VLM Vertical Lift Machines Single Column, Multiple Column for automated storage-retrieval systems, vertical storage of goods, automotive spares, mechanical spares, electrical-electronics spares, electromechanical parts-spares-WIP, etc stored loose or in boxes-bins on metal trays
VLM Vertical Lift Machines Vertical Storage Towers, vertical storage cabinets for on metal trays
Vertical Lift Machines Vertical Storage Towers store goods on trays on racks in front and rear with a lift moving up-down in the centre with automated storage-retrieval of trays over the racks
VLM is a high density automated vertical storage solution for slow-medium mover goods that bring goods-to-person at an ergonomic height for high throughput order picking in just a few steps
VLM uses vertical space for high density storage of goods in small footprint. Fully enclosed lockable goods storage protects goods against damage, dirt, theft, unauthorized access
VLM standard widths 1500 mm to 4500 mm. depths 2100 to 3000mm. VLM height starts at 2400 mm and can go up to 29000 mm
VLM Tray payload capacities range from 275 kgs/ 450 kgs/ 900 kgs. Tray storing goods widths 1200 mm to 3900 mm, tray depths 800 mm to 1200 mm, maximum product height 600 mm. Size and weight of items stored, frequency of product mix changes is crucial
VLM can achieve high throughout rates from 150 items/hour to 350 items/hour. Output depends on many factor – application, size of goods, nature of SKUs
And Single Order / Multi Order / Batch Picking with pick to light/ put to light devices and supporting goods handling-conveying system
By knowing inventory turn-around rates for fast-medium-slow movers, seasonal items; items with highest pick frequency can be stored closest to access window to reduce tray retrieval them. Slotting – keeping fast movers and co-picked items on same level and near access window also helps faster picking
Optional height sensors measure job height in each storage tray. Allowing trays to be stored with 25mm vertical height between them to maximize storage density
