Standard Mobile Storage Systems
What is a Standard Mobile Storage System?
Standard mobile storage systems are the classics: Our most trusted, most versatile type of movable shelving. They’ve been showing up (and showing off) in libraries, museums, athletic facilities, offices, and more for over 50 years.
Unlike specialized systems designed for specific spaces or gear, standard systems are built for just about anything, just about anywhere. Need shelves that can flex, reconfigure, and grow with you? Standard systems do that. Have existing shelving? They probably work with it. Got stuff? They’ve got space.
They may be called “standard,” but there’s nothing basic about them. These are the go-to shelves for people who need storage that moves, adjusts, and just keeps working.
Curious about control? Take your pick: Manual, Mechanical Assist, or Powered.
Standard roller shelving might sound like a derby match (with names like Ruthless Velocity or Helen Bruisin’) but these solutions deliver agility and resilience without the bruises.
In fact, standard mobile shelving hits hard in all the right ways:
- Reclaim floor space by replacing fixed aisles with durable, movable shelves
- Double your storage capacity in the same footprint — up to 50% space savings
- Customize your system with shelving, drawers, custom graphics, and accessories that fit your needs
- Futureproof your storage with a system that grows and adapts with your organization.
Our storage experts will walk (not skate) you through safety features like mechanical sweeps, infrared sensors, and pressure-sensitive flooring to keep your team and your stuff protected.
Looking to save even more? Standard mobile storage systems are compatible with most shelving types, including the ones you’re already using. No helmets or elbow pads required.
A picture is worth a thousand storage ideas.
