The bottom drive carousel frame distributes loads uniformly over a large floor area without high concentrations near uprights. Less bracing is required, seismic stability better, and servicing is easier.

Structural Features

• Designed and manufactured in the United States, bottom drive carousels are perfect for heavier loads and higher duty cycles.
• Increased TBF (Time Between Failures), reduced maintenance requirements, superior floor load distribution, and equipment longevity are among the many benefits of the Bottom Drive design.
• Modular design permits easy installation, expansion or relocation.
• Units can be stacked without the need for a full mezzanine to make use of the total available ceiling height.

Bins

• White offers a wide variety of bin depths, heights, and widths, with adjustable, dust-free wire shelves that may be adjusted in moments to accommodate increased product density or changing inventory requirements.
• Special bin designs, and industry specific applications or containers can be accommodated.
• Unique bin design supports shelf loads from the two sides and the back. The payload (up to 2,500 lb) is then distributed through the bin base plate to the wheels and bottom track.
• Robust wheel and track configuration uses 4 inch diameter machined steel wheels and solid bar stock steel track. The concave wheels house larger bearings and produce lower track stresses for up to seven times the life of top drive wheels.

Motors and Controls

• AC and DC motors are available in single or dual drive configurations.
• Motors and controls meet NEC, ETL standards.
• Drives, located in the carousel base, allow for the lowest possible profile and provide a low center of gravity, requiring less bracing. Lubrication, preventative maintenance, and servicing can be done without ladders or hoists.
• Carousel controls range from a simple footswitch to software controls providing up to 950 picks per hour.
• Dual drive configurations utilizing torque tubes to couple top and bottom sprockets effectively form a "Quad Drive"; virtually eliminating the rocking and twisting action that can cause damage to wheels, tracks, and bins during high activity operations.
