Kardex Megamat Vertical Carousel Review: Specs and Uses of the Vertical Carousel for Small Parts
Updated: 7 days ago
The Kardex Megamat is a vertical carousel that rotates carriers to bring stored items to the operator. The manufacturer does not publish a price. This review covers its specifications, features and uses.
Quick Verdict
Megamat suits fast access to many small and medium items. Carriers rotate past an opening, carrying 180 kg (Megamat 180), 350 kg (350) or 650 kg (650), with total unit loads of 6,000, 12,500 or 19,000 kg. Units are up to 7.5 m tall on the 180 and about 10 m on the larger models. Light curtains on both sides of the opening and colour-coded imbalance monitoring protect operators and the machine, and web-based Total Intelligence Control runs in a browser without extra PCs. Carriers can hold shelves, dividers or drawers. The page's height range for the 650 in inches appears mistyped, and speed is not stated.
