Automated Vertical Storage System Solutions
An automated vertical storage system is a space-saving, high-efficiency solution designed to optimize warehouse operations by using vertical space. These systems reduce labor, improve accuracy, and are ideal for storing small parts, tools, and inventory in a compact footprint. They are the solution for many challenges found in warehouses and shop floors across the world today.
These warehouse storage systems are offered at Vertical Storage USA:
- Vertical Lift Modules are enclosed systems with vertically arranged trays stored on both sides of the unit with an extractor device placed in the center.
- Vertical Storage Carousels are motorized machines that store parts on vertically rotating shelves that automatically deliver the parts to an ergonomic countertop.
- Horizontal Storage Carousels consist of an oval track supporting rotating vertical bins with shelves that deliver stored goods to the operator.
Why choose an automated vertical storage system for your warehouse?
Space Savings
Space is at a premium in warehouses and on shop floors. And because real estate equals money, it makes sense to utilize every cubic foot of space within your facility. Our automated vertical storage systems help you recover floor space and unused vertical space, increasing your storage capacity (while occupying only a small footprint) – creating up to 75% floor savings.
Increased Productivity
An automated vertical storage system can help employees quickly locate parts or products without the need to walk endlessly up and down aisles. After inputting the product name, order number, or parts list into the control pad or computer interface, the requested materials are delivered to the vertical lift module’s access point. This, along with a verification system, ensures correctly picked orders and minimizes mistakes.
Improved Ergonomics
All vertical storage units deliver materials at a worktable height, which means no bending over, straining for a high shelf, or climbing ladders for retrieval by personnel. All parts are brought to the area between the shoulders and waist for picking. This also means fewer injuries and higher job satisfaction levels for employees who regularly access the vertical storage system.
Enhanced Security
An automated vertical storage system can have a lockable door for situations in which materials or parts have a high value and are easily removed from the premises. What’s more, all access to a vertical storage solution can be tracked by date, time and specific employee, so there are no mysteries when it comes to inventory control.

Benefits of Using an Automated Vertical Storage System
Installing an automated vertical storage system can significantly improve the way your warehouse operates. Beyond just saving space, these systems offer meaningful improvements in efficiency, safety, and cost control.
Maximized Floor Space
By storing inventory vertically, you can reclaim up to 75% of previously unused floor space. This helps you avoid the need for costly facility expansions and makes better use of your existing footprint. Explore our mobile aisle storage systems for additional compact storage options.
Improved Picking Speed
Instead of walking long aisles or searching through shelving, operators can retrieve items with the push of a button. The system automatically delivers the correct tray or bin to an access point, reducing pick times and increasing throughput. Learn how goods-to-person storage robots can take this a step further.
Better Ergonomics
All inventory is presented at a comfortable working height. For industries requiring even more accessibility, our light-directed picking systems streamline operator guidance and reduce errors.
Stronger Inventory Control
Automated vertical systems offer secure access with optional locking doors and user tracking. Consider pairing with real-time inventory tracking for enhanced control.
Lower Labor Costs
With faster retrieval and improved accuracy, your team can get more done in less time. Discover how this impacts your warehouse automation ROI.
