THE SOLUTION:

NationWide Shelving's installation team, A1 Install, was the perfect solution for maintenance on the vertical lift storage system. A1 Install has professionaly trained technicians that are certified to operate on automated storage units, such as the Hanel Lean Lift. A1 Install is locally owned and operated, so technicians were readily available to work on RB's warehouse vertical shuttle lift in a timely manner.

ABOUT THE PRODUCT:

Also referred to as Vertical Lift Module (VLM), Vertical Reciprocating Conveyor (VRC), and Automated Storage / Retrieval System. Vertical lifts are state-of-the-art robotic storage units, which retrieve loads to and from "defined" storage locations within the vertical lift system. Vertical lifts are safe, efficient, and convenient when it comes to moving materials from one level to another. Vertical lifts can be installed in a new or existing building and can be customized to fit your application needs. Vertical lifts are less costly to install, operate, and maintain than elevators. Vertical lifts can even be installed in unused elevator shafts. Vertical lifts are designed to move loads of all shapes, sizes, and weights (from 1 lb to 200,000 lbs). Vertical lifts often get confused with vertical carousels. The difference between vertical lifts and vertical carousels is this: vertical lifts are like an elevator, in which one shelf level moves at one time, while a vertical carousel moves all the shelf levels at the same time, like a ferris wheel.

• Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems
  • An ASRS or AS/RS consists of a variety of computer-controlled systems for automatically placing and retrieving loads from defined storage locations. Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems are typically in applications for high volume loads being moved into and out of storage areas. These sophisticated systems have the advantage of immense storage density, over traditional storage systems. ASRS allows faster retrieval of stored items, and it prevents injury to operators, since they wouldn't need to use a ladder to climb to a certain height, and they wouldn't need to bend their backs for a lower shelf level. An efficient AS/RS system helps companies cut expenses by minimizing the amount of unnecessary parts and products in storage, and improves organization of the stored contents. Due to these processes, AS/RS allows for more storage space because of high-density storage, and narrower aisles.
