The AMH Group, Leading the Way
AMH supplies and installs a wide range of both new and used Storage Carousels. These Storage Carousels can be adapted and customised to meet your every requirement. AMH can also offer a machine relocation service, should you wish to move and install existing machines to a new site or location. AMH in-house software specialises in customised solutions for your machines or alternatively we can offer an upgrade to your existing software and being in-house we have total control.
Operating Principle
A Storage Carousel is made up of a series of shelves or carriers, which rotate in front of a picking station. By employing otherwise inaccessible and unused high space, the required floor area for storage can be substantially reduced by up to 80%. Items are retrieved by keying in the name, number or bar-code identification via a microcomputer, or in manual mode by keying in a level number on the built-in keyboard. Single or double electric motors drive the carousel according to loading requirements. The motors can be controlled by a speed controller, which enables the levels to rotate progressively and smoothly, giving average picking times of 10 seconds. Automatic position control by an incremental encoder makes it possible to align the shelves precisely with the picking station and to obtain the minimum height between two levels.
Meeting Special Requirements
At AMH it is our pride to serve customers with the most responsive and sensitive teamwork to get exactly the right machine for customer requirements made in the shortest lead-time the industry offers. We have listed below a sampling of special requirements we have met:
- Anti Error systems:
The operator can only access the correct item. All other items are behind closed flaps.

-Self-service storage units:
Access is limited to a single location on the level (by access code) and all other items are locked behind closed flaps. This system is suited for self-service picking items stored.

-Ventilation, temperature:
AMH supplies Storage Carousel units, which are often fitted with ventilation systems, constant temperature and humidity level maintenance systems and cooling units. These are used to store and preserve sensitive products such as electronic components, high value-added items, foodstuffs, liquids and medical products.

-Interfacing with the logistic environment:
Storage Carousels can be adapted with special fittings to allow robots to extract items from them and can be served by conveyor belts.

-Heavy products:
Heavy products can be handled by containers on bars fitted with rollers and shelves embedded with multi-directional bead bearings.

-Frequent options:
Electric doors, fire detection systems and access by digital codes are often installed at our client’s request.
