Kardex Shuttle

Kardex Shuttle The Kardex Shuttle is a Vertical Lift Module (VLM) that stores two columns of trays vertically on the front and rear of the machine. An extractor located in the middle of the VLM automatically moves trays to the access opening. Optiflex technology automatically measures the height of the stored goods on each tray and assigns them to an ideal storage location. Thanks to its flexible and modular design, the Kardex Shuttle can be adapted at any time as product volumes and sizes change. It ensures a small footprint with space savings of up to 85% and dynamic storage space...
