Global Reach, Local Impact: Spacemaker Expands into New Zealand and CeMAT Australia

April 21, 2025

Spacemaker’s international footprint continues to grow—this time reaching the Southern Hemisphere. A newly sold project in New Zealand, delivered via partner Capital Racking, brings the company’s proven 2D shuttle technology into a cold storage environment for a local logistics customer.

But that’s just the start of Spacemaker’s momentum in the APAC region.

Cold Storage Automation in New Zealand

This project includes 4 DualAxis Pro® shuttles operating in a cold storage facility, supporting high-density storage needs for an end user in New Zealand. Delivered through Capital Racking, a trusted regional integrator, this installation showcases the power of partner-led automation delivery.

The freezer-capable shuttle system was chosen for its proven resilience in sub-zero conditions and ability to maximize vertical storage within tight warehouse footprints.

CeMAT Australia: Live Shuttle Demo with Polypal

To further build its presence across the region, Spacemaker will exhibit at CeMAT Australia—the region’s premier logistics and supply chain exhibition.

In collaboration with Polypal, a leading racking solutions provider and part of the Whittan Group, Spacemaker will present a live shuttle system demonstration, highlighting the synergy between racking design and shuttle movement.

The showcase allows attendees to experience:

  • Real-time shuttle operation in ambient or chilled configurations  
  • HMI interface, software visibility, and automation control  
  • Application strategies for cold, ambient, and mixed-use warehouse layouts
The QuadAxis Pallet Shuttle — Spacemaker’s flagship 4-way system, now extending its reach into APAC markets through strategic deployments and demonstrations.

Scaling Responsively Through Strategic Partners

Whether through Capital Racking in New Zealand or Polypal/Whittan in APAC and Europe, Spacemaker’s partner-led model ensures:

  • Local expertise with global backing  
  • Seamless racking–shuttle integration  
  • End-to-end delivery and ongoing support  
  • Accelerated rollout with minimal technical risk

As automation demand increases across the Southern Hemisphere, Spacemaker is positioned to deliver with technical excellence and regional agility.
