Product Portfolio
Kardex offers several automated storage technologies: Shuttle XP vertical lift modules provide high-density storage with goods-to-person picking. Horizontal carousels deliver items to operators via rotating shelves. Vertical carousels maximize height utilization. The Kardex FulfillX software platform orchestrates automated systems and integrates with WMS.
Why 3PLs Choose Kardex
Third-party logistics providers choose Kardex to maximize valuable warehouse space. Vertical lift modules can recover up to 85% of floor space compared to static shelving.
