Truck Shuttle CAPtriever Lift
Innovative pallet shuttle system with integrated vertical lift
High-density pallet storage solution for automated silo warehouses
The CAPtriever Lift expands SMB’s proven Truck Shuttle system with an integrated vertical lift, enabling an exceptionally compact, high-performance, and cost-efficient storage solution for high-density pallet warehouses in silo construction.e.
This innovative storage and retrieval unit combines three functions in a single system:
- horizontal pallet transport along the main aisle of a dual-level storage zone
- vertical pallet movement between the two storage levels
- automated storage and retrieval within the rack structure using a cable-free, battery-free shuttle
Due to the integrated pallet lift, one Truck Shuttle can serve two levels without requiring additional transfer stations. This significantly reduces the number of operating vehicles within the automated warehouse while enabling storage capacities of up to 100,000 pallet positions.
We would be pleased to provide tailored engineering support for cycle time calculations, preliminary structural design, and the development of a detailed system concept.

High throughput with reduced system complexity
The CAPtriever Lift from SMB is an exceptionally efficient solution for applications with moderate throughput requirements. By serving two storage levels with a single SMB Truck Shuttle Lift, both investment and operating costs can be significantly reduced. The integrated lifting function unlocks additional efficiency benefits. For example, a channel warehouse originally designed with 18 individual levels can be optimized to just 9 double levels while maintaining high storage density and efficient goods flow.
Intelligent control and system integration
The Truck Shuttle CAPtriever Lift is fully integrated into the overall warehouse automation environment and operates on state-of-the-art control technology. All vehicle movements are centrally coordinated by the Warehouse Management and Control System (WMS/MFC), optimizing travel routes, throughput performance, energy consumption, and system utilization. Standardized interfaces ensure seamless integration with higher-level warehouse execution, warehouse management, and production systems. The CAPtriever Lift is also fully compatible with the SMB Compact Storage System.
