Paternoster for carpet is a specialized system for vertical storage and display of rolled floor coverings, which allows you to compactly place a large range of materials and quickly access the desired roll. These solutions are mainly used in flooring stores, warehouses and showrooms.
How a carpet paternoster works
In essence, paternoster for carpet is a mechanized “carousel”, where carpet rolls are fixed on special holders and move along a closed vertical contour. The operator selects the desired material, and the system automatically feeds it to a convenient level.
Main design elements:
- high-strength metal frame
- drive mechanism (electric motor and gearbox)
- chain or belt driving circuit
- carpet roll holders
- control system (push-button or touch)
This design allows you to use the height of the room instead of the floor area, which is especially important for retail and warehouse spaces.
Why use a paternoster when working with carpet
The main task of the system is to optimize storage and speed up work with roll materials. Unlike classic racks, the paternoster provides quick access to any roll without manually moving heavy coatings.
Advantages:
- saving warehouse space due to vertical storage
- quick access to the desired roll
- reducing physical stress on staff
- accurate demonstration of the assortment to customers
- convenience of inventory
Essentially, this solution combines a warehouse and a display case in one equipment.
