Modula Slim: Compact Vertical Storage

Extremely compact VLM design

Modula Slim is designed for businesses that want the benefits of automated vertical storage without the need for a large footprint. The perfect vertical lift module solution for an environment with very limited floor space.

Modula Slim delivers the same smart lift technology found in the Modula Lift, but in a far more compact system, making it ideal for smaller warehouses, workshops, retail spaces, and even pharmacies.

With a depth of just 1.6 metres and minimal floor space required, it fits where traditional systems simply can’t. Despite its size, it still improves picking speed, accuracy, and inventory control, while dynamically adjusting tray heights to maximise every bit of available space. Easy to install and simple to use, Modula Slim offers a practical, cost-effective way to automate storage.

Modula Slim Benefits

Double the Load Capacity
Compared to traditional vertical carousels, Modula Slim handles up to 25,000 kg — effectively doubling the load capacity without increasing footprint.

Compact Footprint (Save Space)
One of the most space-efficient VLMs available, Slim occupies less than 3 m² of floor space, making it ideal for tight spaces.

Increase Storage Density
Available in three tray widths (1685mm, 2285mm, 2885mm), Slim uses dynamic tray-height calculation to automatically position trays based on item height, maximising internal space and eliminating wasted gaps.

Improve Picking Accuracy
With clear visual guidance, including alphanumeric LED indicators and integrated laser pointers that direct operators to the exact item location.

Low energy consumption
With both single-phase (220V) and three-phase (380V) options, Slim consumes less than 1.2 kWh, keeping running costs low while maintaining performance.

Modula Slim has all the benefits of our standard VLM (Modula Lift) but is slimmer!
