What is the maximum height and capacity of a Vertical Carousel Module?

KenWei Vertical Carousel Modules can be customized up to 80 meters in height with a total load capacity of up to 28,000 kg (500 kg per carrier).

How does a Horizontal Carousel Module differ?

Horizontal Carousels rotate on a horizontal track, making them ideal for facilities with lower ceilings. They can be grouped into 'pods' for high-frequency order picking.

Can these systems integrate with WMS/ERP?

Yes, our systems feature seamless integration with major ERP and WMS platforms for real-time inventory tracking and reporting.

Are KenWei carousels safe for operators?

Safety is paramount. Our systems include safety light curtains, automatic doors, and emergency stop buttons to ensure zero-risk operation.

What industries benefit most from Vertical Carousel systems?

Electronics, pharmaceuticals, automotive spare parts, and e-commerce distribution centers see the highest ROI.

Can I have a temperature-controlled environment inside the carousel?

Yes, we offer specialized climate-controlled configurations for temperature and humidity-sensitive items.

How much floor space can be saved?

By utilizing vertical height, you can reclaim up to 60-80% of your current floor space compared to static racking.

Does the system support Barcode and Pick-to-Light technologies?

Absolutely. Integrated barcode scanners and LED indicator lights guide operators to the exact location for 100% picking accuracy.

What is the installation timeframe?

Our engineering team can typically complete the commissioning and installation process within 3-5 days.

Vertical Carousel Automated Storage Systems: Optimize Every Inch

Q: What is a Vertical Carousel Automated Storage System?

A Vertical Carousel is an automated storage system (AS/RS) that rotates carriers in a vertical loop, utilizing the 'goods-to-person' principle to deliver items directly to the operator.

KenWei’s Vertical Carousel systems are the ultimate space-saving solution designed to ensure high efficiency, improve productivity, and enhance inventory organization. By transforming underutilized overhead space into a high-performance Automated Storage and Retrieval System (AS/RS), we help you maximize capacity on a minimal footprint.

What is a Vertical Carousel Automated Storage System?

A Vertical Carousel is a sophisticated AS/RS that utilizes vertical space to provide high-density storage. Functioning like a vertical Ferris wheel, carriers rotate via a chain drive to deliver goods directly to an ergonomic access window. This “goods-to-person” principle eliminates wasted search time and significantly boosts warehouse throughput.

Core Categories: Vertical vs. Horizontal Carousel Modules

Based on your facility’s layout and orientation, we offer two industry-leading carousel technologies:

Vertical Carousel Module (VCM)

The perfect solution for facilities with high ceilings. It converts unused overhead space into productive storage by moving carriers in a vertical loop.

Custom Height: Up to 80 meters.
Load Capacity: Up to 28,000 kg total (500 kg per carrier).
Best For: Maximizing cubic storage in limited floor areas.

Horizontal Carousel Module (HCM)

Designed for facilities with lower ceiling heights. Carriers rotate on a horizontal track, creating a high-speed picking environment.

Scalability: Group multiple units into “pods” managed by one operator.
Dimensions: 5.9 to 46.7 meters in length.
Payload: Up to 300 kg per carrier (up to 120 carriers total).

Customize Your Vertical Carousel with Advanced Options

Warehouse Management (WMS)

Seamlessly integrate your Vertical Carousel systems with existing ERP for real-time inventory control and detailed reporting.

Barcode & Labeling
