How Vertical Carousels Work

White’s vertical carousels automate the storage and retrieval of small to medium-sized items using a rotating shelving system, saving time and space in your facility.

Here’s how it works:

  1. The operator selects an item using a touchscreen or software interface
  2. The carousel rotates internally to bring the correct shelf to an ergonomic access point
  3. The item is retrieved at waist-height, guided by lights or indicators for speed and accuracy

This process minimizes walking, improves picking accuracy, and ensures safe, efficient access to stored goods.

Vertical storage case study

“White MiniVert Vertical carousels are designed to increase storage density and ergonomically deliver items. The carousels are 6 ½ feet tall and 7 feet wide, storing a large number items in a very small floor footprint. The rotating shelves bring items to the operator and a pick-to-light system guides associates to accurately pick candies. An integrated weighing system allows operators to accurately weigh bulk items prior to packaging. The carousels were sized so labor capacity could be optimized inside the current mix room area, which was limited due to low ceiling heights. Inventory and supply tracking software was implemented for greater business efficiencies.”
