Vertical Storage Solutions - VLM (Vertical Lift Module)

The automated revolution in your warehouse: maximum storage with minimum floor space
The VLM system is an automated vertical warehouse based on a smart internal elevator. The system stores trays in a tall, enclosed structure and retrieves them for the operator at the push of a button. This method brings goods to the person (Goods-to-Person), saving valuable walking time and preventing picking errors.
