How Does Mobile Shelving Work?
Mobile shelving, or roller racking as it is sometimes known, is most effective in saving space as it eliminates the need for several access aisles. Because the shelving moves along floor tracks, the space for only one aisle is needed. When an item is required the particular shelving bay is identified and moving the mobile shelving units apart creates an adjacent aisle. Mobile shelving is opened and closed by pull handles, hand driven mechanical systems or electric motors with push-button control.
