High-Density Mobile Storage, Smarter Than Ever

When it comes to storage, every square foot matters. High-density mobile storage has long been the go-to solution for industries that need to maximize space while keeping valuable materials safe and accessible. From museums and libraries to healthcare facilities, government archives to corporate offices, mobile shelving doubles or even triples capacity — eliminating wasted space and creating flexible environments that grow with your needs.

But today, storage is evolving even further. With new technology upgrades, manual systems can now be transformed into smart, powered solutions, enhancing efficiency, safety and ease of use.

Smarter Storage Across Industries

• Museums & Libraries: Safeguard priceless collections while providing faster, smoother access for staff and patrons.

• Healthcare & Pharmaceuticals: Maintain secure, organized records and supplies with technology that supports compliance and reliability.

• Government & Legal Archives: Improve security with keycard access and automated controls for sensitive information.

• Corporate & Education Settings: Streamline workflows, improve accessibility and reduce the strain of manual shelving operations.

No matter the setting, high-density mobile shelving is about flexibility, efficiency and protection — and now technology can make it even better.

Introducing Plug & Move: A Smarter Upgrade

For organizations already using manual mobile shelving, a full system replacement isn’t always feasible. That’s where Aurora’s Plug & Move comes in.

This patented retrofit technology installs directly onto existing hand-crank shelving, instantly converting it into a powered, push-button system — all without replacing your archive stacks.

With Plug & Move, you gain:

• One-touch operation for faster retrieval and reduced strain

• Soft start/stop technology to protect materials and prevent collisions

• Battery backup for continued operation, even during power outages

• Safety sensors that detect resistance and immediately stop carriage movement

It’s a cost-effective way to bring existing systems into the future.

Add-On Features for Next-Level Efficiency

Plug & Move also offers optional upgrades designed to enhance control and user experience:

• 🔑 Keycard Security Access — control who can enter aisles and manage sensitive collections

• 💡 Overhead LED Lighting — motion-activated lights improve visibility and save energy

• 🎙 Voice Control — operate your shelving hands-free with smart assistant integration

• 📱 Inventory Management Software — track, locate, and manage items from a computer, tablet or smartphone

These smart features don’t just modernize your shelving, they help you get more done with less effort.
