MiniPat Vertical Carousel
Carriers (shelves) are connected to transport chains that rotate the entire stored inventory around inside a steel clad casing in either direction working on the shortest routing principle to deliver the requested items at an ergonomic height to the operator.
The carriers are presented at the access port in front of the operator at a picking / placing height, usually 900mm, depending on the pitch of the carriers.
Intermediate carrier levels can be installed at any time to cater for small parts in bins etc. Multiple levels can be configured to meet the desired volume criteria.
The picking port working area is illuminated by directional low voltage LED
Schwab Tower Heavy Duty Lift
Schwab Tower is a vertical Lift capable of storing a wide variety of products such as steel or aluminium sheet and profiles, tooling, jigs, large, heavy and "ugly" parts etc. The Tower cassette can support a load of up to 5,000Kg each with variable size possibilities up to 12,000mm wide by 2,000mm depth with machine heights up to 16 metres.
The Tower crane can also be designed to travel laterally where such a configuration makes better use of the available floor space.
Unlike conventional vertical lift systems a Tower can also be configured in a multi stack version.
This has the benefit of accommodating a larger number of trays where required whilst still operating with one lift mechanism.
Schwab Multi-loop Paternosters
Steel carriers are connected to transport chains that rotate the entire complement of carriers around inside a framework in either direction working on the shortest routing path principle.
The required carrier is presented at the access port in front of the operator at an ergonomic working height.
Goods presentation can be brought forward of the framework to a loading nose arrangement allowing free access for manual picking or by Fork Lift Truck, Overhead Crane etc.
Products can be delivered to the front, rear or both, mezzanine floor and basement levels or in any combination of these.
Aids to greater efficiency
Being able to make the most efficient use of your space is only part of the solution to effective stock handling. It is also vitally important that you are able to locate and retrieve stock in a timely manner.
Additional equipment such as barcode readers and printers can greatly simplify the identification of stock to prevent miss-picks and similar errors. But this is only part of the solution...
Even greater savings can be made by using 'Batch Picking' where a number of orders are satisfied in parallel guided by 'Put to Light' indicators against the receiving bins.
Other Storage Systems
As part of our overall product portfolio and to provide our clients with the complete solution (new stores or warehouses will rarely use only automated storage) we also provide a comprehensive range of conventional storage and handling systems to complete the full requirement.

Carriers (shelves) can be configured to hold almost any variety of bins, totes, containers or using adjustable dividers for cartons, each is presented in seconds at the access port which has a table at the front to help sort picks and replenishments quickly.
illuminated by low voltage lighting.
A Light Bar location system provides a visual and quick identification of the requested part positions along the carrier reducing search time and provide accurate picking and replenishment reducing the possibilities of miss-picks.
Carousels can be supplied in the most effective dimension to fit into a given area to make the maximum use of floor space, between columns and other structures or machinery or simply to meet the number and volume of items to be stored.
Complete with object light curtains preventing machine rotation if an item is not returned correctly or anything is protruding. Automatic doors also have personnel protection fitted.
