Automated Storage & Retrieval
Compact Lift
Compact vertical storage lifts transform stock handling: faster, simpler access to more items in far less floor space, with better working conditions for your team. You typically save 70–90% of floor area compared with standard shelving and pallet racks while using the full height of the building. Large load trays avoid space lost to posts or end panels; the system measures goods height automatically and compacts tray spacing for maximum density. Standard supply covers 3–16 m in height, tailored to your ceiling, floor structure, doors and truck routes. The elevator is driven by pinion wheels on homogeneous gear racks (rack and pinion) for stable movement and precise tray positioning.
Compact Single
Large volumes of smaller items or space-consuming, heavy products — trays up to 1,500 kg.
Compact
Twin
Two load trays at once; picking can be more than doubled while the next tray is retrieved in parallel.
Compact
Double
Same family as the Twin, with double load trays in depth for more storage per square metre.
Compact
Carousel
Rotating carousel system for high-speed sequential picking
Why Choose Randex
What Sets Us Apart
Rack & Pinion 4-Wheel Drive
Our rack and pinion system with four drive wheels delivers superior stability, precision positioning, and exceptional load-bearing capacity — even at maximum heights.
Speed
From rapid lead times and swift installation to same-day engineer response — we move fast so you're never waiting. Our streamlined process gets you operational in weeks, not months.
Space Saver
Save 70–90% of floor space versus standard shelving and pallet racks by using the full ceiling height. A single Compact Lift replaces rows of conventional storage, freeing valuable warehouse space for other operations.
Ergonomics
Items are delivered directly to the operator at an optimal working height, eliminating bending, stretching, and heavy lifting. Reduced physical strain means fewer injuries and greater productivity.
Control
Achieve 99.9% picking accuracy with integrated LED pick-to-light indicators, laser pointers, and software-guided workflows. Full inventory control and real-time stock visibility.
Tailored Solutions
Every installation is custom-configured to your exact requirements — from tray sizes and load capacity to software integration and workflow optimisation. No off-the-shelf compromises.
Flexibility
Adapted to your premises — including beams in the roof, sloping roofs, installations outside the building, or several floors and openings — so you get the largest storage volume on the minimum footprint.
UK-Based Service & Support
Our own engineers are based across the UK, delivering fast response times and hands-on support. No overseas call centres — just real expertise when you need it.
