Warehouse operations run faster and with fewer errors when storage comes to the operator. The Dexion Tornado vertical lift module is a compact vertical storage machine that applies the goods-to-person principle to speed up order picking and free floor space. Items are stored in trays inside a tall, enclosed tower; a fast lift delivers trays to an ergonomic access opening for picking and replenishment.
Compared with manual shelving, the VLM increases picking throughput and improves inventory accuracy. In many use cases, the Tornado can handle up to 1,500 boxes per hour, cutting walking, search time and mispicks. Because storage is vertical, you gain high-density storage on a minimal footprint and reduce travel in the aisle.
The system fits small parts, cartons and mixed items and can be adapted to different warehouse layouts. For businesses modernising their warehouse automation, the Dexion Tornado provides a reliable AS/RS building block that raises productivity, supports safer work and scales with demand.

A vertical lift module is an automated storage and retrieval system that brings goods directly to the operator. Inside the enclosed unit, two columns of trays face a central lift that automatically locates and presents the right tray to the access opening. This goods-to-person method shortens walking, speeds up order picking and makes inventory control more consistent.
The Dexion Tornado vertical storage machine uses a compact, tower-like design to turn ceiling height into high-density storage. Trays hold small parts, cartons and mixed items in a secure, clean environment, while the lift delivers them to a comfortable working height. The result is faster picking with fewer errors, a smaller footprint than shelving, and safer, more ergonomic work.
The VLM is built for throughput. Depending on the configuration and item mix, the Tornado can process up to 1,500 boxes per hour, reducing search time and time spent travelling between aisles. The enclosed design keeps products protected and the access opening sets a steady, ergonomic rhythm for work. Because the system follows goods-to-person principles, it also lowers the risk of strain injuries and makes new staff onboarding faster.
By stacking inventory vertically, the Dexion Tornado unlocks more storage capacity without adding square metres. Faster order picking, fewer mispicks and better inventory accuracy turn into lower operating costs and higher service levels. As demand changes, the vertical lift module scales easily by adding trays or additional machines.
