Where Innovation Moves: Inside Spacemaker’s UK Shuttle Demonstration Centre
Spacemaker’s expansion into the UK wasn’t just about opening an office—it was about creating a centre of excellence that brings automation to life. That’s exactly what the company has achieved with its Innovation Centre, located at Unit 2D, Eden Business Park, Dunns Close, Nuneaton, CV11 4NE.
This facility is led by Chris Hopkirk and his UK-based engineering and project delivery team.
Hands-On with Real Systems
Designed as a living lab, the Innovation Centre houses live DualAxis Pro® and QuadAxis Pro® pallet shuttle systems—demonstrating both two-way and four-way movement capabilities in high-density storage environments.
This setup allows:
- End users to visualize layouts and functionality in person
- Integrators to train on real shuttle systems and commissioning workflows
- Spacemaker to validate customer-specific applications through test runs
Built on Global Success, Ready for European Delivery
With over 80 installations completed in North America, Spacemaker has brought its automation pedigree to Europe—backed by local support, faster delivery times, and hands-on access to product and engineering resources.
The Centre acts as the technical testbed and partner launchpad for European deployments, including the UK’’s largest 4D shuttle project with Yusen Logistics and integrator Logistex.
