Kardex vertical lift.. the storage system that pays its own way.

In thousands of installations throughout the world, the difference between materials handling and materials managing starts with Kardex INDUSTRIEVER® vertical lift storage system... the most productive, most space-efficient storage system ever designed for small parts.

It uses vertical space instead of expensive floor space.

By utilizing vertical space up to 31 feet, the Kardex vertical lift storage system packs more high density storage capacity per cubic foot than any other type of system on the market.

It works like an elevator to deliver parts to your operators.

Picture two 31-foot stacks of tool cabinets facing each other with a small elevator between them. On the elevator, mount an automated extractor which rides up and down, removing drawers from the cabinets and delivering them to an operator through an access opening. Install an on-line microprocessor to control the automated extractor, and you have a Kardex vertical lift storage module. Put together as many modules as you need, and you have the hardest working storage system in the business.

Compare Vertical Storage and Shelving to Standard Cabinets

Suprising, but true.
Even if you use every single square inch of drawer space in standard storage cabinets (including those pain-in-the-you-know-what bottom drawers), it takes a dead minimum of 10 cabinets (an in most cases 12 to 14 cabinets) to equal the storage capacity of a Kardex vertical lift storage module.

And guess what. The price of 10 plain-old-ordinary storage cabinets is about the same as the completely automated Kardex unit. There's only one real difference. Compared to cabinets, the Kardex system speeds your retrieval time. And it does it in such an ergonomically efficient way that you may never process another Workers Comp claim.
