Vertical Carousel (Rotar)
Goods-to-man paternoster for small parts and accessories — maximum efficiency, minimum footprint.
A vertical carousel is a rotating paternoster of carriers inside an enclosed cabinet: the operator calls an item and the carousel turns it to a single waist-height workstation. Rotar models store 2 to 3 tonnes with 120 kg per carrier, rotate at about 6 m/min, and reach 5,460 mm high — ideal for small parts, tools and pharmaceuticals.
Built for What Rotar Delivers to Your Operation
Space
A compact cabinet footprint replaces several runs of shelving, using building height instead of floor.
Productivity
Fast retrieval to one ergonomic workstation — no walking, no bending, no ladders.
Protection
Lockable shutter keeps stock free from dust, light and humidity, and restricts access to authorised pickers.
Safety
Light curtain at the opening stops rotation the moment an operator reaches in.
