2‑pole Conductor Rail System PR2
2‑pole conductor rail system for shuttle systems
Reliability is the core of the new PR2 conductor bar system, developed to meet the growing demand for compact conductor bar solutions. Leading manufacturers of shuttle systems require specific solutions to ensure compact, touch‑safe integration at high speeds with consistent contact pressure.
To meet these requirements, the PR2 uses a wheel guided and spring supported current collector that enables fast and efficient material transport while ensuring stable power transfer. This supports intensive usage cycles and delivers maximum uptime in demanding intralogistics operations.
Key Features of the PR2
The PR2 system builds on the strengths of our open conductor bar portfolio, offering flexible configurations that can be adapted to any shuttle track layout. For PR2, this includes the use of specially designed funnels that ensure precise collector alignment during transitions between paths, supporting reliable operation in multi‑directional shuttle layouts.

Continuous copper conductors 'AKAPP LongLife'
Reliability and low lifecycle maintenance costs form the core of AKAPP’s conductor bar systems, engineered with the ‘AKAPP LongLife‘ technology based on continuous copper conductors.
The continuous conductor design minimizes electrical resistance transitions and eliminates mechanical discontinuities that typically cause heat generation, wear, and contact degradation. As a result, users benefit from exceptionally low wear on collector trolleys, reduced preventive maintenance requirements,and ultimate reliability for maximized operational uptime of their equipment.
Uninterupted, flat continuous copper conductors
No mechanical joints in conductors, high travel speed
High wear resistance, long carbon brush life
Low noise, smooth operation

Shuttle Systems
Shuttle systems are the driving force behind modern intralogistics. They deliver ultra-fast storage and order picking, maximize space utilization, and offer a flexible, scalable design that grows with your business. With high reliability and 24/7 availability, shuttles ensure a continuous and efficient material flow—ideal for e-commerce, production environments, and fulfillment operations that demand top performance.
As shuttles become faster, lighter, and more compact, the new AKAPP PR2 conductor bar system provides a highly efficient, low-profile power supply that perfectly meets the requirements of next-generation shuttle technology.
Mini-load ‘Light’ Cranes
Mini-load ‘light’ cranes play a vital role in modern intralogistics, enabling fast and automated storage and retrieval of small parts with outstanding precision and space efficiency. As these machines become faster, more compact, and significantly lighter, the need for equally efficient and lightweight power supply solutions continues to rise.
AKAPP’s 2-pole PR2 conductor bar system supports these developments with a compact and reliable power supply specifically suited to new-generation mini-load cranes. Its slim profile integrates seamlessly into narrow crane structures, ensuring stable and efficient power transmission.
Transfer Cars
Transfer cars play an important role in modern intralogistics, enabling fast and reliable cross-aisle transport to keep material flows running efficiently. As these vehicles become increasingly compact and lightweight, a smart, low-profile power supply is essential.
Because transfer cars operate with frequent starts, stops, and lateral movements, a conductor bar system such as PR2 offers a stable and space-efficient power supply that supports continuous operation. Its compact profile ensures reliable power transmission even in installations with very limited mounting space.
When additional IP protection is required, we recommend using Akapp Multiconductor systems.
