Vertical Lift Modules or VLM's for short are designed with space savings in mind. These units use vertical space instead of spreading loads out on the warehouse floor and can acheive a total space savings of up to 80%. VLM's differ from vertical carousels in that they do not have a continuously rotating series of trays, but instead rely on a shuttle that traverses the height of the unit and picks entire shelves from their set locations. It then brings these shelves to the operator at the bottom of the unit where items can be picked or stored at a safe working height.

Unlike vertical carousels, vertical lift modules also allow for loads of different heights to be stored in the same unit. The unit's software knows how much room it has in any particular storage space and when needed can reshuffle the shelves to create the right amount of room for almost any item's height. Some VLM's even have two shuttles so a continuous pick or put cycle can be maintained with little or no interruption. These units are also very secure and simple to use.

SJF is an authorized nationwide distributor of White vertical lift modules. We provide custom carousel programming, carousel controls, carousel installation and tearout. SJF has recently developed our own proprietary Chameleon Controls© package with Sure-Pik© Software that will work with any new or existing carousel regardless of make or model.
