Boost your warehouse efficiency with Horizontal Carousel storage systems. But what about the alternatives like Vertical Carousels and Vertical Lift Modules (VLMs)? Let’s explore their differences to help you choose the right fit.

Flexible Storage Solutions

Choosing one system doesn’t mean you’re locked in. Each has its pros and cons, even when compared to manual systems. Here’s an overview of Vertical Carousels and VLMs to help you find the best fit for your business.

Vertical Lift Module (VLM)

VLMs maximize storage within the same footprint, making them a great choice for any storage unit. They offer adaptability for businesses handling a wide range of products. With shelf heights adjustable up to 28 inches, VLMs automatically adjust based on item height, saving valuable worker time. The module’s height can also be tailored to your warehouse dimensions. While slightly more expensive than Vertical Carousels, their flexibility makes them worth considering.

Vertical Carousel

Unlike the horizontal version, Vertical Carousels optimize unused vertical floor space, making them ideal for compact warehouses. By integrating multiple units, you can boost throughput and picking speed. Although they offer less storage, their smaller footprint allows for more machines. Additionally, they easily control temperature and humidity. However, they are slower than horizontal units and require even item distribution.

Maintenance and Certification

While these systems enhance operational performance, they require regular input and maintenance. Periodic servicing is crucial to maintain certification compliance, similar to forklifts and cranes.
