POWERdepot™ Vertical Carousel

Vertical storage systems that maximize space, efficiency and productivity


The POWERdepot™ Vertical Carousel is our leading edge vertical storage system that delivers maximized space utilization, efficiency and productivity in all types of applications, including small parts and tool storage. We've taken all of the benefits of vertical carousel technology and powered them up to the next level!

  • Because walking and searching times are significantly reduced, your picking productivity can be increased up to 2.5 times.

  • Our industry exclusive dual-chain guidance system provides for maximum cube utilization, multiple carrier depths, multiple carrier clear heights and widths, all in combination with a maximum carrier capacity of up to 2,200 lbs.

  • 100% out-of-balance capabilities allow carrier profiling to be dictated by the user and not the restrictions of the carousel capacity.

  • Vertical carousels provide significant space savings over traditional static storage solutions - the increase in storage density can result in floor space recovery of more than 75%!

  • The POWERdepot has the largest shelf capacity in the industry - carrier widths of up to 19' increase your productivity and product accessibility by taking what would normally require two units and placing it into one larger unit.

  • Dual-motor drive enables greater width capabilities and provides redundancy for continuous up-time

  • Our automated storage and retrieval systems are easily interfaced with many warehouse management systems or other host architectures, including the DiamondWare™ suite of software.

Typical Configurations for the Vertical Carousel

Wide Choice of Carrier Configurations

Productivity

  • Materials delivered directly to operator, minimizing walking, climbing, bending or reaching for heavy objects
  • Pass-through design eliminates time consuming transport of items from floor to floor
  • Point-of-use design keeps parts closer to the operation, eliminates trips to cribs or stock rooms
  • Dual-access option for versatile multi-operator use, both front and rear or on multiple floors

Space Utilization

  • All available vertical height is utilized, reducing floor space requirements
  • Under-used racks, shelves, and cabinets are eliminated
  • Aisles are cleared of clutter
  • Carriers can include shelves, dividers, 100% extendable pull-out drawers and drawer divider systems to create discrete storage locations with a single carrier

Control

  • Pick product by carrier number of part number
  • Shortest path retrieval system speeds picking efficiency
  • Host interface capability for advanced inventory management and control
  • Manual carrier job buttons to override automated machine control

Safety & Ergonomics

  • No more risk of injury from climbing up and down ladders to retrieve heavy or bulky boxes
  • A wealth of state-of-the-art safety features like photo-eyes, upper/lower pressure limit switches, maintenance door limit switch, e-stops and motor overload sensors
  • All materials are delivered to operators at ergonomically correct waist high position, reducing potential back injuries
  • Optional 12" work counter enables picking while product is out of carrier or can provide a place to rest product while waiting to be loaded

Productivity

  • Parts are protected from patriculates inside a fully enclosed system
  • Organized storage of raw materials and finished product is possible within the same unit
  • System is easily operated by both trained or new personnel
