White Systems' Horizontal Carousels

White Systems' Horizontal Carousels

A Proven Solution for High-Access Storage Environments

White Systems’ Horizontal Carousels provide fast, repeatable access to stored inventory in specific applications where frequent access and consistent uptime matter most. Using a closed-loop track and rotating bins, items are delivered directly to the operator—reducing walking, searching, and strain.

Where Horizontal Carousels Are a Good Fit

  • Frequent access to small or medium-sized items

  • Fixed layouts where vertical height is limited

  • Stable inventory profiles with predictable picking patterns

Common environments include healthcare & hospital pharmacies, manufacturing support areas, and government or military operations.

(For higher storage density, easier scalability, or evolving inventory needs, vertical storage systems are often a better fit.)

Key Capabilities

  • Rotating bins deliver inventory directly to the operator

  • Closed-loop track supports smooth, continuous motion

  • Integrated inventory software and barcode scanning

  • Compatibility with WMS, ERP, and MRP systems

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.
