LEWISTON, MAINE - OCTOBER 3, 2005 - Diamond Phoenix today announced the addition of aisle-based storage and retrieval machines and pallet conveyor systems to its line of material handling products. This expansion, on the heels of the company’s release of its heavy-duty carousels and vertical lift modules, is part of a continuing effort to offer clients a complete suite of material handling technologies.
The Vectura Storage and Retrieval Machine (SRM) is based on a flexible, modular design that is configurable to almost any application. The single and double masted cranes have the ability to handle single, double, triple, or multi-deep storage, one or multiple loads at a time, and several types of products, such as pallets or paper reels. In addition, numerous system options are available, including one or multiple cranes per aisle, aisle transfer, tailored load handling, cold storage, and various input/output alternatives.
The company’s full range of pallet conveyor systems are also based on a modular design, taking advantage of the benefits of economy in manufacturing and simplicity of installation. The company is now able to fulfill all of a client’s conveying and handling requirements, including powered roller and chain conveyor, shuttle cars, pallet dispensers, turntables, profile gauges and vertical conveyors.
Although the cranes and pallet conveyor are recent additions to the Diamond Phoenix family, the company is no stranger to automated storage and retrieval systems (ASRS). With over 60 years of experience in ASRS among the executive management and sales teams, Diamond Phoenix has significant knowledge in applying automated storage and retrieval to warehousing and distribution applications.
“We are very excited to take the many years of experience our staff has in the in ASRS industry and apply it to full distribution center solutions. The addition of ASRS and Pallet Conveyor to our already complete technology offering will provide our customers with the most comprehensive solutions in the industry,” states Larry Strayhorn, President of Diamond Phoenix.
Throughout the last several years, Diamond Phoenix has expanded its offerings considerably. In less than 3 years, the company has introduced a multi-bay vertical lift module, a vertical carousel, heavy-duty carousels and vertical lift modules, voice-directed picking systems, and its own Warehouse Execution System™ software. This, in addition to its existing line of technologies and a growing portfolio of design and integration clients, positions Diamond Phoenix as a full-service material handling provider.
