Benefits of Industrial Mobile Shelving Systems
Space Savings
One of the most significant benefits of high-density mobile shelving is that it saves space. Unlike traditional shelving systems, high-density mobile shelving maximizes the use of available space by eliminating the need for fixed aisles. The system’s mobile design allows shelving units to be tightly packed together, creating more storage space within a smaller footprint. A mobile shelving system can increase storage capacity by up to 50% compared to traditional shelving systems or cut your existing storage requirements in half.
Reduced Storage Costs
High-density shelving systems can drastically reduce storage costs by maximizing storage area. Maximizing your floor space is especially beneficial for cold storage or space and saves on energy costs. And if you’re short on storage space, these space-saving systems can also eliminate the need for costly building expansions, new construction, or offsite storage.
Versatility
High-density mobile shelving is an incredibly versatile storage option. It can store many items, from small parts and tools to large and bulky equipment. The system is also customizable, allowing you to tailor it to specific storage requirements. For example, mobile storage units can be designed to accommodate bulk racks or pallet racks. You can even integrate your existing shelving or racking into a high-density shelving system to further save on costs. In addition, you can relocate or add to mobile shelving systems as needed.
How High-Density Mobile Shelving Works
High-density mobile shelving is an efficient shelving storage system that consists of shelves that move on floor tracks. The shelves slide laterally, compacting to eliminate only one or two movable access aisles. By reducing wasted static aisle space, high-density mobile systems allow you to double your storage capacity in your existing footprint.
High-Density Mobile shelving systems are available in two different modes of operation. A mechanical-assist mobile shelving system operates manually; a user turns an ergonomic three-spoke handle to move thousands of pounds of storage with ease and open the desired access aisle.
High-density storage systems come with a standard safety lock that prevents mobile carriages from moving while a user is in an aisle. Additional safety features, including automatic locks and carriage safety sweeps/brakes, are also available. And for the security of stored materials, you can opt for a key lock to prevent unauthorized access to individual aisles or the entire system.
As an alternative to mechanical-assist mobile shelving, powered mobile shelving is also available. An electric mobile shelving system is best for heavy-duty storage systems storing over 10,000 pounds per carriage section or large systems with ten or more carriages. Electric-powered mobile shelving systems move heavy-duty carriages automatically at the push of a button to open your desired aisle.
Powered mobile shelving systems also come with sophisticated safety and security features. Powered systems come standard with an infrared photo sweep sensor to prevent carriages from closing on a person or object in an aisle. Optional safety features include an aisle entry sensor and a zero force sensor that halt carriage movement when a person enters an aisle. Electric mobile shelving systems also afford keypad access control with PIN or badge authorization and audit tracking to ensure the security of valuable materials.

Industrial Applications for Mobile Shelving
High-density mobile shelving is an excellent solution for industrial facilities seeking to maximize storage space. While it may not be suitable for highly active parts and products, a mobile storage system is a space-efficient solution for storing low to semi-activity parts. High-density mobile storage systems can facilitate various types of shelving, including bulk racks, pallet racks, and stainless steel racks. Some typical industrial applications for mobile shelving systems are below.
Manufacturing & Production
High-density shelving systems are an excellent solution for saving valuable space in manufacturing facilities. These space-efficient systems can store supplies for production lines. Due to their compact nature, mobile shelving systems can provide convenient point-of-use storage for needed items and parts. Several small systems may be placed in various locations around a manufacturing facility.
Warehouses & Distribution Centers
Mobile shelving systems maximize valuable storage space in warehouses and distribution centers. Compact pallet rack systems are commonly used in warehouses to maximize a facility’s space. These heavy-duty powered systems move pallet racking at the push of a button and can even be opened remotely by forklift operators for added convenience.
Spare Parts Storage
A high-density mobile shelving system can provide space-efficient storage for spare parts in manufacturing and other industrial facilities. The parts necessary for equipment repair can be kept on hand, reducing production delays. High-density shelving systems can be customized to provide the most efficient storage for parts of all shapes and sizes.
Cold Storage
Mobile shelving systems are a popular solution for cold storage environments since they allow you to store more in less space in expensive temperature-controlled storage space and reduce energy costs. High-density shelving systems come in stainless steel models well-suited for cold and freezer storage environments. These systems are perfect for food manufacturing, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and other cold storage applications.
Coastal Applications
Stainless steel mobile shelving systems are also well-suited for coastal applications, including manufacturing, warehouses, distribution, oil and gas rigs, and shipboard storage. The stainless steel systems withstand extreme temperatures and resist rust and corrosion in marine environments.

Industrial Testimonials
“Working with Southwest Solutions including Matt, Susan, and especially Brad was great. They provide amazing customer service. Brad and the install team were especially great. Very professional, easy to work with, and did the work quickly and very well with very little input from us. If we need help with carousel storage moves, parts, or new equipment we will start with Southwest Solutions. ”
“The team at Southwest Solutions were nothing short of fantastic. First meeting with Craig, I received a customized design, in person, based on my office needs while still maintaining an efficient layout and being cost effective. Craig explained everything clearly, allowing me to understand that as modular mill-work, I would be able to move it if I ever changed offices, but without the added sales pressure to immediately make a decision. Once I had decided, I worked with Chris who assisted in picking out the finishes and scheduling the delivery and installation. The professionalism of Craig and Chris spoke volumes and I would highly recommend anyone looking to transform or fit-out an office to contact Southwest Solutions.”
“I want to let you know that we all really appreciated your team mentality, professionalism and dedication shown on this project. It was a pleasure working with you and your office and we look forward to many more. Please pass along my gratitude to everyone who worked on this project. Thanks! ”
“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 install. 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.”
