Lektriever Pullout Trays

June 13, 2013

When it comes to storage space, organization and space are key. The Lektriever Vertical Carousel from Kardex Remstar can be equipped with carriers that store individual trays that can be removed from the unit and brought to an individual's workstation. These pullout trays bring the work to the worker. This feature helps maximize storage capacity within the vertical carousel, improve worker ergonomics and increase organization.

The Lektriever Vertical Carousel can store a wide range of media. Multiple sizes of storage trays are available which can be used for storage of file folders, card media, optical boxes, photos, digital media storage devices, product samples, binders and a vast array of other items. As the unit reaches its maximum capacity, these pullout trays can be utilized in a multitude of ways to help keep materials organized.

Unlike traditional filing cabinets that remain stationary, these trays can be removed at any time without bending or reaching. All automated storage and retrieval systems from Kardex Remstar work on the "Goods to Person" principle, delivering all stored materials to the golden zone. This is the area between a person's shoulders and waist to eliminate bending, reaching or stooping. Workers can easily lift the tray from the machine and return to their workstation to complete any necessary auditing without hassle.

Individual trays can be removed from the Lektriever Vertical Carousel and brought back to a workers desk for batch processing. In some applications at month end, files need review and media needs to be archived. Allowing for materials to be easily removed and archived not only helps the organization keep things in order, it frees additional space within the carousel for more goods to be stored.

This feature improves daily tasks, by bringing the work directly to the worker. The Lektriever Vertical Carousel pullout trays increase functionality of the machine by increasing storage capacity over time. With business operations constantly changing, the Lektriever Vertical Carousel can change with the business, work flow and overall processes.
