\nVertical lift modules (VLMs) <\/b>and vertical carousels (VCs)<\/b> are both computer-controlled, automated storage and retrieval systems (ASRS) that occupy as little floor space as possible by taking advantage of the vertical height of a facility.<\/p>\n

With both vertical storage solutions,<\/b> companies can increase warehouse productivity significantly, by eliminating unnecessary walking, hunting, and climbing.<\/p>\n

Although both deliver dense inventory storage in manufacturing and warehousing applications, these storage systems function in different ways.<\/p>\n

A vertical carousel storage system<\/b> stores parts on trays or carriers affixed to a chain that rotates, similar to a Ferris wheel.
\nOn the other hand, the vertical lift module<\/b> moves trays independently, with an extractor in the center, more like a vending machine.<\/p>\n<\/div>

In the past, the only vertical storage product offered in the market was the carousel storage system.<\/b><\/p>\n

Due primarily to the lack of flexibility and limited configurations, the vertical carousels were misapplied or configured incorrectly in many applications.<\/p>\n

The introduction of the vertical lift module<\/b> about 35 years ago started to change the face of vertical storage.<\/p>\n

Thanks to the numerous configurations and advanced technology, the vertical lift module (VLM)<\/a><\/b> offers a very flexible and scalable solution allowing for operations to change or grow, with easy implementations. Customers no longer need to worry about making the right decisions today that may not work in the future. Because of their easy configurability and scalability, VLMs can grow with companies as business strategies develop with emerging market trends and technologies.<\/p>\n

9 Disadvantages Of The Vertical Carousel <\/span><\/h4>\n

The vertical carousel <\/b>(VC), also described as a storage carousel or vertical rotating shelf system,<\/b> has many disadvantages when compared to the VLM.<\/p>\n

1. Limited Depth of the vertical carousel storage system<\/h6>\n

The vertical carousels<\/b> come in different sizes in terms of width and height. However, when it comes to depth, a vertical carousel only offers 1.5m at the most.<\/p>\n
