Top drive carousels hang bins from an overhead rail and place the drive components on top of the rail above the bins. The carousels are available with either single or double yoke and wheel configurations depending on bin payload.

Flexibility, reliability, and low cost are hallmarks of these economical machines. From high throughput, picking-bin distribution centers to progressive assembly applications, White top drive carousels have provided solutions for decades.

Structural Features

• Top drive carousels are designed for standard and light duty applications. Single or double yoke models are uniquely designed to minimize yoke and wheel failure.
• 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.
• Height of lower guide rails is adjustable, allowing bottom shelf to be raised to workbench level.

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 of the bin. The weight (up to 1,000 lb) is then distributed through the top suspension frame to the wheels and track.

Motors and Controls

• AC and DC motors are available in single or dual drive configurations.
• Motors and controls meet NEC, ETL standards.
• Carousel controls range from a simple footswitch to software controls providing up to 950 picks per hour.
