Teck Mark's Lean-Store System: The Next Generation Vertical Lift Module (VLM)
The Teck Mark Lean-Store Storage System is engineered to redefine your material handling strategy. This advanced Vertical Lift Module (VLM) is specifically designed for mid-to-heavy-weight components, effortlessly managing items of various shapes and sizes. Unlike traditional warehouse storage solutions, the Lean-Store utilises a robust system of stationary trays with an exceptional load capacity—up to 1 metric ton per shelf. A sophisticated, computer-controlled retrieval mechanism brings the exact required tray to the access point, eliminating walking and searching time.
The Lean-Store is more than just an automated vertical storage system; it is a core driver for productivity and efficiency in your facility. This user-friendly, enclosed vertical storage and retrieval system maximises space, provides rapid part retrieval via its automated PLC control, and dramatically enhances inventory accuracy. With high-capacity trays, it reliably handles even the bulkiest items. The Lean-Store delivers an efficient, ergonomic, and secure approach to modern warehouse automation.
Features
1. Secure & Ergonomic Automated Storage and Retrieval System (ASRS) Design
The Lean-Store stands as a secure, enclosed metal Vertical Automated Storage System. It features a single, ergonomically positioned access window that ensures safe and convenient material access for the operator. Operator safety is paramount, with built-in sensors providing enhanced protection for both the user and the system itself. This thoughtful design meets the needs of a demanding industrial environment while simplifying the material handling process, making it a safer and more efficient storage carousel system alternative.
2. Customizable Vertical Storage Carousel for Diverse Inventory
Forget the limitations of fixed warehouse storage equipment. The Lean-Store is a highly adaptable vertical storage carousel alternative. Its precision-engineered components allow for flexible platform heights and variable spacing between trays. This customizable storage capability means you can efficiently utilize your space to store a wide range of components, from small parts to bulky items, regardless of their size or shape. It’s the versatile dynamic storage solution your warehouse needs.
3. Maximized Space Utilization with Vertical Mobility
The Lean-Store champions Efficient Space Utilisation. By taking full advantage of the available height, this vertical storage system for warehouses can save up to 80% of floor space compared to conventional shelving. It achieves smooth and reliable vertical movement of the storage platforms using a robust chain drive mechanism on all four corners. This makes it an ideal vertical shelving system for facilities with limited or expensive floor space.

CUSTOMER BENEFITS
- Space Optimisation: The Teck Mark Lean-Lift storage system maximises capacity by utilising vertical space, significantly reducing the required floor area and boosting overall density.
- Versatile Storage: Its compact footprint allows for larger, robust trays than many vertical carousel storage systems, accommodating a greater variety of items and improving the efficiency of your pallet storage system or bin storage system organisation.
- High Load Capacity: Superior weight handling is a defining feature. Utilising stationary shelves and a precise PLC-controlled retriever, the system delivers a capacity of up to 1 metric ton per shelf. This ensures secure, cost-effective storage for the heaviest components.
- Automated Efficiency: The high level of automation in the Lean-Store minimizes manual labour. The efficient chain and sprocket mechanism of the retriever ensures smooth, quick material handling, significantly reducing the manual effort required in traditional systems.
- Faster Throughput: Experience significantly quicker retrieval times compared to a traditional vertical carousel conveyor. The automated retriever expedites operations, boosting overall efficiency, saving on labour costs, and increasing productivity across your streamlined workflows.
Simplified Operation and Maintenance: The Lean-Store is designed for seamless integration. Its user-friendly controls mean operators require minimal training to confidently manage the system, reducing reliance on specialised labour and promoting operational autonomy.
- Accurate Inventory Control: This advanced storage and retrieval system ensures precise inventory management. Users must input part numbers and quantities before retrieval, facilitating real-time stock updates. This capability leads to improved accuracy, reduces errors, and helps maintain optimal stock levels.
- Enhanced Material Security: The Lean-Store prioritises component safety. Its fully enclosed sheet metal cladding and curtain sensors at the access window provide a secure barrier against external elements, theft, and potential operational accidents.
- Operator Safety First: Safety remains a core priority. The system includes clearly marked emergency stop buttons positioned at the front for immediate halt of operation. This combination of security, safety, and precise inventory control solidifies the Lean-Store as a reliable and secure vertical automated storage system for your critical components.
