High Density Mobile Shelving System |
High-Density Mobile Shelving Systems
Quick Summary: High-density mobile shelving (also known as compact or mobile storage) mounts heavy-duty shelving onto rolling carriages that travel on floor-anchored track rails. By converting fixed aisles into movable access aisles, high-density systems eliminate up to 50% of wasted floor space or double existing storage capacity in office, healthcare, athletic, law enforcement, and industrial environments across Washington State.
Overview & Space Optimization Capabilities
Managing a physical storage footprint is critical for reducing facility overhead, avoiding unnecessary construction costs, and delaying expensive building expansions. Whether planning a new build, consolidating records, or upgrading backroom inventory, Allied Systems Products delivers turnkey space-saving designs custom-built for local architectural and floor load specifications.
Key System Benefits
- Space Conservation: Captures up to 50% of floor space typically lost to permanent access aisles.
- Flexible Scaling: Modular carriage designs grow alongside your organization’s storage volume.
- Structural Durability: Engineered for heavy-duty commercial applications with limited lifetime warranty protection.
- Environmental Standards: Supports LEED certification requirements for sustainable building design.
- Universal Storage Capacity: Accommodates file folders, archival boxes, athletic gear, museum artifacts, evidence, medical supplies, tools, weapons, and bulky inventory.
Mobile Carriage & Drive System Options
The core mechanism of a high-density system is its carriage assembly. Select from four drive configurations based on weight capacity, ceiling height, and security requirements:
| Carriage Drive Type | Weight Load Capacity | Ideal Application | Safety & Compliance Features |
|---|---|---|---|
| Powered Electric System | 1,000 lbs. per linear ft. | High-frequency commercial, large archival, medical & high-security facilities | Programmable master control panel, PIN access lockouts, mechanical safety sweeps, aisle sensors |
| Standard 1000 Series | 1,000 lbs. per linear ft. | Standard office filing, athletic equipment, general industrial storage | Mechanical-assist handles, ADA compliant design, premium aisle safety locks |
| Low-Profile Carriage | 750–1,000 lbs. per linear ft. | Low-ceiling rooms, strict overhead sprinkler code environments | 4-inch low-profile carriage height, mechanical safety sweep, ADA compliant |
| Push-Pull System | Manual Light/Medium Load | Compact footprints, side-to-side gliding units, small office environments | Smooth manual track movement without drive chains or electric controls |
