Vidir Sports Equipment Storage Lift
An automated vertical lift, trusted by an NFL organization, that stores large wheeled equipment trunks vertically so athletic programs reclaim floor space and speed up game-day prep.
Trusted by the Pros, Built for Any Program
Already trusted by an NFL organization to store 16-plus player trunks in a compact, single
45-square-foot system, the Vidir Sports Equipment Storage Lift is an automated storage and
retrieval system (ASRS) engineered specifically for athletic equipment rooms. Built on the same
proven platform as Vidir’s healthcare vertical lift modules, the trunk lift vertically stores large,
wheeled travel trunks that would otherwise clutter hallways and laundry rooms.
Rather than letting trunks eat up valuable floor space in storage rooms and hallways, the trunk
lift provides a centralized, vertical solution that lifts gear off the ground and into organized
storage bays — maximizing available space while keeping every team’s equipment instantly
accessible.
How the Automated Trunk Lift Works
The Sports Equipment Storage Lift is built on Vidir’s automated Vertical Lift Module (VLM) platform — the same industrial-grade motors and precision drive systems used across Vidir’s healthcare and industrial vertical lifts. A request at the control panel brings the correct trunk tray down to a safe, ergonomic height for loading or unloading, then returns it to secure vertical storage.
Because the mechanism is shared with Vidir’s proven VLM line, equipment managers get the same reliability and low-maintenance steel construction that MH-USA installs across manufacturing, government, and healthcare facilities.
Solving the Clutter Crisis and Retrieval Challenges
Equipment rooms get overcrowded fast — large, wheeled travel trunks blocking hallways and
laundry areas, and staff digging through stacked trunks to find the right one before an away game.
Vidir’s Sports Equipment Storage Lift handles these problems with precision: the trunk lift clears
the floor while keeping gear instantly accessible, and automated retrieval makes finding the right
trunk faster and more accurate than manual searching.
Engineered for the Rigors of Athletics
Vidir storage solutions are built to handle fully loaded trunks without strain, keeping helmets,
pads, and uniforms in one location while freeing up the space below. Industrial-grade motors and
precision drive systems enable seamless location, retrieval, and return of each trunk, reducing
bending and reaching for equipment staff.
Storage Automation Advantages
A Centralized Gear Management Solution for Athletic Departments
Vidir’s NFL-tested equipment storage extends well beyond football. These motorized systems
support a range of athletic and school departments — from hockey and lacrosse to marching
bands and cheerleading squads — anywhere large, wheeled trunks need secure, space-saving
storage. Unlike mobile shelving that requires floor rails, or wire caging that gets disorganized
fast, vertical storage uses air rights instead of floor space for a cleaner, faster equipment room.
MH-USA sizes and installs the Sports Equipment Storage Lift for university athletic departments,
professional and semi-professional franchises, and large high school programs across Utah and
nationwide, and can configure the lift to fit standardized trunk sizes already in use — no
need to buy new trunks or containers.
