Vertical Lift Machines

Vertical Lift Machines Let’s lift your company to new heights! We offer automated vertical warehouse solutions and are Vertical automated storage is the storage of the future.

Like in all aspect of life today automation can be found everywhere including in warehouse storage. The two major benefits of vertical automated storage are space saving and efficiency improvements due to the goods to man concept, over the traditional, man to goods retrieval of stock. Both of which are major considerations for Australian companies as they try to reduce costs and remain competitive

. VLM Pty Ltd is just under a year old but its history goes back 5 years. 5 years ago I helped secure the Australasian (Australia and New Zealand) agency for Modula Italy, a division of System Logistics with 35 branches around the world. A year ago Modula Italy moved the agency agreement to VLM Pty Ltd of which I own 100%. To date we have 100 VLM’s installed across Australia at well-known branded companies.

🔩 Five signs your manufacturing floor has a manual handling risk that a rotation schedule will not fix.

Most risks on a production floor do not show up as a single incident. They show up as a pattern. And they are visible if you know what to look for.

If two or more of these apply to your operation, your current controls may not be enough. Link in first comment.

⚙️ The part coming off your CNC doesn't get lighter at 4pm.

This operator handles flanged machined components all shift. The weight stays the same. The precision required stays the same. What changes is the operator.

Dalmec carries the load. The operator controls every placement.

One machine. One person. No compromise on accuracy.

🏭 Your production line was engineered for throughput. Your operators were not.

A 40 kg unit lifted every three minutes is manageable at 7am. By 2pm, the operator who has completed 140 of them is slower, less precise, and carrying a cumulative physical load that no SWMS accounted for.

The WHS Act does not ask whether the individual lift was within limits. It asks whether you took all reasonably practicable steps to eliminate or minimise the risk.

For a task repeated hundreds of times per shift in a manufacturing environment, that step is an engineering control.

This month we are publishing four posts on what that looks like on an Australian manufacturing floor. Link in first comment.

🔥 This is foundry work. Nobody talks about it.

Extreme heat. Heavy castings. Precision placement. Workers who have done it by hand for years because there was no better option.

Dalmec changes the equation. The machine carries the load. The operator controls the placement. In a 900-degree environment where heat, weight and proximity are all working against you at once, that trade matters more than anywhere else.

⚠️ If WorkSafe walked in tomorrow and asked what engineering control you had in place for your film roll handling, what would you say?

NuPure Beverages had a hand crank lifter.

It reduced the strain. The operator still carried the load on every lift. That is a lower order control, not an engineering control on record.

They upgraded to Dalmec.

The operator still guides every lift. The machine now carries it. One decision moved them up the hierarchy.

This video shows the before and after. Real footage. Real installation. Real outcome.

If your operation has a repetitive task running all shift with no documented engineering control, send us three things.

Load weight. Motion. Lifts per shift.

We will engineer the answer.

🎬 This task does not make the incident report. Until the day it does.

Plastic film bobbins up to 100kg. Lifted, inclined, and placed precisely - every time, all shift. The load arrives horizontal. It needs to go vertical. The operator makes it happen.

A Dalmec PEC manipulator with internal expander and pneumatic inclination removes that exposure completely. Straight back posture. Smooth controlled movement. One operator handling 100kg without strain.

The task has not changed. The risk has.

Engineered for the task. Not adjusted for it.

📊 One back injury claim in food manufacturing costs more than most operations managers estimate - before you count the replacement labour, the throughput loss, or the WorkCover premium movement that follows.

Most production floors know the risk is there. Fewer have put a number on what it costs to carry it versus what it costs to remove it.

We have broken this down. Task by task. Shift by shift. The full cost of a manual handling risk that has not generated a claim yet, and what an engineering control would cost to eliminate it. Read it in full - link in first comment.

🥃 Glenfiddich. Balvenie. Grant's. One operator. Every barrel.

Some of the most recognised Scotch whisky labels in the world are produced in facilities where 60kg barrel handling happens hundreds of times a day.

A Dalmec PEC manipulator with jaw gripper handles each barrel with vertical grip and manual rotation. One operator. Full control. No second person. No cumulative injury exposure building across the shift.

The load has not changed. The risk has.

Engineered for the task. Not adjusted for it.

📋 Training your team to lift correctly is not an engineering control. The WHS Act has never said it was.

The hierarchy of controls exists for a reason. Engineering sits above administrative. Most food production floors are running their highest-repetition tasks at the bottom of that hierarchy: rotation schedules, two-person lifts, SWMS documents.

That is a documented liability. Not a gap you can train around. We break down what the Act actually requires on a food production floor, and what an engineering control looks like when it is installed and working. Swipe through. Link in first comment.

⚠️ If your answer to a 75kg repetitive lift is a second person, your WHS plan is not a control measure. It is a cost centre.

The Dalmec PEC manipulator with jaw gripper handles multiple large bottles simultaneously - vertical grip, horizontal placement, fully guided by one operator.

The load does not fight back. The operator stays fresh across the full shift.

This is what engineering control looks like on a real production floor.

Engineered for the task. Not adjusted for it.
