VLMS VERTICAL LIFT MODULES VERTICAL STORAGE CAROUSELS VERTICAL WAREHOUSE
VLMs
Vertical Lift Modules (VLMs) are automated vertical storage warehouses engineered to deliver high-density storage, efficient picking, and seamless integration for Australia’s demanding industrial environments. By maximising vertical space, VLMs dramatically increase storage capacity, improve inventory accuracy, and eliminate wasted warehouse floor area—making them one of the most effective automated storage systems on the market.
Modula is one of the leading automated storage brands in Australia, trusted across manufacturing, distribution, e-commerce, and maintenance operations. Modula’s VLMs provide faster picking speeds, precise inventory control, and industry-leading reliability, making them ideal for businesses upgrading outdated shelving or replacing underperforming competitor VLMs. With Modula, operations gain a more efficient and scalable automated storage solution that grows with their workflow.
Made in Italy, Modula Vertical Lift Modules are known for superior engineering, higher storage density, and exceptional uptime. Their robust construction and advanced internal logic reduce operational bottlenecks, while Modula’s powerful software, smooth system integration, and strong support network help deliver a lower total cost of ownership compared to many alternative vertical lift systems.
Modula’s product range includes the Modula Lift, their flagship high-capacity VLM; the Modula Slim, a compact solution for restricted spaces; and the Modula NEXT, an advanced model designed for higher throughput, continuous picking, and demanding ergonomic requirements. This flexibility ensures businesses can choose the storage system that perfectly fits their footprint, workflow, and performance targets.
We work extensively with offices, warehouses, factories, production sites and logistics operations, offering an honest, user-friendly service and genuine expertise. Our goal is to be a one-stop shop for automation, whether you need a single AMR or a full end-to-end robotics program.
We are brand-agnostic and partner with a curated selection of world-leading manufacturers. This gives clients true choice and ensures we always recommend the best-value robot or system for the task. When specialist skills are required, we collaborate with trusted OEMs and integrators we’ve worked with before, maintaining a QA layer and handling all communication so you stay fully supported.
Our offering includes AMRs, AMR forklifts, cobots, palletising systems, ASRS, goods-to-person systems, conveyors, security robots, and cleaning robots, all backed by real ROI, real case studies, and full support in Australia.
High-Capacity Vertical Lift Module
Modula Lift
The Modula Lift is one of the most widely adopted vertical lift modules on the market, built for businesses that need maximum storage density, heavy load capacity, and 24/7 performance. With its tall, modular design, the Lift uses the full height of your facility to store thousands of SKUs while delivering fast, accurate tray retrieval.
Companies choose Modula Lift over other models when they require the highest possible capacity, long‑term durability, and a VLM that can scale alongside their warehouse growth
Compact Automated Storage for Tight Spaces
Modula Slim
The Modula Slim is purpose-built for operations with extremely limited floor space. Its ultra-narrow footprint enables full automation in areas where traditional VLMs and competitor units simply can’t fit. Despite its compact size, the Slim maintains impressive storage density and quick picking speeds.
Businesses select the Slim over the Lift, Next, and Flexibox when space is restricted, but they still want the efficiency and accuracy of a modern vertical lift system without major facility changes.
High-Throughput VLM With Continuous Picking
Modula Next
Modula Next is designed for fast-paced environments requiring high-frequency picking and minimal operator wait time. Unlike standard VLMs, Next lets operators access items while the machine continues reorganising trays internally, enabling continuous workflow and dramatically reducing bottlenecks.
Companies choose Modula Next over other vertical lift modules when they need maximum throughput, parallel picking, and a solution engineered for peak-demand operations such as distribution, MRO, and manufacturing.
Flexible Compartment Storage for Diverse SKUs
Modula Flexibox
The Modula Flexibox offers highly organised storage through modular, compartment-based trays that support a wide variety of small to medium-sized items. With its ergonomic design and structure built for fast picking and replenishment, Flexibox excels in environments where inventory variety is high and organisation is critical.
Companies choose Flexibox when they need ultra-organised, flexible storage, especially for operations with diverse SKUs, frequent stock rotation, or workflows requiring clear visibility and separation of items.
Businesses select the Slim over the Lift, Next, and Flexibox when space is restricted, but they still want the efficiency and accuracy of a modern vertical lift system without major facility changes.
