The SPSS Vertical Lift Module consists of two towers of stacked trays arranged on shelves with an extractor lift platform that automatically travels a center shaft between the towers. Stored product remains stationary as a vertical lift device (extractor platform) moves to retrieve a tray requested by the operator. Product is brought to the operator (unlike static racks which require the operator to walk to the product). Using simple controls, the operator pulls a tray (choosing by tray, part number or description) and the tray is delivered to the operator at an ergonomically correct workstation. Tray return is automatic when you request another location.

All necessary safety and control features included, this vertical storage system tackles needs of businesses large and small. The visual aid below describes each element of the SPSS Vertical Lift Module (VLM):

Ergonomic workstation where operator physically handles the inventory. The height and depth of the workstation have been designed to be ergonomical for the shortest to the tallest operators.

Stationary Storage racks on the front and back of the machine provide economical storage.

Removable trays at each shelf location allow the entire contents of one shelf to be retrieved.

PC-Style keyboard interface enables the operator to select desired tray or part to retrieve.

Vertical lift device referred to as "platform" travels the center of the vertical tower. The platform stops at specified shelf locations to pick up or deliver a tray.

Extractor bars for pulling and pushing trays to and from shelves and workstation are located on the lift platform.

Cable lift drive is quiet, fast and reliable, located under the workstation.

Control panel is mounted on slides for easy access and is also located under the workstation.

Tray partitions can be used for predefined storage locations.

Preassembled Module - The first 6' of the machine is a preassembled module to greatly simplify installation and startup of the machine.

Workstation sliding door is lockable to completely secure access to machine.

Front and side doors are also lockable to secure the machine but still allow full access to controls, lift drive, and platform.
