Universal carriers from KardexRemstar International Inc. provide KardexRemstar vertical carousels a flexibility of design that makes them easily adaptable in meeting changing storage and retrieval requirements.
Vertical carousel carriers are available in a range of heights, widths and depths to meet any parts storage requirement and can be configured to hold a variety of container sizes. For example, they can be fitted with dividers and adjustable dividers to maximize space utilization. One or more shelves can be added to each carrier to achieve maximum storage density. Rollout drawers can store a variety of small parts and give operators easy access to the rear of storage trays. Options can be combined to create a customized storage system for applications, and can be quickly and economically re-configured when requirements change.
Vertical carousels provide quick access to parts via a system of vertically arranged rotating carriers that bring the exact pick/store position to the operator. Stored items are delivered within the user's easy reach, minimizing bending, reaching and lifting that reduces picking efficiency and can lead to on-the-job injuries. Productivity can often increase by more than 2.5 times when compared with traditional small parts and bulky bin shelving.
Vertical carousels also offer improved space utilization. Depending on useable building interior ceiling heights, up to 75 percent of a conventional storage system's occupied floor space can be recovered.
