VQuip - Melbourne

View the details behind our VLM Case Study

VQuip is a Australian owned company that specialises in the design and manufacture of commercial vehicle fitouts tailored to the unique needs of fleet businesses.

Project Background

VQuip, a specialist in commercial vehicle fit-outs, faced growing inefficiencies in their storage operations. Their inventory spans a wide variety of components—shelving units, mounting brackets, electrical kits, and countless accessories essential for custom installations. Previously, these items were scattered across multiple storage locations throughout the facility, forcing installation teams to waste valuable time walking between areas to gather parts for each job. This “walk-time” added up significantly, reducing productivity and delaying project completion. A centralized solution was urgently needed.

Project Details

Constraints

The project presented challenging constraints that demanded flexibility and forward thinking design. The storage system needed to accommodate an extraordinary variety of items from tiny screws and fasteners to heavy steel brackets and oversized shelving components—all within a single unified solution. Weight capacity and dimensional adaptability were critical requirements. Additionally, the company’s rapid growth trajectory meant any investment had to be future-proof. The chosen solution needed the flexibility to scale alongside expanding inventory or relocate to a larger facility if business demands required it.

Implementation

The implementation introduced a streamlined solution designed to eliminate wasted time and maximize space efficiency. A single Vertical Lift Module was installed, centralizing all small-to-medium parts into one accessible location and dramatically reducing walk-time for installation teams. To optimize every inch of available storage, the system utilizes dynamic tray height sensing technology. This intelligent feature automatically measures each tray’s contents and adjusts storage positioning accordingly, maximizing internal density based on actual item heights rather than fixed, inefficient spacing between trays.
