Mobile Storage: The Concept
Think about a typical area of static shelving—a library, for example. In between library shelves, there are individual aisles for patrons to walk through
and select books. These aisles, while necessary for library-goers, are actually wasted space that could store more books or be used in other ways.
Now, imagine that you’re able to put those static library shelves on moveable carriages that could compact together to create a dense space—but
still be able to retrieve any book, any time. The space you save from compacting those aisles gives you extra space—additional study areas, a
computer lab, a collaborative classroom, or a café—all of it possible without new construction or renovation.

High Density Mobile Storage: Modes Of Operation
Depending on your needs, we have three different ways to operate your mobile systems:

Mechanical Assist
Units are operated by simply turning an ergonomically designed three-spoke rotating handle. The handle allows users to move carriage weights of 4,000 to 10,000 lbs. with only one pound of effort.

Powered
Activate systems by pushing a button. You can enter the aisle as the carriage begins moving as requested. We also offer Touch Technology Controlâ„¢, an LCD touchscreen that provides optimum ease of use and security.

Manual
For lighter loads and a more cost-effective alternative to mechanical assist and powered controls, carriages can be moved side-to-side by pulling a single handle.

High-Density Mobile Storage Overview – FAQs
High-density mobile storage mounts shelving or cabinets on carriages that slide along floor tracks. By eliminating multiple fixed aisles, it reduces wasted space and can often double storage capacity within the same footprint.
Traditional shelving requires permanent aisles between each row. Mobile systems collapse those aisles until needed, allowing users to access one at a time. This typically saves 30–80% of space or allows 2× more storage in the same area.
Offices, libraries, healthcare, law enforcement, archives, museums, athletic facilities, and warehouses all rely on mobile shelving to balance access, security, and space efficiency.
Yes. Modern systems include anti-tip mechanisms, photo sweeps, entry sensors, and emergency stops. Powered systems also feature soft-start and soft-stop technology for user safety.
Absolutely. Mobile carriages and aisle widths can be designed to meet ADA accessibility standards while still maximizing capacity
Systems are available in manual (push), mechanical-assist (hand-crank), and powered options. Mechanical assist fits most mid-size collections, while powered systems are best for large, heavy, or frequently accessed collections.
Small offices can be completed in just a few days. Larger facilities may require one to two weeks or more, depending on floor preparation, track installation, and carriage count.
