Mechanical Assist Compact Shelving

Maximize Storage Without Sacrificing Accessibility

When floor space is limited, but storage demands continue to grow, Mechanical Assist Compact Shelving offers an efficient, high-density storage solution. By eliminating fixed aisles and replacing them with movable shelving units, these systems significantly increase storage capacity while maintaining quick and easy access to stored materials. The geared assist mechanism allows users to move fully loaded shelving with minimal effort, making it an ideal solution for facilities that require frequent access to stored items.

What Is Mechanical Assist Compact Shelving?

Mechanical Assist Compact Shelving consists of shelving units mounted on mobile carriages that travel along floor-mounted tracks. A mechanical handwheel or geared assist drive makes opening and closing aisles smooth and effortless, even when the shelving is fully loaded. Unlike manual push systems, the geared mechanism reduces the amount of force required, improving ergonomics and making daily operation more efficient.

Our Mechanical Rolling Shelving Systems include SafeCrank Technology – a push-button lock to prevent carriage movement while in use. To activate the system, simply rotate the SafeCrank handle clockwise or counterclockwise. By pressing the safety push-button in the center of the handle, the SafeCrank handle can be locked or unlocked. Once locked, the handle immobilizes the open mobile aisle.
