Reclaim Valuable Space
The AutoCrib® VLM Vertical Lift Module system provides up to 80% more inventory storage than traditional shelving and requires only 47 square feet of floor space, giving you more room for manufacturing, warehousing, kitting operations, shipping/receiving, quality control and offices.
You can save up to 1,400 square feet per 25ft VLM system vs. traditional shelving. That’s £14,000 saved per year at a conservative £10/sq. ft. warehousing cost.

Inventory Control and Accuracy
Fraser solutions have the most advanced and accurate technology for inventory management on the market. More than an automated shelf, it provides item-level inventory management, advanced permissions-based access controls and powerful reporting capabilities.
Managers are provided with unequalled actionable information, as it automatically and accurately records every transaction leading to real time inventory counts, eliminating cycle counts and costly physical inventory shutdowns.
Let the VLM do your heavy lifting.
The VLM vertical lift module is up to 80% more space efficient than traditional shelving or cabinet storage systems and is designed to issue specific items from the smallest fasteners to V flange holders and large items.
Goods-to-person
Inventory can be retrieved quickly and routed in sequence to your order pickers. A single operator can run multiple vertical lift module systems virtually eliminating operator dwell time. You can see a sustainable 20 - 40% increase in picking productivity.
Reduce workplace injuries
Items are presented to employees at a comfortable ergonomically correct workstation. Every item is in the 'Golden Zone' with no need for employees to bend down, reach up or climb.
Greater flexibility
The VLM systems offer unparalleled flexibility as they are modularised and easy to implement, allowing them to integrate seamlessly into an existing infrastructure, or gradually expand your automated storage solution over different phases.
No repackaging required
Vertical lift storage systems are incredibly flexible systems. You can use your existing boxes, totes, and bins — no special bins or product carriers are required.
Employee accountability
Advanced permissions-based access controls track warehouse transactions to specific employees, reminding them to take responsibility for each item they obtain.
High reliability
Our patented full-width extractor for storing and retrieving trays is engineered to be remarkably simple. With fewer moving parts our system has outstanding dependability for long-term 24/7 operations and costs significantly less to maintain.
