Mobile Shelving

Mobile Shelving – High-Density Storage System

Space-Saving, High-Density Storage for Modern Labs

Mobile shelving, mobile aisle shelving, compactus, roller racking, or rolling stack, are terms applied to shelving or storage units fitted with wheeled traction systems. Units can be closely packed when access is not required, but can be readily moved to open up an aisle to allow access. By eliminating the need for a permanently open aisle between every unit, a smaller proportion of floor space can be allocated to storage than in the case of conventional fixed shelving, or a higher capacity of storage can be met using the same footprint as fixed shelving.

Each shelving unit is normally mounted on a level trackway (to eliminate gradients in the supporting floor), making it possible to move heavy units with minimal effort. Mobile shelving can be moved manually or by the use of electrical motors. The track/flooring can either sit on top of an existing floor or be integrated into raised access flooring allowing for a smooth transition between unit and surrounding floor levels.

Mobile Shelving (Electric/Manual Compact Shelving) is a high-density storage system that maximizes floor space by moving shelving units on rails, so only one access aisle is opened at a time. Compared with fixed shelving, mobile shelving can dramatically increase storage capacity while keeping documents, laboratory records, consumables, samples, and archived materials organized and secure.

Designed for laboratories, hospitals, universities, libraries, and archives, MAX LAB mobile shelving is available in manual, mechanical crank, or electric drive types. The system supports project-based customization including bay length, shelf depth, load rating, door panels, locking options, and internal accessories such as dividers, pull-out trays, and label holders. For electric models, optional safety functions (e.g., anti-pinch/obstacle protection and emergency release) help ensure smooth operation and safer daily use.
