Horizontal/vertical carousels are high-density storage devices designed to use vertical storage space and increase the ease and accuracy of order/parts picking. Carousels operate by moving bins along a horizontal or vertical axis. The operator remains at a fixed input/output location while the designated load travels to the operator. Loads can be tracked with an inventory management system. Carousels are offered in many standard sizes or can be customized as required. Although generally used for lighter loads (less than 50 pounds per bin), custom designed carousels can handle loads up to 2,000 pounds. Horizontal carousels are available with up to 100 bins with an overall length of 60 feet. Vertical carousels are available with heights up to 25 feet.
