Safety is the highest priority in the design and installation of our products – which is why we offer multiple features to ensure protection for employees and items. Below are the comprehensive safety features, with Safety Sweep available in Mechanical Assist applications, and all features available in our Eclipse Powered Systems®.
Full protection for people and objects in open HDMS aisles by automatically stopping carriage movement upon contact.
Full protection for people and objects in open HDMS aisles by automatically stopping carriage movement upon contact.
If a person enters a closing aisle, cross-aisle sensors stop the system from moving.
Multiple infrared beams detect a person’s entry into or presence within an open aisle and automatically lock down carriage movement.
Spacesaver offers multiple safety technologies designed to protect users and stored materials. Depending on your system configuration, available safety features include the Safety Sweep, Photo Sweep®, Aisle Entry Sensor, and Zero Force Sensor®. These technologies help detect people or objects and automatically stop carriage movement when necessary.
The Safety Sweep is available on Mechanical Assist High-Density Mobile Storage Systems. It detects contact with an obstruction and immediately stops carriage movement, helping protect both personnel and stored equipment.
Photo Sweep® uses an infrared beam along the bottom of the moving carriage to detect obstacles. If the beam is interrupted by a person or object, the system automatically stops moving until the obstruction is cleared, providing continuous protection during operation.
An Aisle Entry Sensor projects a light beam across the entrance of an open aisle. If someone enters while the system is closing, the sensor immediately stops carriage movement, helping prevent accidental contact.
The Zero Force Sensor® uses multiple infrared beams to detect a person's presence anywhere within an open aisle. Unlike traditional safety sensors, it automatically prevents system movement without requiring physical contact and restores normal operation once the aisle is clear.
All four safety options—Safety Sweep, Photo Sweep®, Aisle Entry Sensor, and Zero Force Sensor®—can be incorporated into Eclipse Powered Systems®, providing multiple layers of protection for users and equipment.
Yes. Safety is a core part of every Spacesaver mobile storage system. The systems are engineered with built-in safety technologies that continuously monitor for people and obstacles, helping create a safer working environment in offices, healthcare facilities, museums, government buildings, warehouses, and industrial environments.
Yes. Every facility has different operational requirements. Our team will evaluate your workflow, traffic patterns, and storage needs to recommend the most appropriate combination of safety features for your mobile storage system.
No. Safety devices are designed to operate automatically in the background, allowing normal operation while only interrupting movement when an obstruction or person is detected.
Many existing Spacesaver mobile systems can be upgraded with newer safety technologies. Our team can inspect your current installation and recommend compatible upgrades based on your equipment and operational needs.
Different facilities have different levels of foot traffic and access requirements. Combining multiple safety technologies provides additional layers of protection, helping reduce risk while maintaining efficient access to stored materials.
Our storage specialists can assess your space, explain the available safety technologies, and recommend the best solution for your application. Contact Spacesaver Storage Solutions to schedule a consultation or request a free space assessment.
