White developed and pioneered the carousel concept from its inception. Today White is still the leader! Our horizontal carousels are more advanced, cost-efficient and reliable than ever.
The only manufacturer with bottom drive carousels for heavy loads, top drive carousels for lighter and standard loads, twin bin carousels for high-density, small parts storage, and pallet carousels for picking, buffering, and building split-pallet loads. Both bottom-drive and top-drive carousels to handle the full range of applications, White has led the industry in innovation, solving the toughest challenges.
A horizontal carousel is an automated storage and retrieval device consisting of a series of shelving sections (bins) mounted on a horizontal, closed-loop oval track. When activated, the bins rotate to bring requested items to the operator or automated picker.
Horizontal Carousel Benefits
Labor Productivity
Gains up to 800% over the use of conventional shelving and racks are accomplished by eliminating wasted walk and search time.
Inventory Accuracy
By providing accurate and timely inventory data, both the inventory levels and shortages can be reduced dramatically
Space Reduction
The carousels recover lost floor space by achieving the same storage capacity in 30% less space than with static shelving.
Fast Payback (ROI)
Increased efficiencies allow companies to recover their investment within 12-18 months.
High Throughput
Picking rates up to 500 lines per hour, per operator allow a single worker to be as productive as eight workers picking from static shelving.
Extended cut-off times
Orders can be prioritized by computer based on shipping times and thus increases the ability to ship more orders in a day.
Improved Service to your Customers
Flexibility and efficiency expands your capacity to provide your customer what they want, when they want it and how they want it. Integrating inventory control software, light directed picking, and bar code scanning assures up to 99.9% accuracy.
Equipment Reliability
Durable and well engineered, White’s carousels provide nearly 100% uptime. With the largest and only dedicated service engineering team in the material handling industry.
