Mobile shelving, also known as mobile racks, are specialized storage shelves designed with a movable structure. They move on floor rails, offering space-saving benefits by potentially increasing storage capacity by 150% to 200% compared to fixed shelves. Mobile shelving can adjust shelf density to store items of varying sizes and heights effectively.
These shelves enhance access control and security, with some models allowing restricted access to sensitive documents through keys or other means. They may also meet specific requirements like fire and dust protection, making them ideal for long-term storage of low-liquidity products, documents, books, and other items.
Mobile shelving finds application in various industries, with flexible design and customization to meet specific needs:
In offices, they store documents and files, maximizing space and providing an organized environment.
Warehouses use mobile shelving for efficient inventory management, accommodating diverse products, and facilitating easy item retrieval.
Libraries and archives use them for book and material storage, enabling efficient space usage and restricted access to certain sections.
Components of mobile shelving include:
The rail unit guides the path of mobile shelving, allowing horizontal movement of shelf units.
The mechanism, which can be manual or motorized, enables shelf movement via wheels or similar devices.
A structure supporting stored items, typically in the form of shelves or drawers.
Mobile shelving comes in motorized, manual, or handle-operated types:
Driven by electric motors, these shelves are controlled using buttons, remote controls, or other devices, suitable for storing heavy loads with options for additional features.
Operated by human power, suitable for small-scale storage and personal use, offering low-cost installation and quiet operation.
