Addverb Medius Review: Specs and Uses of the Multi-Level Tote Shuttle
Updated: 7 days ago
The Addverb Medius is a multi-level shuttle, a rail vehicle with a mast that stores and retrieves totes on several levels of racking. The manufacturer does not publish a price. This review covers its specifications and uses.
Quick Verdict
An ordinary tote shuttle serves one level, so a tall store needs one vehicle per level. Medius carries a mast 3.8 m high and serves seven levels from one track, which cuts the number of vehicles for stores that need density more than speed. It moves at 3.1 m/s with 30 kg, stores double-deep to 20 m and reaches a stated 36 totes per square metre. Throughput is modest, 103 totes per hour on a 30 m track, so it suits slow and medium movers.
