What are Mechanically Operated Shelving Systems?

Mechanically Operated Shelving Systems are shelves that are placed on carriages attached to floor tracks. The shelving slides along the tracks to compact together. When a user needs access to stored items, they can expand and move the section of shelving where the item is stored to create an access aisle. The controls to move the Mechanically Operated Shelving System are either hand crank or powered. (View Mechanically Operated Shelving Systems Images) (See videos)
