Vertical Lift Modules

Vertical Lift Modules are compact, semi-automated storage systems designed to maximize warehouse capacity by taking full advantage of available vertical space. This solution stores inventory on a series of trays within an enclosed vertical structure. Using the goods-to-person principle, the system automatically retrieves the requested tray and delivers it directly to the operator, reducing walking, searching, bending, and reaching.

This automated storage system provides exceptional versatility and can be configured for a wide variety of products and applications. Each tray can store bins, cartons, tools, spare parts, components, long items, or other materials based on the needs of the operation. The SSI LOGIMAT® can operate as a stand-alone system or connect with warehouse management and ERP software to improve inventory visibility, picking accuracy, and order processing.

Vertical Lift Modules are ideal for businesses looking to increase storage density, improve picking efficiency, and create a safer, more ergonomic workplace. Their enclosed design also helps protect inventory from dust, dirt, damage, and unauthorized access. VLMs can be used in industrial facilities, manufacturing operations, automotive warehouses, e-commerce fulfillment centers, healthcare facilities, retail distribution centers, and many other environments.

How Vertical Lift Module Works

VLMs use the facility’s vertical space efficiently by dynamically positioning storage trays according to the height of the products stored. This allows the system to accommodate inventory of different sizes and weights while maximizing storage density.

Key components include storage trays, an automated lift and extractor, an ergonomic access opening, a control system, and an enclosed supporting structure.

Advanced systems such as the SSI LOGIMAT® can operate as standalone solutions or integrate with warehouse management and ERP software, helping improve inventory control and streamline warehouse operations.

By bringing products directly to the operator, Vertical Lift Modules can help facilities store more in less floor space, reduce unnecessary travel, improve organization, and increase picking efficiency—making them an ideal solution for parts, tools, components, and other frequently accessed inventory.
