Compact Mobile

Compact storage is another term for mobile storage where static bays of shelving, racking or lockers are mounted back to back onto steel bases that run on tracks set on the floor.

Move aside mobile storage is ideal for alcoves and corridor walls. A fixed row of shelving bays is placed against a wall. Then individual bays are placed in front each mounted on a mini mobile base. There is always one bay less in the rows in front of the static run of shelving bays. Bays simply glide left or right moving across to give access to bays of shelving behind.

Pull Out Racking

Pull out racking is ideal for pictures and art work. Each individual rack runs on tracks set in the floor and guided by rails above. These can pull out to expose both sides of the art rack on which picture and collections can be hung.

Dynamic Storage

Dynamic storage describes vertical and horizontal carousels which rotate mechanically via electric motors to bring storage levels to the operative. Please call us for more details.

Rotary Cabinets

Rotary cabinets are standard filing cabinets fixed back to back. They are mounted onto a turn table so that by moving and turning the cabinets around you can get access to the contents of both sides with having to move. These are space saving and provide a very high density of storage.

Carriages

Steel mobile bases that run on tracks in the floor are sometimes referred to as carriages. Shelving or racking can then be mounted onto these carriages to provide high density mobile storage.

Decor Panels

Storwell offer a wide range of end decor panels in steel and laminate faced MDF. These come in a number of attractive colours and wood grain finishes to compliment any environment

Modular Tracks / Floor

All of the tracks and floor come as components in standard sizes flat packed in knock down form to site. They are connected together with fixings to a specific pattern depending on the design of the room layout. These can be dismantled stacked, relocated and built in the same or any new configuration depending on the revised room layout.

Lateral Panels

Lateral panels are the same as the pull out racking panels that hang vertically. Each rack panel is mounted on wheels that run on tracks set in the floor. These panels are then tightly stacked in rows. Access to the faces to each panel is gained by pulling the panel forward and away from the row stack.
