Store Easily – Use Vertical Storage Solutions



When you think of an outdoor storage shed what is the first picture that strikes you? I guess it's some large structure where few are wagging on some backyard invariably used for storing tools and equipment. But what if you don't have that large backyard? But still are in need of a proper storage? Well..if this is you, then a vertical storage system may be the solution you have been searching for.

When space is an issue to worry about, many business houses prefer vertical storage as a solid storage solution. Space is often a big issue for many industrial houses. Many of us have buildings or living in areas with a very small backyard, and this ends up the idea of having a traditional storage. Most of the traditional storage systems come with large structures. Though it is true that they are well designed to house all sorts of items, but is impossible to fit in a small space. But with the introduction of the vertical storage units you can store most of the items in one single unit and still have plenty of room to spare for other storage items of yours.

Yes, you can consider buying a compact Vertical Storage Solutions, but before buying, there are many questions that you have to face and take the action of buying accordingly. The first thing that you must consider is the material your storage unit. What do you prefer – metal, wood, or plastic? Metal though are very durable, but are heavy and a bit pricey. But they are smart looking and solve the purpose easily. If you are installing for storage of huge inventories in case of a large warehouse, you must go for metal storage units only. Wood is not that used these days, as they are not very durable and the walls get spoiled within years. So keeping this in mind, many people are opting for those with plastic sheds. These storage units as made up of hard plastic are lightweight. They are extremely durable and are very reasonably priced. This makes plastic Vertical Storage a perfect choice for most home and small business owners on a budget.

The size of these storage units varies. And hence gives the freedom of choosing the ideal one. However, the size of these vertical sheds is much smaller than a traditional one, but it is the shortage of space that makes the owners go for these. But being small serves its purpose quite effectively. Vertical storage solution, as the name suggests, are narrow and tall units. They are generally 2 to 4 feet in width, and can be anywhere from 4 to 8 feet tall. They come in full automated version and the manual version as well. With the advance technology, you can also lock your storage unit if and when required.

As these are customized you can opt for extra shelves and store as many items as you want. This way you can turn your storage unit with storage shelves. Some companies also offer the entire unit as a complete kit. You can buy these also and fix it by your own; you don’t have to worry as the installation procedure is quite easy, even a novice will take half an hour for a proper installation. So, rather than searching for huge storage space, get Vertical Storage unit and enjoy a safe and secured storage.

Vertical Lift Module Vs Vertical Carousel



Vertical Lift
A Vertical Lift Module (VLM) has a series of drawers (trays) that are picked up by an automatic lift and deposited in picking bays. These systems consist of two rows of slotted supports which contain trays that are transported by an automated elevator from the supports to the picking bay.
The elevator moves vertically in the center between the two rows of supports and presents the tray out to the operator. It is controlled by a hardware and software system that is efficient and easy to use. Our Modula vertical lift can support up to 70 tonnes of storage and the elevator can move at speeds of average 2 metres per second. Vertical lifts evolved from the vertical carousel in the 90’s and are the new technology in automated storage.
Vertical Carousel
Vertical Carousel has a series of carriers (shelves) supported by chains that rotate vertically in a closed loop. All inventory stored in a Vertical Carousel is moved when parts are retrieved (picked) and replenished. Vertical Carousels were the original type of automated vertical storage introduced many years ago with machines still in operation after 30 years. They are ideal for small parts. The shelves stop in front of a bench where the operator can pick from an ergonomic height. Vertical carousels need to have a fairly balanced load so the motors are not struggling to move the shelves around. Small parts are normally in storage bins which are pulled out so that the operator doesn’t have to reach in to get a part.
