Before selecting reversing contactors and an overload relay, you need to know the rated current of the ATC carousel motor. Take enough covers off that you can read the data plate. On other B5AC machines, these have been rated between 0.31A and 0.40A on 230VAC.
I would use Fuji SC-E02 contactors and a TK26E overload, from Automation Direct. That is mostly out of habit and a desire for consistency. For a one-off, you could just as well use their WEG CWC07 series mini contactors and RW17D overload, which will be slightly smaller and less expensive. There are several parts and accessories needed to assemble a reversing contactor set: line and load side jumpers, a mechanical interlock device, and RC or varistor suppressors for each coil. Review the "specifications" page and items descriptions.
