What are Vertical Lift Modules?

Some warehouses and industrial facilities frequently handle hundreds of small parts and products per day. Without the right equipment or systems in place, these parts can be difficult to organize, pick, and track, reducing productivity and increasing the potential for lost products. If your operation handles hundreds of small parts, it may be worth investing in a vertical lift module for your facility. These unique units make it easy to store, pick, and track various parts from the same location. As leading providers of equipment solutions for various industries, the team at Commander Warehouse Equipment knows how important it is to have the right equipment for the job. That is why we have provided some information to help you understand what vertical lift modules are and if they are the right fit for your operation.

The LogiMat Vertical Lift Module

LogiMat vertical lift modules consist of a tall container with two columns of stacked trays, an elevator, and an extractor. During operation, the elevator spans the entire container of trays, selecting the desired individual tray and transferring it to the pick window, eliminating any bending or reaching by the operator. All the system’s vertical travel is done through a rack and pinion-driven design for smooth, fast, and precise positioning during insertion and extraction of the trays. LogiMat vertical lift modules feature direct drive motors that are integrated into the vertical lift, which eliminates the need for chains and counterweights. This also helps reduce operating noise levels and maintenance costs as there is no need for periodic slack and level adjustments.

Benefits of Vertical Lift Modules

Vertical lift modules offer the following benefits for warehouses, electronics manufacturing, factories, and the medical industry:

More Floor Space

Vertical lift modules are perfect for both commercial and industrial applications as they can save up to 90% more floor space than other systems while keeping inventory clean, organized, and secure. This allows operations to install additional equipment without compromising storage space.

Optimized Productivity

Each unit is designed to increase stock efficiency and performance by 20%, providing pick rates up to 100 lines per hour. Operators can pick entire orders from one location, reducing travel time and distance by up to 70%, reducing operator strain and further increasing productivity.

Enhanced Picking Accuracy

Picking accuracy is crucial when building orders for customers or production lines. Each vertical lift module features several labelled bin trays to ensure optimal accuracy when choosing trays and picking certain part numbers from each bin.
