VERTICAL CAROUSELS
Vertical carousel storage systems use your facility’s full ceiling height, delivering goods directly to an operator with minimal effort. By automating storage and retrieval, you reduce bending, walking, and reaching while improving picking speed and accuracy.
Common uses include:
- Order picking of small parts in distribution
- Storage of large or heavy items such as tires or auto parts
- Direct sortation into customer cartons
- Small parts picking in manufacturing environments
- Cleanroom and controlled‑environment storage

Vertical Lift Modules (VLMs)
Vertical Lift Module systems feature two rows of supports with trays moved by an automated elevator to a picking bay. These modular, high‑density systems maximize building height and can save up to 70% of your floor space. VLMs provide fast, controlled access to parts while improving organization and productivity.
Horizontal Carousels
Horizontal carousels are automated rotating shelf systems ideal for high‑speed picking, sortation, and inventory management. Their flexible design reduces labor costs and increases efficiency.
Popular applications include:
- Batch order picking
- Apparel, textile, or material storage
- Store replenishment and residual handling
- E‑commerce returns processing
- Order sortation for retail departments and aisles
Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs)
Moving goods manually can be labor‑intensive and costly. Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) provide a scalable, safe, and efficient way to transport materials and support assembly line operations. AGVs increase productivity and reduce labor expenses in facilities of any size.
Mini Load and Unit Load AS/RS Systems
Mini Load and Unit Load Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems (ASRS) handle individual loads, delivering them to and from storage racks or carousels. Loads are transferred to conveyor drop‑off stations for picking, packing, or shipping. Multiple drop‑off points enable fast, fully automated operations configured specifically for your workflow.
