Mounting archival record storage is exploiting floor space in local, state, county, and federal government facilities all across the United States. Along with the mounting costs for offsite storage, government agencies are expanding and building their own archival storage areas for record boxes and other archives. Well if you are considering building or expanding your box storage archives, then you need to consider a Spacesaver® XTend™ Mobile High-Bay Storage System. XTend™ Mobile High Bay shelving is rapidly becoming a cost effective innovative storage solution for optimizing archival storage facilities.
How the Spacesaver XTend™ System Maximizes Archival Storage Facilities
The Spacesaver XTend™ System is designed with shelving units that go up as high as 35 feet with as many as 30 tiers of shelves. That’s five times the height of a traditional shelving unit! The tall rows of shelving roll on mobile carriages to move together to reduce inactive access aisles and compact or condense the storage area down to a very small footprint. Typically, the Mobile High Bay XTend™ shelving uses one to two moveable access aisles where traditional fixed type shelving would have six to twelve (or more) aisles. Accessing the Spacesaver high bay shelving is easy, with just the push of a button the towering rows of shelving roll on tracks to create an access aisle when and where you need it. Archives are retrieved and stored via an efficient aisle picker type lift. The Spacesaver Xtend™ Mobile High Bay Shelving System has numerous fail-safe safety features to protect archives and people using the system. (click here to watch Spacesaver XTend video)
