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.
Why Choose a Compact Twin?
The Compact Twin is engineered for speed without compromise. With dual tray elevators, it drastically reduces wait times between picks—boosting throughput and efficiency. Ergonomic tray delivery minimizes strain on operators, while smart storage optimization allows more items to be stored in less space.
Optimized for High-Volume Workflows
Whether you’re handling spare parts, tools, raw materials, or finished goods, the Compact Twin is built for operations that demand maximum speed, precision, and organized high-volume storage. Ideal for manufacturing, retail, healthcare, aerospace, and defense, it supports fast-paced environments where every second and every square foot counts.
