Looking for an efficient solution to optimize your file storage, save floor space, and enhance productivity? Consider an electric carousel filing system. Unlike time-consuming traditional file cabinets, these powered file cabinets offer a modern and efficient document storage and retrieval approach. 

A carousel filing system is a high-density document storage system consisting of a series of vertically arranged rotating file drawers or shelves accessed with a push of a button through a computerized control panel. These vertical rotating file cabinets efficiently store and retrieve paper documents.

Carousel Filing Systems vs. Traditional File Cabinets

kardex filing carouselThe Kardex Lektriever carousel filing system boasts many advantages over traditional file cabinets.

Space efficiency

Lektriever filing systems are more space-efficient than traditional file cabinets. The carousels utilize storage space to provide a significantly higher storage capacity within a smaller footprint than traditional file cabinets.

Storage capacity

Lektriever filing systems have an increased filing capacity compared to traditional file cabinets. A single carousel system can store the same capacity as 17 four-drawer file cabinets in a fraction of the space.

Accessibility and retrieval speed

The system provides quick and easy access to files. The powered filing carousel brings the desired file to the operator at the push of a button. Thanks to a height-adjustable work counter, they are also ADA-accessible, unlike traditional file cabinets. Traditional cabinets require manual searching, which makes file retrieval take longer.

Cost

ada filing carouselDue to their advanced technology and automation, the Lektriever filing systems are generally more expensive upfront than traditional file cabinets, which are simpler in design and tend to be more affordable. However, the long-term benefits of space savings and improved productivity offered by carousel filing systems typically offset the initial investment. Visit our online store to see our office storage products.

Security and Control

The system is controlled by an electronic keypad system providing enhanced security features. Including locking security doors, user authentication, access control, and audit trails. While lockable, traditional file cabinets do not offer the same security measures.

“The team at Southwest Solutions were nothing short of fantastic. First meeting with Craig, I received a customized design, in person, based on my office needs while still maintaining an efficient layout and being cost effective. Craig explained everything clearly, allowing me to understand that as modular mill-work, I would be able to move it if I ever changed offices, but without the added sales pressure to immediately make a decision. Once I had decided, I worked with Chris who assisted in picking out the finishes and scheduling the delivery and installation. The professionalism of Craig and Chris spoke volumes and I would highly recommend anyone looking to transform or fit-out an office to contact Southwest Solutions.”
