Software

We offer a range of warehouse management software solutions designed to support everything from small, growing operations through to highly advanced warehouse environments.

Automated storage systems need robust software behind them.

Whether you’re running a vertical carousel or a vertical lift, the software ties everything together, controlling movement, managing stock, and helping your team work faster and with fewer errors.

At a basic level, the system software controls the machine and brings the right item to the operator. But in most operations, it goes much further than that. Good software turns a storage system into a practical tool for day-to-day work, helping you keep track of stock, guide picking, and reduce manual processes.

No two businesses run the same way. The right setup depends on how you store, pick, and manage your stock.

We’ll work with you to make sure the system and the software behind it fit into your existing processes, rather than forcing you to change the way you work.

If you’re looking to improve accuracy, reduce manual handling, or better connect your storage with your wider systems, speak with our team about software options for your vertical storage system.

Secondhand Vertical Carousels

Secondhand Vertical Carousels

At Vertical Carousels, we’re regularly in touch with businesses upgrading, relocating, or reconfiguring their storage systems. This gives us access to a steady flow of well-maintained vertical carousels that are still performing exactly as they should - they simply need a new application.

We don’t sell all replacement vertical storage systems that come our way. Every machine is subjected to a detailed review by our team, thoroughly checked, and serviced as needed. If a second-hand vertical carousel or a used vertical lift machine meets our standards, then we make it available for purchase. 

For many businesses, it’s a practical way to increase storage capacity, improve picking efficiency, or get started with automation sooner, without waiting on lead times or stretching the budget.

Why Used Vertical Carousels Become Available

Most used systems come back onto the market for practical reasons, not because there’s anything wrong with them. Common situations include:

1

Businesses upgrading to larger or higher-capacity systems

2

Warehouse moves or relocations

3

Changes in product lines or storage requirements

4

Site consolidations or operational changes

Our Refurbishment & Review Proces

Every used carousel we supply is carefully checked before it leaves us. This typically includes:

  • Full mechanical inspection
  • Electrical testing and system checks
  • Safety inspections to ensure compliance
  • Replacement of any worn or critical components where required
  • Final testing and commissioning prior to handover

Stock changes regularly, and the best machines don’t hang around for long. If you’re considering a used vertical carousel, it’s worth having a conversation - we’ll let you know what’s available and whether it’s the right fit for your setup.

Vertical Carousels

Vertical Carousels are a simple, reliable way to maximise storage without expanding your footprint. By using the full height of your facility, they bring stored items directly to the operator, reducing wasted time, improving accuracy, and making better use of available space.

Designed for fast, consistent picking, vertical carousels are well-suited to environments where efficiency and organisation are critical.

A vertical carousel consists of a series of carriers or shelves that rotate within an enclosed system. At the push of a button, the carousel automatically brings the required item to an ergonomic picking position.

There’s no need to walk aisles or search for stock; the system delivers it to you.

Vertical Carousels Benefits

1. Maximise Space
Utilise unused vertical height and reduce floor space requirements.

2. Faster Picking
Items are delivered directly to the operator, reducing travel time.

3. Improved Accuracy
Organised storage and controlled access help minimise picking errors.

4. Better Organisation
Everything has a defined location, making stock easier to manage.

5. Enhanced Safety
Less manual handling and reduced need for ladders or forklifts.

Typical characteristics of vertical carousels

  • Fixed shelf heights
  • Rotating mechanical chain system
  • Best suited for uniform product sizes
  • Commonly used for files, light parts and small inventory
Vertical carousels suit many applications, but they’re not the only option. Our Vertical Lift systems offer greater flexibility for certain storage needs.

Vertical Lift

Turn unused ceiling height into valuable storage space. Vertical Lift systems can free up to 90% of your existing floor space, giving you room to grow without expanding your footprint.

The Vertical Lift is a versatile automated storage system built to handle everything from small parts to heavy components in busy warehouse environments across a wide range of industries. With multiple size options and flexible storage capacities, there is a Vertical Lift Machine (Vertical Lift Module) to suit your needs. Vertical Lifts can be configured to suit almost any operational requirement.

Capable of handling up to 120 tray deliveries per hour, with individual tray loads of up to 990 kg, the system delivers enhanced productivity.

By utilising vertical space, the Vertical Lift can reduce floor space usage by up to 90%, while boosting operational efficiency by 2-3 times and achieving near-perfect picking accuracy.
