• Versatile Application & Integration: Supports a variety of warehouse tasks, from receiving and replenishment to picking and shipping, while seamlessly integrating with Muratec’s automation solutions.

The Double Reach Shuttle is designed for industries such as e-commerce, retail distribution, wholesale, and manufacturing, where maximizing space utilization and improving operational efficiency are critical. The system ensures faster order fulfillment and enhanced inventory accuracy by integrating high-speed shuttle movement with vertical conveyor capabilities, reducing labor-intensive processes and operational costs.

Muratec USA’s North American debut of the Double Reach Shuttle at ProMat 2025 follows multiple successful implementations across various industries, from e-commerce and supermarkets to warehousing and manufacturing.
