How much storage space will I actually gain?

High-Density Mobile Storage (HDMS) systems can increase your storage capacity by 50% – 100% by eliminating the need for a dedicated fixed aisle for every shelf.

What types of systems are available?

Our systems fall into three categories: Manual: You push and pull the shelves by hand, which is ideal for lightweight items and a simple, cost-effective solution Mechanical-Assist: You rotate an ergonomic handle that uses a gear system to move the storage units with minimal effort. Powered: You push a button or use gestures to move the shelves via an electric motor. This system is ideal for storing sensitive materials, heavy or bulky items, and environments where hands-free control is practical, such as healthcare, offices, and maintenance rooms.

Are mobile storage systems safe?

Yes. The mobile storage systems have passive safety systems to prevent carriages from moving while a person or object is in the aisle. These include safety sweep/bumpers that stop a moving carriage if the edge is touched and floor sensors to lock the system and prevent movement if someone is standing in an open aisle. They also built-in tip protection to ensure they remain stable

Can I lock the system to secure my items?

Yes. Depending on your choice of system, you can secure the shelving at the room level, individual carriage level, or individual cabinet level. Mechanical systems typically have keyed locks on the handle, while powered systems utilize PIN codes, badges, or software authorization to access aisles.

Can I install a mobile storage system over my existing flooring?

It depends. Tracks can sometimes be installed directly onto existing flooring/concrete, but typically, you will need to have your floor levelled or install a reinforced raised deck/track system before setup
