White Systems' Compact Twin Vertical Lift Module

Compact Twin Vertical Lift Modules deliver exceptional performance for high-speed, high-volume operations. VLMs are automated storage systems that use vertical space to organize parts and bring them directly to the operator—eliminating the need to walk, bend, or search through shelves. This makes them ideal for saving space, improving safety, and boosting productivity.

What Sets the Compact Twin Apart

The Compact Twin VLM is engineered for maximum speed and throughput, featuring a dual-tray elevator that enables high-speed picking with the fastest tray retrieval in its class. This high-performance design minimizes wait times, maximizes storage density, making it ideal for environments where every second counts.
