Vertical Lift Modules (VLM)













More than twelve years of engineering and design have gone into the Modula VLM product line, providing users with unique, field proven storage and retrieval solutions.

The Modula VLM is an enclosed, automated high-speed, high-density storage unit housing trays of items that are stored and retrieved.  Moving up and down its center is an inserter/extractor system.  The extractor stores and retrieves trays, from vertically positioned slots on the front and rear of the unit, and delivers them to its ergonomically designed pick window or workstation.

Saves space, time and labor

The Modula VLM offers many advantages

Saves space.  It takes full advantage of ceiling height and cube, maximizing storage capacity on a smaller footprint.

Saves time and Labor.  It eliminates walk and search time.  Items are brought to the operator.

Improves ergonomics.  Items are delivered quickly and quietly at a comfortable work height and can be brought outside the unit for full accessibility.  There is no bending or stretching.

Increases density and throughput

  • Fewer units required due to increased weight and size capacities
  • Increased throughput and productivity by having up to 493% more items per tray available to the picker
  • Largest width capacity per tray from 63.79 to 259.85 inches
  • Greatest weight capacity per tray from 550 to 1650 pounds
  • Highest weight capacity per unit from 99,000 to 132,000 pounds
  • Fastest vertical extractor speed
  • Seven standard models to choose from to meet your exact needs

Fewer units required

There are seven Modula VLM models to give you an unprecedented choice of greater tray width, weight capacity per tray and total payload per unit.  Because White offers this breadth of capability, users may be able to reduce the total number of units required, creating a smaller footprint, greater space savings and less total system investment.

New levels of inventory control

The Modula VLM’s width and weight capacities enable users to automate and information-manage items and areas previously difficult to effectively control.  Tools and dies too large for conventional storage…solid material storage that requires increased capacities to justify the footprint…entire kit storage on one tray, rather than multiple trays, for increased accuracy and throughput…and raw material storage, such as lengthy rube, pipe and bar stock…are all ideal applications.

High throughput

NoWait tray delivery system automatically and continuously pre-positions the next tray, so the moment the operator is done with the current tray the next tray is presented for picking.

Fast extractor stores and retrieves trays at vertical speeds up to 178 feet per minute (35.44 inches per second).

Increased tray width presents up to 493% more SKU’s per tray.  Increases probability that your next pick is on the tray already presented.

Fewer tray transactions required due to increased capacities.
