White Intelligent Storage Horizontal Carousels

White Intelligent Storage Horizontal Carousels

For over 50 years, we have been selling and servicing Horizontal Carousels, offering an efficient and reliable solution for your storage needs. Our Horizontal Carousels feature rotating bins, a closed-loop horizontal track, inventory control software, and barcode scanning for precise and organized storage.

Items are placed onto bins or shelves, which are then loaded onto the track system and assigned specific locations within the carousel. The carousel’s computerized control system determines the location of the requested item and rotates the carousel to bring the desired bin or shelf to the retrieval position. After the items are retrieved, the carousel rotates back to its original position, ensuring that the storage space is maximized and the items are organized efficiently.

What White Horizontal Carousels Do

White Intelligent Storage Horizontal Carousels automate the storage and retrieval of small to medium-sized items using a high-speed, rotating bin system. Designed to improve operational efficiency and reduce labor, these systems deliver fast ROI — often within 12 months. With high throughput rates (up to 500 lines picked per operator per hour), they maximize productivity while optimizing floor space.

The closed-loop track system brings stored items to the operator at an ergonomic access point, minimizing walking and manual steps. Carousels integrate easily with WMS, ERP, and MRP systems, making them ideal for fulfillment, manufacturing, and inventory-heavy environments where accuracy and space efficiency are critical.

Horizontal Carousel Case Study

“White Intelligent Storage horizontal carousels aredesigned to quickly and ergonomically deliver items to the operator. Horizontal carousels were installed, allowing for the storage of over 16,000 SKU’s and 850,000 items. The carousels were designed in podsso labor capacity is optimized. The operator initiates picking with the use of a hand held RF transmitter.The carousels position themselves and a light tree indicates the location and quantity of the first SKU tobe picked. Inventory and supply tracking software was also implemented so picks can be scanned to check the SKU numbers against the order for greater accuracy and efficiencies.”
