Compact Double Vertical Lift Module

Maximum SKU Density & High-Capacity Goods-to-Person ASRS

The Compact Double is built for high-density facilities that need maximum SKU consolidation in a minimal footprint. Featuring a dual-tray elevator mechanism and a four-tray-per-level layout, it organizes parts, tooling, and inventory while bringing items directly to the operator. Integrated with MILO™ inventory software, it connects seamlessly with your WMS/ERP for complete real-time tracking.

  • Store maximum SKUs in a single vertical lift module

  • Reclaim up to 85% of floor space compared to standard shelving

  • Goods-to-Person delivery at an ergonomic access height

  • High-density vertical storage for small-to-medium part

Compact Double VLM

Is the Compact Double the right VLM for your facility?

Best fit when you need:

  • Maximum storage density in a compact footprint

  • High SKU consolidation for parts, tools, and components

  • Goods-to-Person fulfillment to reduce walk and search time

  • Seamless WMS integration via MILO™ software

A different VLM may be better if:

  • Your priority is the fastest tray delivery
  • You need very large or heavy trays
  • You are comparing lower-cost entry points into automated storage
  • You need help choosing between density, speed, tray size, and budget

Built for Maximum Inventory Consolidation

The Compact Double is the ideal solution for facilities managing massive SKU counts that require total organization in a restricted footprint. By utilizing a 4-tray horizontal configuration and an intelligent dual-tray elevator, it allows for the highest possible storage volume per square foot. It is the ‘Master’ unit for high-density storage, designed for operations where floor space is the most critical constraint.

What makes the Compact Double different?

Four trays per level

Stores more inventory per vertical module than standard VLM configurations.

Dual-tray elevator

Stages tray movement efficiently to support smoother picking and fewer pauses.

High-density SKU consolidation

Useful for facilities with many parts, components, tools, or inventory locations spread across shelving.

Controlled ergonomic access

Brings stored items to a comfortable access point instead of sending operators to shelves, ladders, or distant storage areas.

Integrated software support

Can connect with inventory and picking workflows through White Systems software and integration support.
