How does the Kardex Horizontal Carousel work?

Optimize Your Warehouse with the Kardex Horizontal Carousel

The Kardex Horizontal Carousel delivers goods quickly and accurately, ensuring minimal handling and retrieval time. Each unit within a station operates simultaneously to provide continuous access and reduce waiting time.

Increase productivity with the simple push of a button. Split a pod of six units, operated by one worker, into three zones operated by three workers. During peak times, multiple workstations allow several workers to pick simultaneously, optimizing workflow efficiency.

The Kardex Horizontal Carousel is perfect for smaller buildings with low ceilings, as it optimizes the entire horizontal space of the warehouse. Storing items in a compact area (5 to 10 square meters) significantly reduces travel and picking times, enhancing overall efficiency.

Kardex offers tailored solutions to meet diverse industry requirements with a variety of layouts and workstations. Choose between dual, triple, quadruple, and multilevel workstations to fit your specific needs.
