Providing High-Density Mobile Storage Solutions in the Philadelphia Area

When volume is growing and expanding to a bigger location is costly, a high-density mobile system may be your best solution.

Maximize capacity and eliminate wasted space

High-density mobile storage systems can transform wasted, valuable space by doubling the amount of storage units in the same square footage. When mobile shelving is not in use, all units can be moved into one compact space, creating the ability to utilize the space for other applications. In addition, high-density storage could minimize the size of an addition or possibly eliminate the need all together by better utilizing existing space.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

High-density mobile systems are mounted on wheeled, rail guided carriages. These carriages can move back and forth or side to side – whichever works best for your space. Depending on your storage needs, carriages can be fitted with any configuration of shelving, cabinets or racks.

Many different ways to maximize storage

What if you’ve run out of storage space and are stacking expensive items in haphazard ways but you simply have no additional space to add more shelving? It may seem there is no possible way to solve this problem. This is where high-density mobile storage comes into play.

Mechanical-assist mobile shelving has an easy turn handle that makes use accessible for any user. The mechanical gear reduction allows for up to 12,000 pounds of weight to be moved with one pound of effort.

Gain access to your items with the simple touch of a keypad to power the aisles. Electrical-assist mobile shelving systems provides a safe and secure storage environment for both your materials and the user.

Manual mobile shelving is an effective storage solution for smaller and lighter loads. Simply pull a manual handle to maneuver between aisles ands access your stored materials. The shelves within these systems can be customized to fit your storage needs.

Mobile art screens are breathable and double sided, allowing for safe storage of paintings and frames. Paintings can be hung on both sides of the screen, maximizing the amount of artwork stored while utilizing the same amount of space.

Common questions

How much more can high-density mobile storage hold?

Fixed shelving needs an aisle between every row. Mobile shelving rolls the rows together on rail-guided carriages and opens one aisle where you need it, so the same room can often hold about twice as much. We measure the room and what you store before giving you a number.

Can our floor support high-density storage?

High-density systems put more weight on less floor, so the floor has to be checked. We provide the system's load data to your structural engineer or architect, who confirms what the floor can carry, and we lay the system out to match their findings.

What is the difference between manual, mechanical-assist and electric systems?

Manual carriages roll by hand and suit shorter, lighter runs. Mechanical-assist carriages use a handle and gearing so one person can move heavily loaded rows. Electric carriages move at the push of a button and can add safety sensors and access control. We recommend one based on run length, weight and how often aisles are opened.

Can mobile storage go into an existing room, or move with us?

Yes. Systems are installed in existing, finished rooms, and an existing system can be taken down, moved and reconfigured when you relocate or remodel.

Do you install outside the Philadelphia area?

Yes. We are based in Conshohocken, Pennsylvania, and most of our work is between Washington, DC and New York: Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, DC and Virginia, plus New York and New England. We also follow existing clients to offices in other parts of the country.
