For industrial facilities, warehouses, and operations handling heavy items, the Modula One Ton storage system sets a new standard in automated storage and retrieval. Engineered to combine robust load capacity, space-saving efficiency, operator safety, and smart inventory control, this vertical lift module delivers unmatched performance for demanding applications.
What Is Modula One Ton Storage?
Modula One Ton storage is a heavy-duty automated vertical lift module (VLM) designed to handle very large and heavy inventory with ease. Built on the proven Modula Lift platform, this system supports up to 2,200 lb net load per tray and an overall net unit capacity exceeding 132,000 lb, making it ideal for storing and retrieving heavy tools, parts, machinery components, and bulky materials.
Unlike traditional shelving that requires sprawling floor area and manual effort, Modula One Ton leverages vertical space to maximize storage density while reducing physical strain and time spent retrieving items.
Key Advantages of Modula One Ton Storage
Modula One Ton storage is built around powerful vertical lift technology capable of handling heavy loads across all tray sizes offered. With net load capacities scaled up to 2,200 lb per tray, it supports even the most demanding inventory profiles without sacrificing performance.
By taking advantage of vertical space, Modula One Ton can reduce the required floor footprint by up to 90% compared to conventional shelving. This recovered area can be repurposed for additional work zones, production lines, or other revenue-generating uses.
Traditional storage often forces workers to climb stairs, bend, or reach for items at unsafe heights. With Modula One Ton, trays are delivered at ergonomic “golden zone” heights, minimizing strain and reducing risk of injury.
Advanced safety mechanisms, including physical and light barriers, ensure operations comply with international safety standards.
The integrated Modula WMS and Co-Pilot touchscreen interface provides real-time inventory visibility, automated updates, and secure access control. Only authorized personnel can operate the system, allowing businesses to improve accuracy, reduce mispicks, and maintain tighter control over stock levels.
Modula One Ton offers multiple bay configurations. It uses internal or external, single- or dual-delivery, to match your workflow and ergonomic needs. These configurations enhance efficiency and tailor the system to your unique operational demands.
Modula One Ton operates on an automated goods-to-person principle: trays are stored vertically inside the enclosed lift module and automatically delivered to the operator when needed. The Co-Pilot touchscreen provides intuitive control, guiding users through picking and restocking processes with minimal training.
Advanced features, such as dual external delivery bays, not only increase throughput but also enhance safety by isolating high-motion areas from other facility operations. Real-time inventory tracking ensures that every stored item is accounted for at all times.
