How does the smart vertical lift module work
Main Frame Structure of the Vertical Lift Module
The main structure of the cabinet is fabricated using national standard cold-rolled steel plates, consisting of eight support columns, connecting beams on both sides, supplemented with diagonal braces. The columns serve as the load-bearing framework, providing the primary load capacity. The pallet matrix-type combination structure is placed on the front and rear slots inside the cabinet. The overall height can reach up to 20 meters, and it can span multiple floors, with access points set on different floors.
Schematic Side View of the Storage System Structure
It is mainly divided into three major areas: the back storage area, the central operating area, and the front storage area. The pallet matrix-type combination structure is placed in both the front and rear storage areas. Where conditions permit, it is extended as high as possible to make full use of the three-dimensional space and improve floor space utilization.
How to choose the pallet size?
Pallet Width: 850 mm to 4100 mm
Pallet Depth: 450 / 643 / 850 / 1105 / 1120 mm (five standard sizes)
Pallet Height: 50 / 70 / 100 / 120 / 133 mm (five standard sizes)
Pallet Load Capacity: 100 / 250 / 500 / 750 / 1000 kg (five levels)
The selection can be determined based on a comprehensive consideration of the weight, volume, and quantity of the materials to be stored, as well as the dimensions of your containers. The general principle is to choose the largest possible pallet size that your site conditions allow, so as to achieve the maximum return on the minimum investment. Alternatively, you can provide us with your specific requirements, and we will help evaluate the most suitable solution for you.

Customization Services
The equipment can be raised, lowered, or relocated. It can span multiple floors, and can be configured with up to five access points at the front and rear, facilitating simultaneous operations across different floors. To increase warehouse capacity, if installation outside the building is permitted, an additional external structure can be added. In this case, stored goods can be accessed through specially designed openings in the wall.
Integration with Other Systems/Equipment
Conveyor Line: To accelerate material sorting and storage/retrieval efficiency, conveyor belt technology can be used to connect workstations, while also reducing the intensity of manual handling.
Robotic Arm / Manipulator: The equipment can interface with robots and other automated handling devices to meet production line requirements and achieve automated storage.
AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle): In "goods-to-person" picking scenarios, the WCS (Warehouse Control System) receives picking instructions from the WMS (Warehouse Management System) and dispatches AGVs to enable automatic transfer of goods between storage locations and workstations.
Jib Crane / Suspended Arm Crane: Manually operated to perform gripping, transferring, and placing tasks. It is suitable for heavy-load warehousing and manufacturing workshops, assisting operators in handling large workpieces, molds, and heavy materials.
Each cabinet can be configured according to your requirements
