Medical supply and equipment storage systems are an essential part of healthcare operations. Hospitals and other healthcare facilities cannot provide high-quality patient care without proper storage for medical equipment and supplies. Medical supply and equipment storage must be organized, sanitary, and easily accessible to staff, among other considerations. To achieve this, many healthcare facilities choose to implement high-density medical storage.
High-density storage systems come in many shapes and sizes and are typically custom-designed to meet a facility’s unique requirements. Regardless of your situation, a high-density storage system can help you store your medical supplies and equipment more efficiently and in less space.

How High-Density Storage Systems Work
High-density storage shelving units are mounted on sliding floor tracks. The shelves compact together to save space, leaving room for one or two movable aisles for accessing necessary shelves. Because the mobile storage system eliminates the fixed aisles between traditional stationary storage units, it can provide double the storage capacity in the same space.
High-density storage systems move using manual or electronic controls. With a manual system, staff members open access aisles by turning ergonomic mechanical-assist handles. With a motorized system, staff can move shelves by simply pushing a button. Both models include built-in safety mechanisms, and additional security features are available to limit access to the storage systems.
A great storage option for any healthcare application, high-density storage systems can be tailored to hold all medical supplies and equipment. Adjustable shelving, wire racks, drawers and cabinets, stainless steel shelving, and plexiglass panels are just a few options that can be designed into a high-density storage system. More specific applications for high-density medical storage are below.
High-Density Medical Equipment Storage Solutions
High-density storage systems make excellent medical supply storage systems. Many healthcare facilities suffer from insufficient space and disorganized storage, and high-density mobile systems provide a solution. All types of healthcare facilities can benefit from high-density medical equipment storage, from hospitals and clinics to pharmacies and pathology labs.
High-density storage systems can be custom-designed to store all supplies and equipment, including sterile supplies, catheters, ventilators, rehab equipment, and more. Other items that a high-density storage system can store in hospitals include:
- Medications
- Pathology and histology slides
- Medical records
- Vaccines
- Linens
- IT equipment
- Food supplies

High-Density Medical Storage Case Studies
High-Density Medical Supply Storage
One hospital renovated its medical supply room and replaced its wire shelving units with an innovative high-density storage system. Previously, the hospital storage room was filled with rolling wire racks with plastic bins; the supply storage was cluttered, disorganized, and made inefficient use of space. The hospital replaced these racks with a high-density storage system consisting of color-coded shelving units mounted on floor tracks. The shelving units contained space-efficient supply drawers and tilted-shelf bins to provide easy access to stored supplies.
The installation process was as follows:
- The high-density storage system was pre-assembled in a removed location, minimizing interference with the hospital department’s daily activity.
- Removal of existing wire shelving from the supply room
- Installation of new floor tracks
- The mounting new mobile storage racks onto the floor tracks.
The high-density storage system is much more space-efficient than the hospital’s previous storage arrangement. The shelving units have a higher storage density since the drawers don’t require extra air space for reaching supplies, as the bins did. The drawers also make it easier for staff to access all the supplies. By using the nine-level drawer units instead of the previous six-level wire racks, the hospital gained 33% more storage. And with the high-density floor tracks eliminating static aisle space, the supply room saw an additional 40% increase in storage capacity.
High-Density Dialysate Jug Storage
A dialysis clinic implemented a high-density medical storage system to store a large number of dialysate jugs more efficiently. The high-density system allowed the clinic to store more jugs in its existing footprint and access the stored solutions quickly and efficiently.
The high-density medical storage system was designed to accommodate the weight of the heavy dialysate jugs. The system also features floorless rails installed on top of the existing floor. The floorless rails provide even load distribution, smooth and reliable carriage operation, and a low-profile corrosion-free rail design.
The custom-designed system provides staff with easy access to efficient storage. Mechanical-assist handles allow staff members to open an access aisle with minimal effort, and the shelves are fully configurable. The system accommodated shelving units taller than planned, allowing the dialysis clinic to make the most of its storage space.
Cancer Treatment Supply Storage
Having struggled with insufficient medical supply storage for years, a cancer treatment center knew that improving its supply room was a priority when expanding its facility. They hoped to optimize their storage area to maximize space for additional chemotherapy infusion areas and exam rooms to treat more patients while accommodating more medical supplies than before.
Designers planned a new medical supply room that was long and narrow and featured a high-density medical storage system utilizing four-post shelving and wire decking. The high-density system stores supplies, gowns, chemotherapy spill kits, chemo prep mats, chemo transport bags, masks, gloves, and more. The space-efficient system accommodates all the necessary supplies for the facility, even with its new addition. Visit our online store to see our healthcare storage products.

Healthcare Testimonials
“Southwest Solutions Group assisted us in the setup of equipment and services for our offsite medical record warehouse housing over one million charts. They have moved over 330,000 records from the main hospital to the medical record warehouse in a weekend time period, and converted thousands of charts for us. They have provided us a new chart tracking system, labeling system, and file conversion services over a multi-month process. Their IT group was able to modify our existing records management software to “talk” to our main software program so we could print color coded labels for our medical record charts. In addition, they have provided many other services to Parkland hospital including file shelving, hospital storage equipment needs, and software support. Southwest Solutions Group does exceptional work.”
“Our experience with Southwest Solutions Group could not have been better. Matt (sales rep) was very knowledgeable and attentive to our needs. Our shelving project required many changes and revisions and Matt never flinched when thrown a challenge. Many thanks to the installation crew for putting in a twelve hour day to complete our project on time. We give a 100% satisfaction rating to Matt and the Southwest Solutions Group team.”
“Thank you for your donation! I wanted to let you know that we ordered a donor sign for our storage room. The sign will be displayed outside the storage room located near the main kitchen/dining room. This should give you some good exposure!”
