Detailed information about the product Vertical Lift System

The Kardex Shuttle NT is the ideal storage system for room heights from 4 to 25 meters. The tower principle ensures that the access time is kept to a bare minimum. The drive is frequency-controlled and the lift speed can be perfectly adjusted to suit the stored goods. Depending on the type, the speed amounts to up to 3 meters per second. Light barriers in the access opening guarantee maximum safety for users.

Benefits
  • Save Space - The tower principle guarantees an extremely high capacity on the smallest possible floor space. Storing 500 meters of files on only 9 square meters? No problem for the Kardex Shuttle NT!
  • Saving Time - The system delivers the selected tray to the retrieval position in only a few seconds. Long periods sent searching and retrieving files are eliminated.
  • Health and Safety - The HSE guidelines on manual handling are comprehensive and clearly make employers responsible for introducing automation where possible to avoid the risks associated with manual handling. We estimate that 80% of the physical effort associated with manual systems will be eliminated by the introduction of Shuttle.
  • Better Protection - The contents of the Shuttle NT are protected against dust and unauthorized access. It can be easily connected to an alarm system (e.g. using motion sensors). Upon request we will supply the Kardex Shuttle with a KFPS fire extinguisher system.
  • Automation/Software - The Kardex Shuttle is easy to use: the files are delivered to the user at the press of a button. The Shuttle can be connected to a PC control at the press of a button.
  • Increased Picking Speed - The Shuttle presents stock to the operator rather than the other way round. The correct tray will be brought by the extractor to the access level. Software will tell the operator how many items to pick. The Shuttle will also sort stock into an optimum picking sequence minimizing machine travel time. Anticipated improvements in picking speeds are four-fold.
