Kardex – Vertical Buffer Module
The Kardex Compact Buffer is a Vertical Buffer Module (VBM) that provides an efficient solution for fast-growing product ranges with limited storage space.
This scalable bin solution works as a mini-load system and flexibly stores, picks and buffers small parts. With the recently launched version, capable of extending up to 20 meters, the Kardex Compact Buffer provides valuable benefits. It allows companies to maximize space by utilizing the storage area at a minimal cost.
