Why It Exists

Pneumatic Destackers
Are a Hidden Cost Center.

Most facilities don’t track what their pneumatic tote handling equipment actually costs to run. They should. Vers-E-Stax was built to replace that infrastructure with something simpler, faster, and cheaper to own.

Pneumatic Systems
The Old Way
  • Compressor and air dryer running continuously, whether you need it or not
  • Air lines, fittings, and cylinders that leak, wear, and fail
  • Speed constrained by cylinder stroke and air pressure
  • Tooling changes often require rebuilding the gripper assembly
  • Maintenance team has to understand two systems: pneumatics and controls
Vers-E-Stax
The Better Way
  • Servo-driven. Plug into 1-phase or 3-phase power and you’re done
  • No air lines. No cylinders. Far fewer things to fail or maintain
  • Up to 20 totes per minute with consistent, repeatable servo motion
  • Versatile tooling for quick tote size changes, no machine redesign needed
  • Compact footprint fits tight spaces and retrofit installations
Product Features

Engineered for the Floor,
Not Just the Demo.

01 /
All-Electric Servo

No pneumatics, no compressor, no air dryer. The Vers-E-Stax runs entirely on servo motion control. Plug into standard 1-phase or 3-phase power and you’re operational.

Zero air infrastructure
🚀
02 /
Up to 20 Totes / Min

High-speed servo motion delivers up to 20 totes per minute with repeatable, precise positioning. No waiting on cylinder pressure or reset times.

Consistent throughput

Quick-Change Tooling

Handle multiple tote sizes without a machine redesign. Versatile tooling allows fast changeovers so one Vers-E-Stax can serve multiple SKU formats.

Multi-format capable

Compact Footprint

Designed for real facilities with real constraints. The Vers-E-Stax fits into tight spaces and was engineered from the start for retrofit and brownfield installations.

Retrofit-ready design
🛠️
05 /
Minimal Maintenance

Fewer moving parts, no pneumatic consumables, and servo-driven components that are designed to run. Less to maintain means more uptime and lower total cost of ownership.

Lower TCO

Stack & Destack

The Vers-E-Stax handles both operations. Stack at the end of a line, destack at the front. One machine, two functions, without a separate piece of equipment for each.

💡
Custom Configurations Available

Vers-E-Stax can be configured for your specific tote dimensions, conveyor height, and integration requirements. Talk to us before you assume it won’t fit.

🔗
Integrates with Your Controls

The Vers-E-Stax is designed to integrate cleanly into existing conveyor lines and controls environments. CGT handles mechanical and controls in-house, so the integration is clean from the start.

📦
Designed for Real Facilities

Not a trade show concept. Engineered for production environments with real schedules, real operators, and real consequences when something stops running.

Who It’s For

A Good Fit If You’re Running…

🏬
E-Commerce Fulfillment

High-volume tote cycling at induction or sortation, where uptime and throughput rate are non-negotiable.

🏗️
Distribution Centers

Brownfield installations where adding a compressed air system isn’t practical or cost-effective.

🔄
Return Processing Lines

Variable tote formats handled through quick-change tooling without stopping the line for a gripper rebuild.

🏭
Manufacturing

In-process tote handling where clean electrical infrastructure matters more than air-driven solutions.
