What Is Mobile Shelving?

Mobile shelving is a high density storage solution that, unlike traditional shelving, lets you use all of your available space for storage purposes. When access to a particular item is required, the mobile shelving unit simply moves to create an aisle as necessary which means only one aisle of space is ever required to access any part of the storage area.

Because mobile shelving systems mean your space is used for storage rather than access, you are able to gain 100% more storage from the same area compared to conventional shelving and storage solutions.

How Does Mobile Shelving Work?

Commercial mobile storage shelving works by moving the rows of shelving units as required to create an aisle for the specific position in the system where access is required. If for example, an item stored on the third row of the system is required, the shelving units from this row onwards will move along to open up access to the third row.

By only including a single access aisle at any time, the floor space that would be used for aisles in a regular shelving system can instead be used for additional mobile shelving units. This method enables mobile systems to deliver high density storage units for highly efficient use of space within a warehouse.

Mobile shelving is available with either an easy to use hand wheel mechanism, which lets you move the shelving to create aisles as required, or with a "Follow Me" electric drive system for the ultimate convenience.
