Spacesaver’s compact storage systems eliminate wasted aisle space by mounting shelving, cabinets, or racking on carriages that move along rails. Depending on your space and operational needs, we offer three control options to choose from: manual, mechanical assist, or powered.
Spacesaver’s electric shelving systems are reliable, fast, and safe. You can activate system movement with the push of a button or the touch of an LCD screen, and then enter the aisle as it opens. These systems offer PIN or badge-swipe activation to maintain an audit trail and limit access to confidential or valuable items, and the “soft-start, soft-stop” feature is ideal for fragile objects. Powered controls Include Touch Technology, Gesture Control™ and TUSC® Control App.
Mobile shelving units are moved by simply turning an ergonomically designed, soft-touch, three spoke rotating handle. This handle allows users to move carriage weights of 4,000 to 10,000 lbs. with only one pound of effort. A variety of safety options are available for mechanical assist mobile storage systems.
Spacesaver manual mobile shelving systems are a cost-effective alternative to mechanical assist controls. Pulling the handle moves the carriage from side to side. Ideal for smaller mobile storage systems with lighter loads.
Spacesaver mobile storage systems are available in three operating modes:
The ideal mode depends on your storage requirements:
A Manual system moves by pulling the handle and is designed for lighter shelving systems. A Mechanical Assist system features a three-spoke rotating handle that allows users to move carriages weighing between 4,000 and 10,000 pounds with approximately one pound of operating effort, making it ideal for heavier loads.
Powered systems offer:
Yes. Powered systems can be configured with PIN codes or badge-swipe access to restrict unauthorized use and maintain an audit trail, making them ideal for secure environments such as healthcare, government, law enforcement, and archives.
Yes. Spacesaver offers multiple operating options so your storage solution can be matched to your available space, storage capacity, workflow, budget, and frequency of use.
Yes. Safety is a key consideration across Spacesaver mobile storage systems. Depending on the operating mode, available safety features may include aisle-entry sensors, emergency stop buttons, safety sweeps, anti-tip mechanisms, and locking systems.
All three modes are used across industries including:
The appropriate mode depends on the storage volume, load capacity, security requirements, and frequency of access.
Yes. Powered systems support Gesture Control™, allowing users to open aisles with a simple hand wave. This touchless operation is especially beneficial in environments where hygiene or hands-free access is important.
Upgrade possibilities depend on your existing system configuration and project requirements. A Spacesaver storage specialist can evaluate your installation and recommend the most practical upgrade path based on your facility and operational needs.
