Vertical Carousel Storage for Paint & Industrial Coatings
Paint can carousels that store, organize, and dispense up to 1,148 gallons of paint in a single compact unit. Semi-automated or fully automated systems for paint stores, body shops, industrial painting, and maintenance operations.
Paint Can Carousel Storage Systems
Paint and coatings inventory takes up enormous floor space when stored on traditional shelving — rows of heavy gallon cans that are difficult to organize, difficult to access, and prone to damage from stacking. A paint can carousel stores up to 1,148 cans of 1-gallon paint vertically in a compact footprint, delivering any can to the operator at working height with the push of a button.
Available in semi-automated and fully automated configurations, paint carousels are designed specifically for the weight, dimensions, and handling requirements of paint containers. They utilize overhead space for maximum storage density while keeping every can organized, visible, and instantly accessible.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many paint cans can a carousel store?
Standard paint can carousel models accommodate up to 1,148 cans of 1-gallon paint. Larger or smaller can sizes affect total capacity. Multiple units can be installed for higher volumes.
Can the carousel handle quarts and 5-gallon pails?
The carousel is designed primarily for 1-gallon cans but can be configured with different carrier sizes to accommodate quarts, gallons, and other container sizes. 5-gallon pails typically require a different carrier configuration.
Is the carousel suitable for automotive paint?
Yes. Auto body shops use paint carousels to organize automotive paint, primers, clearcoats, hardeners, and reducers. The organized storage reduces waste and speeds color matching.
How does the carousel prevent paint from expiring?
FIFO (first-in, first-out) inventory management ensures older stock is dispensed before newer stock. Combined with location tracking, this prevents paint from sitting forgotten on back shelves past its shelf life.
