Westfalia’s automated systems are not limited by depth, height or width. Westfalia's double mast storage/retrieval machine (S/RM) is designed to cover large horizontal and vertical distances reaching horizontal speeds of 900ft./min. and vertical speeds of 400ft./min.
Westfalia's Satellite® pallet handling technology can store pallets in lanes up to 18 positions deep on each side of the S/RM aisle. The Satellite’s design offers many benefits over and above telescoping shuttle designs, as the cantilevered design of the telescoping shuttles are subject to deflection.
Westfalia's Satellite® System Advantages:
- Uses a counter rotation principle to quickly and safely move pallets at a rate up to 120 pallets per hour per S/RM with gentle starts and stops
- Can transport loads in a variety of sizes and shapes while providing precision placement and retrieval of pallets within the racking structure, with constant spacing
- Handles various pallet types such as standard GMA, CHEP, 9-block or other custom pallets
- Ability to store pallets with either long or short side leading
- Can be lengthened or shortened to accommodate non-standard unit loads and designed to handle one or two pallets at a time
- Able to be designed for different aisle heights and widths
Our Savanna.NET® application controls all inventory management and order fulfillment tasks from product receipt to order shipment.

- layer or case picking

Better by design
Triple Rail Support
Westfalia's systems are better by design due to the ability to handle multiple pallet types thanks to our Satellite® technology and triple rail support.
"Choosing Westfalia allowed us to design our freezer around property we had available, while at the same time maximizing our pallet positions. Working with the Westfalia team was a great experience. Everyone we worked with are all true professionals."
