Mobile Shelving - Manually Or Electrically Powered

Mobile shelving can be opened and closed when required, therefore requiring only one aisle for access.
This means capaciy within a given area can be substantially increased.
Comparison of storage costs is most easily achieved by calculating a storage factor for each type of equipment.
This is simply the result of dividing the capacity (in linear metres) by the area occupied (in square metres) including the area necessary to access the records.
The higher the storage factor the more efficient the equipment.For example:A four drawer filing cabinet holds 2.2 linear metres of records and occupies 0.75 sq m.
Therefore 48 four drawer cabinets would provide approximately 105 linear metres of shelving using 36 sq. metres.
This has a storage factor of 2.91.In a like for like area,
15 bays of Mobile shelving can store 105 linear metres of shelving in 10.5 sq. metres, saving 68% of the floor space. This has a storage factor of 10.
