The Tornado Lift System is a dynamic storage system which moves vertically and delivers the required goods on a tray directly to the operator, either by pushing a button or scanning a barcode. The Tornado offers maximum storage capacity on minimum floor space and fast access to the goods.
The modular design of the system enables a variety of machine widths and heights, it can be customised to meet nearly every requirement. The simple structure makes this storage system reliable and low-maintenance. It requires almost 75% less floor space compared to conventional storage solutions and can operate as a stand-alone system or as a multi-unit installation.
An intelligent control system can locate the most active trays as close as possible to the access opening for efficient picking. The Tornado Lift systems operates using our TCPlus software. This Windows based platform can be easily linked with your existing WMS or ERP system so that the Machine becomes an extension of your network.
Double Tornado duplicates capacity
The Tornado´s storage capacity can be doubled by integrating two standard Tornados into one unit – Tornado DT.
Just like a standard Tornado, a batch picking system can be connected to a Tornado DT. This allows you to double your capacity but operate the machine as a single unit. By doing this you can further speed up picking times and minimise errors.
