Vertical Transfer Unit

The VTU transfers pallets between levels of storage and input or take-away devices within the PowerStor® module.

Operation: A pallet is delivered to a Pick Up & Deposit Station (PDS) located at each level of racking or at various input or take-away positions. The VTU will extend its forks into the pallet opening, lift the pallet off the PDS, bring the pallet on-board the VTU and then travel vertically to the designated level where it will deposit the pallet on that level PDS for storage by an Aisle Row Cart Pair or an output device to be transported away from the system to the assigned destination.
