Expanding Upward: Using Vertical Space in Modern Distribution Hubs

When the floor space in your warehouse is full you have to think about building. This means adding levels to your warehouse like mezzanine floors, elevated picking areas and multi-level storage decks. These are ways to get more storage space without having to build a new warehouse.. When you add more levels you have a new problem: how to move things between floors quickly and easily.

Using elevators or forklifts to move pallets and boxes between floors can cause big delays. Workers waste a lot of time waiting for elevators, which slows down the process. To keep things moving smoothly you need a way to transfer materials between floors automatically and continuously.

The Important Role of Multi-Level Conveyor Automation Systems

Using automated Vertical Conveyors is a way to move products between floors continuously. These conveyors are different from elevators, which move things in small batches and slowly. Vertical Conveyors work with your existing conveyor system creating an automated link between different levels of your facility.

Whether you need to move pallets, light boxes or individual packages Vertical Conveyors can be set up to handle your specific needs. By automating this process you eliminate the risks of handling and free up your team to focus on important tasks like picking and packing
