MOBILE SHELVING
Manual Mobile Base Systems
Mobile shelving is designed to increase storage capacity. Each shelving unit is mounted on a mobile base that moves along floor-mounted rails.
This allows the system to stay compact when not in use, creating only one accessible aisle at a time. When access is needed, a simple turn of a hand wheel moves the shelving units to open the exact aisle required.
Mobieasy and Mobibasic systems are built to convert standard static shelving into a high-density mobile system, making them a practical solution for offices, archives, retail backrooms, and parts storage

Converting fixed shelving layouts into a space-efficient storage system
High Density Shelving
200% Your Storage Space
Mobile shelving eliminates the need for multiple fixed aisles by allowing shelving rows to move and compact together. Instead of dedicating floor space to access paths, that space is used for storage.
By creating only one aisle at a time, the system can double your storage capacity depending on your layout.
This makes it ideal for environments where space is limited or expensive, such as offices, retail stockrooms, and archives.
A Simple, Controlled
Movement System
Each shelving row is mounted on a mobile base and guided along floor rails, A hand wheel or handle system lets operators open exactly the aisle they need, allowing units to move smoothly with minimal effort.
Stability Under Load
Safe and Durable
Even when fully loaded, each shelving row moves smoothly along its guided track without shifting or compromising balance. The combination of reinforced bases and floor rails ensures that weight is properly supported and distributed, helping maintain both safety and structural integrity during operation.
3 Types Of Mobile Shelving
Customized For Your Work Flow
Mobibasic is a manual mobile shelving system operated by a hand wheel. Turning the wheel moves entire shelving rows smoothly along floor rails, allowing you to open the exact aisle you need with controlled, minimal effort.
Mobieasy uses a simple handle to move shelving units left and right. It allows users to quickly reposition shelves with minimal effort, similar to sliding a panel.
The Push-Pull system functions like a drawer, making it well-suited for smaller items or frequently accessed storage where convenience and speed are key.

FAQ
What is a mobile shelving system?
A mobile shelving system is a high-density storage solution where shelving units are mounted on moving bases. Instead of fixed aisles between each row, the units slide along floor rails to create one accessible aisle at a time, allowing you to store more within the same space.
How does mobile shelving save space?
Traditional shelving requires multiple aisles for access, which takes up a large portion of your floor area. Mobile shelving eliminates those extra aisles by compacting rows together and only opening an aisle when needed. This allows you to increase storage capacity or reduce your footprint by up to 200%.
Is everything still accessible in a mobile shelving system?
Yes. Every shelf remains fully accessible. You simply move the units to open the aisle where the items are stored. Unlike deep-lane systems, nothing is blocked or stored behind other items.
How do you move the shelving units?
Movement depends on the system configuration. Most mobile shelving uses a manual hand wheel to smoothly open the desired aisle. For lighter-duty setups, units can also be moved using a simple handle to drag left and right. For Push Pull, just pull it open similar to opening a drawer.
All systems are mounted on wheeled mobile bases and guided along floor rails, so movement remains smooth and requires minimal effort, even when the shelving is fully loaded.
Is mobile shelving safe to use?
Yes, when properly designed and installed. The rail-guided system keeps movement controlled and aligned, while the stable base ensures the units remain balanced during operation. Optional safety features can also be added depending on the application.
What types of items can be stored on mobile shelving?
Mobile shelving is suitable for a wide range of items, including documents, parts, boxes, retail inventory, and archived materials. The adjustable shelving allows you to accommodate different sizes and storage needs
Where is mobile shelving typically used?
Mobile shelving works best in environments where space is limited but access is still required, such as offices, archives, healthcare storage, and parts rooms. It’s ideal when users access items periodically rather than constantly.
However, because only one aisle can be open at a time, it may not be the best fit for high-traffic environments where multiple people need simultaneous access. In those cases, traditional static shelving may be more efficient.
