**Distributor:** ExpoShelf — authorized POS Tuning distributor for Canada and the US (Metro Vancouver, BC)

## Overview

The POS-T SuperVario SloMo is a precision-engineered shelf pusher system designed specifically for wine and spirits in commercial retail aisles and center-store shelving. Featuring stepless one-finger width adjustment from 2.09″ to 3.82″ (53 to 97 mm) and a patented SloMo™ mechanical gear damper (Soft-Stop Controlled Glide), the system gently guides heavy 25.4 oz to 42.3 oz (750 ml to 1.25 L) bottles forward to the shelf edge. It eliminates dark shadows and perceived out-of-stocks, protects delicate boutique labels and foil capsules, and cuts manual shelf grooming labor by up to 70%.

## The Problem It Solves

Wine and spirits represent some of retail's highest-margin SKUs, but standard retail gondolas work against premium merchandising. As shoppers take front bottles, remaining inventory slides backward into dark shadows, triggering false out-of-stock impressions and lost sales:

- **Dark Shadows & Lost Impulse Buys:** Recessed bottles lose ambient lighting, making labels unreadable and reducing impulse purchases by up to 15%.
- **Expensive Manual Shelf Grooming:** Store associates spend 30 to 45 minutes per bay daily pulling bottles forward and straightening irregular rows.
- **Rigid Dividers Stall Resets:** Fixed-width wire racks require disassembling entire bays just to accommodate a wider Champagne or Bourbon SKU.
- **Damage from Abrupt Snap Springs:** Uncontrolled conventional pushers slam heavy glass bottles together, chipping foil capsules and scuffing delicate boutique labels.
- **Shoppers Knocking Over Bottles:** Shoppers reach deep into dark shelves, knocking over adjacent bottles and causing expensive glass breakage.
- **Lost Vertical Clearance:** Slanted gravity feed shelves sacrifice valuable vertical clearance (10°–15° forward tilt), cutting a full shelf tier per bay.

## The Solution

Patented SloMo Mechanical Gear Governor Meets One-Finger Width Agility.

The POS-T SuperVario SloMo delivers flawless wine aisle presentation through German precision engineering, pairing a calibrated 10 to 14 Newton spring with a patented precision mechanical spring brake.

1. **Patented SloMo™ Mechanical Deceleration (Soft-Stop Controlled Glide):** When a bottle is removed, the engineered plastic gear damper acts as a smooth spring brake. Bottles advance in a smooth ~1 second motion, docking softly at the front stop with zero impact shock or clattering.
2. **One-Finger Stepless Width (53–97 mm):** Pull the central slot with one finger to adapt lane width on the fly from slender 2.75″ (70 mm) dessert flutes to 3.62″ (92 mm) Champagne bases and 3.82″ (97 mm) craft bourbon carafes without tools.
3. **Elevated 4.06″ (103 mm) Guidance Sidewalls:** Deep full-profile sidewalls keep tall, top-heavy bottles completely upright, protecting delicate foil capsules and labels while eliminating bottle wobble.

## Key Features

- **Patented SloMo Mechanical Damping:** Internal sealed mechanical spring brake controls forward velocity with zero impact shock.
- **Stepless 2.09″ to 3.82″ (53–97 mm) Width:** 1-finger tool-free width adjustment with friction-lock retention.
- **Modular Breakable Depth:** Pre-notched snap break points every 1.0″ (25 mm) for clean sizing to 16″, 18″, 20″, and 22″ gondolas.
- **Full 4.06″ (103 mm) Sidewalls:** Complete vertical stability for tall bottles; eliminates label scuffing and bottle wobble.
- **100% Flat Horizontal Shelf Mounting:** Eliminates the 10°–15° angle of gravity feed tracks, gaining up to 1 extra shelf tier per bay.
- **15-Second Snap-Off Resets:** Lift full loaded channels directly off the rail to reconfigure planograms without unloading product.
- **Multi-Surface Compatibility:** Mounts to metal, wood, glass, or wire shelves via universal Adapter-T Rails (A003).

## Bottle Format Compatibility

- **Slender Flutes & Whites (2.09″–2.83″ / 53–72 mm):** Riesling, Pinot Grigio, Sauvignon Blanc, Ice Wine, and dessert wines fit firmly without swaying or tipping sideways.
- **Bordeaux & Burgundy (2.91″–3.31″ / 74–84 mm):** Traditional 25.4 oz / 750 ml Cabernet, Merlot, Pinot Noir, and Chardonnay bottles glide straight forward with 100% planogram alignment.
- **Champagne & Sparkling (3.31″–3.62″ / 84–92 mm):** Wide-base Champagne, Prosecco, and Cava bottles sit securely in widened channels with zero side friction.
- **Bourbon, Whiskey & Spirits (2.56″–3.82″ / 65–97 mm):** Heavy square bourbon carafes, scotch whiskey, artisanal gin, tequila, and liqueur bottles up to 42.3 oz / 1.25 L push evenly with full sidewall guidance.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**Q: How does the SloMo mechanism ensure smooth forward movement for heavy wine and spirits bottles?**  
A: Standard spring pushers can snap forward abruptly when a front bottle is removed. The POS-T SuperVario SloMo integrates a specially engineered plastic spring brake directly into the pusher mechanism. When a bottle is removed, the damper absorbs spring impulse and acts as a speed governor, advancing the remaining bottles in a controlled, smooth ~1 second glide that halts softly at the front stop with zero impact shock.

**Q: How quickly can store staff adjust channel width during planogram resets?**  
A: The SuperVario features stepless one-finger width adjustment from 2.09 to 3.82 in / 53 to 97 mm. Store associates can reconfigure lane widths in seconds with zero tools, swapping from a narrow Riesling flute to a wide Burgundy, Champagne, or artisanal bourbon bottle instantly—even with stock loaded in the channel.

**Q: How many wine and spirits bottles fit in the smaller and longer track versions?**  
A: Usable channel depth equals total track depth minus 1.77 in / 45 mm (pusher head base). The 18.90 in / 480 mm track provides 17.12 in / 435 mm net usable depth and holds 5 standard 750 ml wine bottles (75–82 mm diameter). The 22.83 in / 580 mm track provides 21.06 in / 535 mm net usable depth and holds 7 standard 750 ml wine bottles, 6 standard spirits bottles (85 mm), or 5 large-format bottles (95 mm).

**Q: What shelf depths are supported by the SuperVario Wine & Spirits system?**  
A: The system is depth-variable and covers shelf depths from 14.96 to 22.83 in / 380 to 580 mm. Standard models come in 14.96 to 18.90 in / 380 to 480 mm (Part #30014148, shortens down to 380 mm) and 18.90 to 22.83 in / 480 to 580 mm (Part #30014149, shortens down to 480 mm), featuring pre-notched snap breaks every 1.0 in / 25 mm for tool-free sizing to any retail gondola bay.

**Q: What spring force is calibrated for wine and spirits bottles?**  
A: For standard dry shelving wine and spirits glass packaging (750 ml to 1.25 L), SuperVario is calibrated with a 10 to 14 Newton spring force paired with the SloMo mechanical gear damper. This delivers the exact force needed to advance heavy bottle queues smoothly without pushing too hard against the front fence.

**Q: How does the SuperVario mount to metal gondolas, wood shelves, and wire racks?**  
A: The SuperVario system mounts using universal POS-T Adapter-T Rails (A003), available in custom lengths in two dedicated variants: (1) for standard flat shelves (metal, wood, or glass) with reusable adhesive tape that can be repositioned multiple times, and (2) for wire shelves with heavy-duty snap clips that attach securely without tools or tape.
