library archival storage in less space

The high bay shelving vault shelves can be constructed as high as 35 feet with as many as 30 tiers of shelves—five times the height and capacity of traditional shelving. The book depositories can be stationary or roll on mobile carriages to reduce the number of inactive aisles that take up space and condense the archival storage area to a small and manageable footprint. Typically, the CSI 11 51 16 book depositories and mobile high bay shelving only need one or two moveable access aisles depending on your storage area’s activity levels, while static shelving requires six to ten or more aisles. And since the high bay shelving can be stacked so high, it utilizes your overhead vertical air space instead of taking up your floor area.CSI 11 51 16 book depositories & high bay shelving for library archival storage
