Efficient Storage of Heavy and Oversized Goods

Pallet storage can take up a lot of warehouse capacity and time. With decades of experience as a leading international supplier of automated pallet warehouses and storage and retrieval systems, we develop solutions that address these challenges and replace manual processes. Our key product features include workplace ergonomics, safety, high payload capacity, optimal use of storage space, and fast, efficient operations. Over the years, we have successfully implemented solutions for storing large and heavy goods on special load carriers and pallets or other standardized load carriers such as pallet cages.

Managing heavy and bulky items is a daily challenge for many operations—especially when floor space is limited, and quick access is critical. Our heavy duty solutions offer automated, space-efficient solution designed specifically for the safe, organized, and high-performance storage of heavy goods. Whether you're handling large components, tooling, dies, or containers, the Shuttle VLM adapts to your specific requirements while improving efficiency and safety.

Optimized Use of Space

The Kardex Shuttle VLM makes the most of vertical space, storing heavy items in a compact footprint and freeing up valuable floor area. By adjusting tray height dynamically to the size of stored items, the system maximizes capacity while maintaining order and accessibility.

High Performance and Uptime

Fast, accurate storage and retrieval are essential in heavy goods environments. The Shuttle VLM minimizes downtime with consistent performance, real-time inventory tracking, and streamlined material flow—supporting greater throughput and operational agility.

Reliable and Low Maintenance

Built for durability and long-term reliability, the Shuttle VLM ensures maximum system availability. Its modular design supports easy upgrades and future expansion with minimal disruption to ongoing operations, making it ideal for evolving storage needs.

Improved Safety and Ergonomics

The Kardex Shuttle VLM enhances safety by eliminating the need for manual lifting of heavy items. With tray extraction capabilities, goods can be easily transferred from the VLM to external equipment without physical strain. The system integrates seamlessly with overhead cranes, hoists, and lifting aids, allowing operators to move bulky or high-weight items with precision and minimal effort. By automating heavy load handling, the Shuttle VLM reduces injury risk, improves workplace ergonomics, and supports a safer, more efficient operation.

Simplified Material Handling

Integrating seamlessly with your existing workflows, the Shuttle VLM can be paired with cranes, carts, or conveyors to streamline the movement of heavy items between storage, assembly, and shipping zones. This minimizes manual handling and keeps production running smoothly.

Scalable and Customizable

The Kardex Shuttle VLM is fully scalable and configurable, offering multiple tray widths, depths, and weight capacities to fit your operation. Whether storing a few large items or managing a high volume of heavy parts, this system grows with your business—without the need for major structural changes.
