The Case for Powered High-Density Mobile Storage
7/26/2022
You already know that high-density mobile storage systems allow you to store more in less space, which makes room for even more storage capacity. Your next step is deciding whether to use mechanical aid controls (hand cranks) or electronic controls. Let Midwest Storage Solutions make the case for electronic controls:
SAFETY
Both types of controls have safety features. Mechanical-assist systems have a lock that is manually operated while electronic systems have a number of more advanced safety features. To detect when someone enters an aisle or when something is obstructing an open aisle, an electronic system’s safety beams sweep open aisles in a manner similar to an automated garage door opener.
All powered systems come equipped with backup built-in safety mechanisms as standard. That is one of the reasons why, depending on the application, we advise powered systems. For instance, due to their added safety features, we advise that systems used by the general public be controlled electronically. Because untrained users would be utilizing the system, motorized shelving is frequently chosen by open-access libraries to increase safety measures.
SPEED & EFFICIENCY
Many carriages can be moved simultaneously by electronic systems, and people can join an aisle as soon as it starts to open. When aisles are opened numerous times per day, the time savings accumulate.
For maximum effectiveness, electric shelving systems provide a selection of pre-programmed automatic movement modes. Do you have a certain aisle that gets used more often than the others? Set the system such that the priority aisle remains open by default. To encourage airflow, must entirely closed aisles be avoided? Change the system’s ventilation park setting. A “fire park” mode that connects to the building’s alarm system is also an option.

TOUCHLESS
When a button or LCD screen is pressed, electronic shelving opens. If you’re worried about high-touch surfaces, the TUSC app makes it simple to open powered systems with your own smartphone.
Whichever high-density mobile solution you select, you’ll be able to store more supplies or equipment in a smaller amount of room. Choose powered systems for their safety, simplicity of use, efficiency, dependability, and other attributes if you want to maximize efficiency.
