Vertical Carousel Accessories & Options

Custom Carriers & Shelf Configurations

Every vertical carousel can be fitted with custom carriers designed for your specific inventory. Standard options include adjustable shelf dividers, tote-sized compartments, full-width pans, and specialized holders for irregularly shaped items.

Popular carrier configurations include:

• Adjustable shelf dividers — Create compartments of any size within each carrier level
• Wire mesh baskets — Ideal for small parts, fasteners, and loose components
• Tilt-shelf trays — Angled presentation for easy pick access in retail and pharmacy settings
• Hanging rod carriers — Garment-ready carriers for uniforms, costumes, and textile storage
• V-groove cradles — Secure cylindrical items like pipes, rolls, and bar stock
• Padded inserts — Protect delicate items like electronics, optics, and medical devices

Custom carriers are engineered to match your exact product dimensions, maximizing every cubic foot of vertical space.

Motorized Controls & Software Integration

Modern vertical carousels go far beyond simple up-down buttons. Advanced control systems transform your carousel into an automated picking station that integrates directly with your warehouse management system (WMS).

Control Options

• Touchscreen operator panels — Intuitive interface with item search, location mapping, and transaction logging
• Pick-to-light indicators — LED light bars direct operators to exact pick locations, reducing errors by up to 99%
• Barcode & RFID integration — Scan items in and out for real-time inventory accuracy
• Batch picking software — Queue multiple orders and optimize carousel rotation for minimal travel time
• Multi-carousel controllers — Coordinate 2-4 carousels from a single workstation for continuous picking

Software Connectivity

Vertical carousels integrate with all major WMS platforms including SAP, Oracle WMS, Manhattan Associates, Blue Yonder, and custom ERP systems via API or direct database connection.

Safety Enclosures & Guarding

Vertical carousel safety systems protect operators and inventory while maintaining fast access. OSHA-compliant safety accessories include:

• Light curtain sensors — Infrared curtains that stop carousel motion when an obstruction is detected in the access opening
• Safety enclosure panels — Steel or polycarbonate panels that enclose the carousel on all sides with a controlled access opening
• Emergency stop buttons — Clearly marked e-stop buttons at operator height and on control panels
• Interlocked access doors — Maintenance doors with safety interlocks that prevent operation when open
• Anti-tip sensors — Detect improperly loaded carriers before rotation to prevent jams and spills

All safety systems meet ANSI/ASME B20.1 conveyor safety standards and can be customized to meet facility-specific requirements.
