Early bag store

Our early bag store goes by the name VarioStore and is based on a high-bay warehouse. It uses the Lift&Run system, which is much more flexible and efficient than comparable solutions. Vertical movements are done by lifting devices and lateral movements by shuttles. Though movements are independent from one another, they can be executed simultaneously. The length, width and height of the system can be scaled and can be adapted perfectly to your capacity and throughput requirements.
