Hanel Lean-Lift® (Vertical Lift Module)

FLEXIBILITY, EFFICIENCY & COST-EFFECTIVENESS

With the Hanel Lean-Lift® VLM, we offer you a first-class, high-tech system for storage organization and materials handling that saves time, storage space and costs, and enables a much more efficient workflow.
ADVANTAGE

Over 60% more space
The Hanel Lean-Lift® VLM, uses the available room height – in a similar way to a high-bay warehouse or miniload system. Unlike these, however, it stores parts in height-optimized positions so that no space is lost. This produces maximum storage capacity on a minimal footprint. This in turn saves costs and helps to utilize the area dedicated to storage more economically.

 

Optimal parts management
The state-of-the-art Hänel microprocessor controllers can be used as stand-alone inventory management systems or communicate with customers’ own data processing systems. An up-to-date overview of inventory is ensured at all times.

 

Efficiency
Countless companies throughout the world use the Hanel Lean-Lift® VLM to increase the cost-effectiveness of their warehousing and materials handling. Hänel VLM also offers customized special features to get even more efficiency out of the Hanel Lean-Lift®. One highlight is the Hänel EcoDrive – efficient energy recovery with the Hänel Lean-Lift®.

 

Ergonomic and safe
The ergonomic design minimizes the physical strain for employees at work. And Hänel goes far beyond the requirements of today’s safety standards.

 

We are committed to environmental protection
It goes without saying that production at our three plants meets the latest environmental guidelines. Only environmentally friendly, recyclable materials are used. But it’s not only the production that lives up to Hanel’s ecological principles – even the Hanel Lean-Lift® itself does so. Moreover, the Hänel EcoDrive makes a contribution toward reducing CO2 emissions.

 

Fast and efficient
The Hanel Lean-Lift VLM brings the requested item automatically to the access area in seconds, where it can be retrieved at the optimum ergonomic height. Goods to man is the motto instead of man to goods. Access times are radically reduced and order-picking performance substantially improved.

THE RIGHT DECISION
If you want to improve your intralogistics concept and reduce costs, you should talk to the specialists at Hänel first. They will work with you to develop your own ‘tailor-made VLM intralogistics concept’.

Optimum storage assignment based on precise height measurement of goods

Accurate height measurement for storing containers in the optimal packing density. Height-measuring light barriers spaced at 25 mm, 37.5 mm, 75 mm, 90 mm or 125 mm.

When the container is drawn in, the highly accurate light barriers measure the articles, and the Hänel microprocessor control system finds the optimum storage location in the Hanel Lean-Lift® VLM. At the same time a protruding goods check is carried out. With its height sensors, profile wall and Hänel container technology, the Hanel Lean-Lift® VLM provides vertical optimization and height optimization in one!

Accurate weights recorded with the Hänel weighing device

The Hanel Lean-Lift® Vertical Lift Module (VLM) is equipped with a weight management system as standard. As an option, an electronic 4-point weighing system can be used to weigh each container in the access point without any loss of time. The current weight is then shown on the keyboard display.

The weighing device allows the maximum load of the individual containers and that of the entire lift to be record­ed. The additional payload is determined with the tare function.

The Drive Components

SPEED IS OUR DRIVING FORCE. FAST, EFFICIENT AND QUIET.
High traversing speeds, low noise levels and accurate positioning are characteristics of the Hanel Lean-Lift Vertical Lift Module (VLM)

Hanel Lean-Lift® Vertical Lift Module (VLM) new generation in a high-speed version
The Hanel Lean-Lift® Vertical Lift Module (VLM) is available in a high-speed version. The vertical speed of travel, for example for containers with a load capacity of up to 500 kg, is 2.3 m/sec with an empty extractor, and 1 m/sec with a loaded extractor. Horizontally the extractor travels jolt-free at a speed of 0.5 m/sec.

Moreover each Hanel Lean-Lift® is equipped with a soft start control with frequency converter.

The advantage: Gentle and rapid acceleration and braking.
The vertical carriage (extractor) has 4-point suspension…

This has enormous advantages:
• No tilting of the extractor.
• No problems with certain load imbalances, especially with heavy loads, and therefore a longer lifecycle.
• Easy maintenance access from the side.
• Easy attachment of the arresting device for the extractor.

…and time-proven, low-noise 4-chain technology!

• Roller chains are durable, so no fatigue failures.
• Long lifecycle.
• No replacement necessary at fixed service intervals.
• Roller chains have a high rate of efficiency (98%).
• Accurate positioning because of high rigidity.
• No slip on emergency stops.

Highly efficient and powerful motors allow the extractor to achieve travel speeds of up to 2.3 m/sec

The Hanel EcoDrive® – CO2 reductions thanks to efficient energy recovery

In the Hanel Lean-Lift® EcoDrive®, a frequency converter converts the kinetic energy of the descending extractor into electrical energy and feeds it back into the electrical supply system.
Depending on the traversing rate, up to 40% of the energy fed in for the upward run can be returned to the supply network.

The Key To More Flexibility

The Hanel Lean-Lift® Vertical Lift Module (VLM) system offers unlimited variation possibilities.
Each Hanel Lean-Lift® Vertical Lift Module (VLM) can be used as a stand-alone system. By adding other Hanel Lean-Lifts® you can expand or alter your storage capacity at any time without any problem.
Making maximum use of the available space
Hanel Lean-Lifts® Vertical Lift Module (VLM) can be installed next to each other and even span several building levels, with multiple access points one above the other.

This creates the maximum possible storage space on a minimal footprint.

Height changes can be made post-installation using solid slot-in joints with plug welds.

The Hanel service team also takes care of relocations quickly and reliably.

The pluses
