A vertical carousel is an automated storage and retrieval device consisting of a series of carriers (pans) mounted on a vertical closed-loop oval track, inside a metal enclosure. When activated, the pans rotate to bring requested items to the operator.
Vertical carousels enable a relatively large inventory to be directed to a picker at one fixed location. By eliminating bending, stretching, and climbing, vertical carousels produce a more efficient "parts to picker" instead of "picker to parts" workflow.
Leading companies use White's vertical carousels to increase storage density, throughput, and material handling efficiency while reducing inventory losses and labor costs. They efficiently deliver product to the operator, yielding a low-floor-space way of storing, securing, and retrieving anything from letter and legal sized documents to small parts and tools.
