Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) – Low Profile Wheelhouse® High-Density Shelving

What is Low Profile Wheelhouse® High-Density Shelving?

Low Profile Wheelhouse® High-Density Shelving is a compact mobile storage system that mounts shelving onto low-profile mobile carriages that travel along floor rails. By eliminating fixed aisles, the system significantly increases storage capacity while maintaining easy access to stored materials. Its innovative low-profile design keeps the bottom shelf just 4¼ inches above the rail, maximizing vertical storage and minimizing installation impact.

How much space can a Wheelhouse® system save?

Wheelhouse® systems can dramatically increase storage capacity by eliminating unnecessary aisle space. Many organizations can store up to 50% more materials within the same footprint compared to traditional static shelving, reducing the need for costly building expansions or off-site storage.

What makes the Wheelhouse® system different from standard mobile shelving?

Wheelhouse® features a unique low-profile modular carriage with integrated wheel housings that require less steel, use recycled materials, and simplify installation. The modular design allows the system to be easily expanded, reconfigured, or relocated as your storage requirements change, making it an excellent solution for leased facilities and evolving workspaces.

Is Low Profile Wheelhouse® shelving suitable for leased buildings?

Yes. Because the system utilizes modular floor and rail options with minimal installation disruption, Wheelhouse® is ideal for leased offices, temporary facilities, or buildings where permanent floor modifications are undesirable. The system can often be relocated if your organization moves in the future.

What types of organizations use Low Profile Wheelhouse® shelving?

Wheelhouse® systems are used across numerous industries, including:

  • Corporate offices
  • Healthcare facilities
  • Hospitals and pharmacies
  • Museums and archives
  • Libraries
  • Government agencies
  • Public safety organizations
  • Athletic equipment rooms
  • Manufacturing facilities

Its flexibility allows it to store everything from files and records to equipment, uniforms, supplies, and specialty collections.

What shelving options are available?

The Wheelhouse® system supports multiple storage configurations, including:

  • 4-Post Shelving
  • Case-Type Shelving
  • File shelving
  • Bin storage
  • Drawer cabinets
  • Specialty storage accessories

These configurations can be customized to meet the unique storage requirements of virtually any facility.

Can the system grow with our organization?

Absolutely. One of Wheelhouse®'s greatest advantages is its modular design. Components can be added, relocated, or reconfigured as departments expand, storage needs change, or facilities are renovated, protecting your investment for years to come.

What operating options are available?

Spacesaver offers three operating methods:

  • Manual operation for smaller applications
  • Mechanical-assist systems for larger storage loads
  • Powered systems with push-button operation, advanced controls, and optional intelligent safety features

Spacesaver Storage Solutions will recommend the best option based on your storage volume, frequency of access, and workflow.

Is Wheelhouse® shelving safe?

Yes. Safety is engineered into every system. Available safety features include:

  • Safety Sweep technology
  • Photo Sweep® infrared protection
  • Aisle Entry Sensors
  • Anti-tip rail options
  • Intelligent powered safety controls

These features help prevent accidental carriage movement while protecting both users and stored materials.

Is Low Profile Wheelhouse® environmentally friendly?

Yes. The Wheelhouse® system uses less steel than many traditional mobile systems and is manufactured using a high percentage of recycled materials and low-emitting finishes. Its long service life and modular reusability also contribute to sustainable facility planning.

Can the system be customized?

Yes. Spacesaver Storage Solutions custom engineers every Wheelhouse® installation to fit your facility. Options include various shelving sizes, finishes, end panels, rail systems, accessories, and storage configurations designed around your workflow and available space.

Why Wheelhouse Stands Out

Low Profile, High Efficiency

  • Designed to store more in less space, the system features a rigid chassis that keeps the bottom shelf just 4¼ inches above the rail.
  • With height adjustable in 1½-inch increments, it maximizes vertical storage while adhering to local building codes.

Lightweight & Modular

  • Lighter by design: The system uses less steel and incorporates a high percentage of recycled material.
  • Future-ready: Modular and reconfigurable, it adjusts to new spaces and changing needs with ease.

Sustainable

  • Manufactured with low-emitting finishes and eco-friendly materials, Wheelhouse is as kind to the planet as it is efficient for your storage.

Built on Innovation: From the Wheels Up
At the heart of the Wheelhouse system lies a groundbreaking design:

  • Engineered Wheel Housing: Compact 3-inch wheels encased in a welded housing interlock directly with the shelving assembly, creating an exceptionally rigid chassis.
  • Interlocking Components: Weld-free, interchangeable parts streamline shipping, simplify assembly, and make reconfiguration a snap.
    This design means the system is stronger, smarter, and lower-profile, with every detail engineered to maximize space and minimize hassle.

Key Features at a Glance

Rail Options

  • Low-profile ½-inch rails: Available in standard or anti-tip configurations.
  • Modular rail and floor systems: Portable and easy to install.
  • Fully grouted floor and ramp options for both standard and anti-tip rails.

Professional-Grade Shelving

  • 4-Post Shelving: Available in widths from 24 to 72 inches and depths from 12 to 36 inches.
  • Case-Type Shelving: Ranges from 24 to 48 inches wide and 12 to 36 inches deep.
  • Durable powder coat finishes, full-height end panels, and compliance with ADA accessibility standards.

Strength & Stability

  • Recessed Uprights: Posts fit snugly into the 2 1/8-inch channel of the wheel housing for unmatched stability.
  • Double-lock side profiles add structural integrity to the entire system.
