed from opposite sides.
What pallet sizes are supported?
The listed pallet sizes are 800 × 1200 mm, 1000 × 1200 mm, and 1200 × 1200 mm.
What is the maximum pallet load?
The datasheet lists pallet load up to 2000 kg, assuming goods are correctly accommodated on stable pallets for flawless transportation.
What are the speed values?
The listed Pallet Shuttle speed is up to 2.0 m/s loaded and 2.5 m/s unloaded. The Autonomous Satellite Vehicle is listed up to 0.8 m/s loaded and 1.0 m/s unloaded.
Can THUNDER™ operate in cold or frozen environments?
Yes. The datasheet lists a working temperature range from -30°C to 50°C and includes frozen environments among target industries.
Can the system become fully automated?
Yes. The catalog states that the system is also available in a fully automated version featuring either stacker cranes or transfer cars.
Which industries are listed for THUNDER™?
The datasheet lists the food industry, frozen environments, pharmaceutical industry, nondurable paper industry, and logistics.
