This material handling storage system works in conjunction with software called an Automated Storage and Retrieval System (otherwise known as ASRS or AS/RS) and can be run both manually or automated using ASRS controls and software.Vertical Carousels store products on a vertically rotating track in either an open or enclosed space. They're often used for storing tires, carpets, spools, vinyl rolls and other large rolled goods, but can be utilized for product or part storage when lack of floor space is an issue.

How Can Vertical Carousels Help Me?

Vertical carousels store products or goods vertically, taking full advantage of overhead space, and can save you up to 70% more floor space when compared to conventional static storage. Operator productivity can be increased by as much as two-thirds by eliminating the old "walk, search, stock, store" method of order picking. These automated indoor storage carousels bring items to the picker via the shortest route possible and provide well-lit work areas, reducing worker fatigue and error – and you won't have to climb, stretch, or bend to retrieve items again.

SJF is an authorized nationwide distributor of White and Summit (J&D) carousels, as well as Royal, Kardex Lektriever Series 80, Kardex Remstar Shuttle XP 500, and more. We also provide custom carousel programming, carousel controls, and carousel installation and tear-out services. SJF sells both new and used vertical carousel systems, as well as new and used vertical lift modules (VLMs).
