A vertical carousel storage system is one approach to reduce time and space in your daily operations. If you work in the warehousing, manufacturing, distribution, retail, or automotive industries this system can help you in many ways. Vertical carousels are storage systems that are tailored to your space’s dimensions and layout. Horizontal and vertical carousel stores goods horizontally or vertically, depending on the type of system you pick, with automatic controls to make it easier to locate and obtain what you need.
Since they keep products properly secured off the floor, both horizontal and vertical carousel systems can contribute to reduced product damage and a safer workplace. They also reduce the need for employees to climb ladders to reach overhead storage. They are simple to operate and do not necessitate extensive training or computer systems. The carousel system rotates and adjusts with the touch of a button to provide you with easy access to the product you require.
Find out more about the various types of carousel storage systems, as well as which one is appropriate for your organisation.
Carousels usually come vertically or horizontally aligned. Your setup is determined by your specific requirements and available space:
Horizontal carousel storage systems are carousels that work similarly to shelving but move objects around a horizontal track automatically. You may be able to build a multi-level horizontal system depending on the manufacturer.
While all types of carousel systems have advantages, vertical carousel systems are very effective at reducing space and giving quick access. Vertical storage carousels are designed to move things around a vertically aligned track in a forward or backward motion. Many companies utilise vertical carousels instead of or in addition to industrial shelving. They’re perfect for small spaces as well as large warehouses looking to optimise their operations.
VCA provides vertical carousel storage solutions for a wide range of industries and applications. Consider one of the following storage options, depending on your company’s specific needs:
At big box stores, apparel merchants, warehouses, and production sites, vertical garment storage carousels are designed to accommodate clothing. This includes suits, coats, and gowns. They allow you to hang clothes instead of storing them, turn your stock room into a showcase and maintain items in perfect condition.
Vertical print cylinder storage carousels are used in the printing industry to keep printing plates on cylinders for rotary printing machines secure. Vertical carousels, as opposed to standard print cylinders, are easy to use and take up significantly less room.
Carpet, rugs, vinyl, and other fabrics or textiles are stored on roll storage carousels in-home retailers and carpet warehouses. They’re a terrific method to keep things off the floor while still making them accessible. Roll carousels shield delicate textiles from the effects of incorrect storage. They can also be used in a variety of situations, such as logistical fulfilment or car detailing.
Vertical spool carousels store enormous spools of thread, rope, chain, cords, wire, or anything else that requires reel-like storage and automated access. As a result, they’re a significant tool in auto shops, manufacturing plants, warehouses, and home improvement stores.
Large piles of tyres can be dangerous to workers, and they make it difficult to find and get the specific tyre you need. Tire storage carousels are designed specifically for tyre storage, making storage and retrieval at auto shops and tyre manufacturers more efficient. They can fit a variety of tyre sizes and types.
Vertical tray carousels store trays and bins to keep loose components, tools, and cables separated and organised. Tray carousels, as opposed to other types of storage, make it simple to find what you’re looking for without having to rummage through several containers or ascending ladders to reach high shelves.
Always follow manufacturer recommendations and adopt an ongoing preventative maintenance plan to preserve the longevity and functionality of your vertical storage or vertical carousel system. Never overload a system beyond its rated load limit.
What is the ideal carousel storage system for your business now that you know your options? The solution is contingent on your available space and company requirements. Consider the following factors while selecting a carousel storage system:
Measure the length and width of your available floor area, as well as the height of your ceiling. Horizontal storage carousels are good for spaces with low ceilings, while vertical carousels are ideal for tight spaces. Vertical Carousels Australia will assist you in customising the ideal vertical carousel for your layout.
Always consider a carousel’s load capacity before purchasing one for your business. What is the weight and size of the object you intend to store on average? Some products, such as tyres, need you to select a carousel that is specifically created for your product. Consider how packed the carousel will be during the peak of your activity when estimating your required load capacity.
The rate at which the system moves the item or container through the track for you to access is referred to as picking speed. Distribution, for example, necessitates faster pick speeds than other businesses. Consider how quickly you need to access objects during the busiest time of your workday when calculating picking speed.
You may be able to purchase one or more varieties of vertical storage carousels to serve various purposes around your office, depending on your needs and budget. Large-scale automotive centres, for example, frequently employ both a tyre and a spool carousel. Both vertical garment storage and roll storage carousels may be used by big-box merchants.
In your warehouse, retail store, automotive shop, or industrial plant, vertical storage carousels are the most efficient way to save time and space. VCA is a leading manufacturer of vertical storage carousels, and we’re happy to serve the Australian market. We can assist you in determining the optimal storage system for your business, regardless of industry or use.
