Automotive File Shelving
Automotive file folder shelving is a simple way to organize and store your files, binders, literature, and even record boxes. Open file shelving units take up 60% less space than traditional file cabinets, and their adjustable shelves allow you to store materials of various sizes efficiently.
With no drawers, open file shelving provides maximum visibility of stored files. And if you implement color-coded labeling, you’ll be able to locate needed files even faster. For any department with extensive paperwork, automotive file folder shelving is an excellent solution for enhancing your organization and productivity.
Sliding Shelving
Sliding file shelving is a space-efficient way to store files or record boxes. More cost-effective than other high-density solutions, a sliding shelving system consists of two or three compact rows of shelving mounted on tracks. The shelves on the front rows slide laterally to provide access to the static back row of shelving.
A sliding shelving system offers over double the storage capacity of traditional file cabinets, which makes them an excellent solution for departments short on storage space. For the greatest efficiency, store frequently accessed files on the front shelves and less frequently accessed files or archival boxes on the rear shelves.

High-Density Shelving
Another way to store your files and record boxes in a compact footprint is with a high-density shelving system. In this solution, open file shelves mount to floor tracks that slide together when not used, controlled by ergonomic manual or push-button operation. The system replaces static aisle space, leaving one (or more) movable aisles to access stored files.
A high-density shelving system can double your storage capacity or cut your existing storage footprint in half. You can learn more about high-density shelving here.
Pull-Out Shelving
Pull-out shelving is another high-capacity file shelving alternative for departments with limited storage space. Users pull these rolling shelving units out from the wall using a hand-crank or pull handle to access stored files. Available in various dimensions and with adjustable shelves, pull-out shelving can hold various file folders, binders, documents, and record boxes as needed.

Rotary Cabinets
Rotary file cabinets are a secure, space-efficient alternative to conventional file cabinets. These double-sided cabinets rotate to allow access to stored files on either side. They provide up to 400% of the storage capacity of traditional file cabinets.
You can customize these versatile cabinets to suit your storage needs. For example, if you store files on shelves, you’ll have immediate visibility of 50% of your stored files at a time for quick access to needed records. Or, if you use a top tab filing system, you can have drawers in the cabinet for file storage. And for security considerations, the cabinet locks in the closed position to prevent unauthorized access to stored records.

Electric Filing Cabinets
Electric filing cabinets are a more sophisticated solution for automotive file folder shelving. These powered cabinets store files in vertically arranged shelves which revolve to bring a specified shelf directly to the operator. Bringing files to an ergonomic picking counter makes it incredibly easy to retrieve files, eliminating the time-consuming search for a stored document in traditional shelving. Because the electric filing cabinet’s use of overhead space means it can save up to 50% floor space compared to conventional file cabinets.

Automotive Record Box Storage Racks
Along with these versatile file folder shelving solutions, we also offer a selection of automotive record box storage racks. These heavy-duty steel racks are a durable solution for storing archival record boxes. Boxes stored on the racks are better organized and easier to access than boxes stacked on the floor, and they are better protected from threats like water damage and rodents.
However, consider digitizing your records to eliminate the need for storing a physical record box. We provide professional, high-quality document scanning services to convert your physical documents into electronic files, allowing you faster access, enhanced information security, and significant space savings.

Automotive Testimonials
“I just want to take a minute to let you know how good of a job your install crew did yesterday. They were quick, fast, courteous, and very consensus during the installation. They were awesome, to say the least. Being in the service business ourselves, we know that you can never hear the words “Good Job” often enough. Please pass this along to your crew.”
“Thanks for getting our Compact Pallet Rack system completed on time with little disruptions to our operation. Jim did a great job of listening to understand our needs and was able to design a system that works well for us. Kerry and the installation group were great. They were well organized and left the area very clean every day and at the end of the project.”
“We are coming up on a year since we installed the file system here at Bill Heard Chevrolet, and we continue to be more than happy with the outcome. The barcode tracking software system tracks the documents for us and is easy to maintain and use. There is something to be said about keeping things simple. We really like the way it interfaces with our software and populates fields for us automatically on a daily basis. Your guidance in the project was the best deal of all though. Your help in the setup and advice on what would work and what might not work saved us a lot of time and money. Again, thanks so much for your help and count on us as another satisfied customer.”
