Plan the room before you buy the shelving.
Three working guides from our project engineers — written for facilities managers who need to defend a budget, not read a brochure. Each one is based on the same mobile compactor systems we manufacture and install.
Manual vs Electric vs Smart
The same steel carriages can be moved three different ways — by hand, by motor, or by a system that knows which aisle you need. The right choice depends on retrieval frequency, staff count and security, not on the biggest catalogue.
- What each drive type costs to buy, run and maintain
- When a hand crank is genuinely the better answer
- What RFID tracking adds on top of a smart system
Archive Room Layout Guide
A mobile system only pays off when it fits the room it is given. This guide walks through the five surveys our engineers run before drawing a single bay — from column positions and door swings to the aisle the fire marshal will ask about.
- The five-step survey behind every layout we ship
- Aisle widths that pass inspection the first time
- Zoning by retrieval frequency, not by department
Capacity Planning Guide
Capacity is arithmetic, not guesswork. We show the full calculation — usable floor, bay dimensions, units per shelf — and work a real 54 m² room from empty floor to a numbered box count you can put in a requisition.
- The four-factor formula our engineers use
- Per-bay capacity for boxes, files and bound volumes
- Floor loading figures your structural engineer will ask for
Questions we hear in every first meeting.
