Vertical Carousels | Automated Industrial Vertical Storage
Southwest Solutions Group installs these motorized shelving systems from top manufacturers like Kardex. As a trusted provider of automated storage solutions, we help organizations in manufacturing, warehousing, and healthcare optimize how they manage small parts, supplies, and equipment.

Compact Storage for Fast-Paced Workflows
Vertical carousels use a rotating chain of carriers to manage inventory more efficiently. These systems bring items to a fixed access point at waist height, which improves ergonomics and eliminates wasted motion. With enclosed design and programmable controls, vertical carousels increase accuracy while reducing the footprint needed for storage.
Standard models can hold up to 1,433 pounds per carrier and reduce floor space use by as much as 85%. They're a great fit for shipping departments, parts storage, and maintenance rooms that need quick access to consistent item sizes.
- Paternoster-style vertical chain design
- Automated tray delivery to ergonomic height
- Ideal for small parts and tools
- Forward/reverse directional control
- Enclosed footprint for security and cleanliness
Advanced Automation for Complex Inventories
Modern vertical carousel systems include user-friendly touchscreens, LED pick guidance, and integration with warehouse management software. These tools help reduce picking errors, support batch-picking, and maintain inventory visibility at all times.
Operators can scan items, log transactions automatically, and even connect systems to conveyors or robotics. With support for RFID, cleanroom, and fire-safety configurations, these carousels serve highly regulated environments like electronics, aerospace, and pharmaceuticals.
- Multi-touch control interfaces
- Pick-to-light or LED location indicators
- WMS/ERP system integration
- Optional RFID, fire safety, and cleanroom compliance
- Supports batch-picking workflows
Specialized Solutions for Unique Applications
Some facilities need vertical storage solutions for niche applications such as drying buffers, SMD reel storage, or staging in-process inventory. With FIFO rotation and flexible bin layouts, these systems ensure product freshness and traceability. Specialized inserts and dividers keep small items separated and protected, while software enforces correct picking sequences.
These carousel systems are a smart fit for clean manufacturing zones, labs, or facilities with semi-finished products requiring precise handling and separation.
- FIFO-compliant rotation and sorting
- Dividers and bins for small components
- Integrated tracking for traceability
- Supports in-process staging or drying tasks
- Cleanroom and electronics-ready configurations
