Vertical Lift Modules (VLM)

A White brand Vertical Lift Module (VLM) is an automated storage and retrieval unit consisting of an elevator/extractor located between two sections of fabricated receivers inside a metal enclosure. A series of trays inserted in the front and rear receivers are used to store product. Tray locations are variable either by the user or automatically. When activated, the elevator/extractor automatically requests a tray from the rack to a workstation built into the front of the unit.

VLMs enable a relatively large quantity of inventory to be directed to a picker at one fixed location. By eliminating the climbing, reaching, and bending necessary to pick from multiple levels, VLMs produce a more efficient “parts to picker” instead of “picker to parts” workflow – increasing worker safety and productivity.

Leading companies use SencorpWhite VLMs to securely increase storage density, throughput, and material handling efficiency while reducing inventory losses and labor costs. White VLM’s efficiently deliver product to the operator, yield maximum utilization of floor space, secure high-value inventory, and retrieve anything from small parts to large fixtures and tools.
