Flawless Wine & Spirits Presentation. Maximum Bottle Facings.
The Gentle SloMo™ Pusher for Premium Bottles & Fast Planogram Resets.
Display your wine, champagne, and spirits in an eye-catching presentation that invites shoppers to pick them up. POS-T SuperVario SloMo automatically glides heavy bottles forward with whisper-quiet mechanical damping—maximizing facings, slashing manual facing labor by 70%, protecting boutique labels, and adapting to any bottle size in seconds with tool-free one-finger width adjustment.
Deep Gondola Shelves Hide High-Margin Bottles and Waste Valuable Labor Hours
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
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 pushers slam heavy glass bottles together, chipping foil capsules and scuffing delicate labels.
- Shoppers reach deep into dark shelves, knocking over adjacent bottles and causing expensive glass breakage.
- Planogram resets take hours because traditional dividers require measuring, unbolting, and re-spacing hardware.
- Slanted gravity feed shelves sacrifice valuable vertical clearance, cutting a full shelf tier per bay.
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. Protects delicate foil capsules and boutique labels while eliminating bottle wobble during front-aisle restocking.
One-Finger Stepless Width Adjustment with Zero Tools
The SuperVario system adapts to your changing wine catalog in seconds. Swap from slender dessert flutes to wide Champagne bottles without removing fixtures or ordering replacement dividers.
Patented SloMo Mechanical Damping
An internal sealed mechanical spring brake controls forward velocity. Heavy 25.4 oz to 42.3 oz / 750 ml to 1.25 L bottles glide softly forward in a controlled ~1 second glide, eliminating shock and glass impact.
Stepless 2.09″ to 3.82″ Width
Insert one finger into the central channel slot to expand or contract width from 2.09″ to 3.82″ (53 to 97 mm). Integrated friction retention locks the exact width instantly without tools, even with stock in the channel.
Modular Breakable Depth
Pre-notched snap break points every 1.0″ (25 mm) let store teams size channels cleanly for 16″, 18″, 20″, and 22″ gondola shelves. Two base models cover depths from 14.96″ to 22.83″ (380 to 580 mm).
Selecting the Correct Spring Force: Why Wine & Spirits Uses Calibrated 10 to 14 Newton
Calibrating spring push force to product weight and environment is essential for smooth operation and product safety.
Wine & Spirits: 10 to 14 Newton SloMo
Heavy 750 ml to 1.25 L glass bottles on ambient dry shelving need 10–14 N of spring force to push the queue reliably. The SloMo gear damper absorbs spring rebound, eliminating bottle impact shock.
Chilled Coolers vs. Lightweight Cans & PET
Cooler Glass Bottles: 10 to 18 Newton SloMo (Item 30014497 / 30014498)
Chilled cases require 10–18 N to push through cold moisture friction drag.
Cans & PET: 2 to 9 Newton (Item 30014159 / 30014160)
Lightweight containers require lower spring force to prevent crushing thin aluminum walls.

Everything Category Teams Ask Before Specifying
How does the SloMo mechanism ensure smooth forward movement for heavy wine and spirits bottles?
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.
How quickly can store staff adjust channel width during planogram resets?
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.
How many wine and spirits bottles fit in the smaller and longer track versions?
Usable channel depth equals total track depth minus 1.77 in / 45 mm (pusher head base):
- 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).
- 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).
What shelf depths are supported by the SuperVario Wine & Spirits system?
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.
What spring force is calibrated for wine and spirits bottles?
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.
How does the SuperVario mount to metal gondolas, wood shelves, and wire racks?
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.
