Vertical, Horizontal, & Rotary Carousels
Bastian takes pride in being able to furnish a great variety of custom industrial carousels to meet your precise requirements. Our many years of experience designing and integrating industrial carousels into a material handling system means you'll be up and running quicker and faster.
Bastian provides industrial carousels to increase storage density, throughput, and efficiency while reducing inventory, and man-hours.
Horizontal Carousels
A horizontal carousel is an automated storage and retrieval device comprised of a series of bins mounted to a horizontal, closed-loop oval track. When a product is needed, the bins rotate, bringing the requested item directly to the operator.
Vertical Carousels
A vertical carousel is an automated storage and retrieval device comprised of a series of shelves mounted to a vertical, closed-loop oval track inside a metal enclosure. When a product is needed, the shelves rotate, bringing the requested item directly to the operator.
Rotary Carousels
A rotary carousel is a series of stacked circular bins that rotate around a central mast. When a product is needed, the bins rotate, bringing the requested item directly to the operator.
Vertical Lift Modules (VLM)
A Vertical Lift Modules are a hybrid Automated Storage and Reterival Sysytem and carousel technology used to deliver product directly to the operator. As a micro ASRS, VLM's utilize your vertical cube space while minimizing floor space/footprint to store, secure, and retrieve anything from small parts to fixtures and tools.
How Carousels Work
A carousel is an automated storage and retrieval device using a series of shelving units mounted on a closed-loop track. When commanded, the shelves will rotate along the track to bring items to the operator.
