"Vertical carousels are rotating shelves on a chain-driven carriage that move up or down on response to your commands. They deliver items at a convenient access window to make picking, packing or assembly faster and more ergonomic. You can also choose vertical lift modules for a more configurable option. Contact us to find out more about how carousels can work for you."

Since these carousels deliver materials directly to operators, they minimize walking, climbing, bending, searching, or reaching for inventory. These systems utilize a pass-through design that eliminates time consuming transport of items from floor to floor. Point-of-use design keeps parts closer to the operation, eliminates trips to cribs or stock rooms, since a space-saving carousel can be placed much closer to production areas or pick modules. Dual-access options are available for versatile multi-operator use, both front and rear or on multiple floors. This provides a tremendous amount of flexibility.
Carousels offer many concrete benefits, including:
Product protection is also a factor with vertical carousels, which enclose your load in a dust cover protection panel system that minimizes dust and particulates in product storage. This reduces housekeeping and plant maintenance burdens.
Because of its minimal footprint, a vertical carousel provides the same amount of storage space as multiple rows of traditional shelving or modular drawers or carton flow racks, for that matter. In this scenario, a standard vertical system saves over 1,400 square feet of expensive floor space for other uses. And you also get the automation, security, and accuracy/throughput increases along with that extra space.
