Vertical Carousels A vertical carousel (Figures 7.48 through 7.50) is a horizontal carousel turned on its end and enclosed in sheet metal. As with horizontal carousels, an order picker operates one or multiple carousels. The carousels are indexed either automatically via computer control or manually by the order picker working a keypad on the carousel’s work surface.
