35 Reasons Why Your Business Needs Mobile Shelving Storage Solutions
Whether you are just setting up your business, moving to bigger a premise or downsizing, you will greatly benefit from using mobile shelving storage solutions. Mobile shelving is like static shelving, however it runs on tracks, allowing you to move it from side to side. Today a wide range of businesses benefit from using mobile shelving storage and here we will explain thirty five reasons why you can too.
Effective way of storing important documents
Even though we rely heavily on computers in the work place, many businesses still have paper files, documents and records that need to be archived. Mobile shelving provides a place where you can store important documents in a unified manner.
Prevent important files from getting lost and damaged by filing them away in purpose built mobile shelving storage units.
2. Prevent files from getting lost
Businesses cannot afford for their paper files to go missing, especially if said files are required for auditing or could act as evidence in a legal case. Using a mobile shelving storage solution to archive your files will prevent them from getting lost and misplaced.
3. Prevent damage to files
Having a dedicated mobile shelving system will prevent your documents and files from getting damaged. If they are just left lying about they could get torn or have something spilt on them. File them away in your mobile storage solution and you can have the peace of mind that they are safe and sound.
4. Don’t take up a lot of floor space
When you set up static shelving units, you will find that you need to leave room in between each one so you have multiple access aisles. However when you set up mobile shelving, you do not need to worry about creating access aisles, therefore saving a significant amount of floor space. Our mobile shelving units can provide up to a 50% reduction of the overall floor space.
5. Save on the cost of floor space
Every square metre of floor space costs your business money. You can save on the cost of floor space by installing mobile shelving. It will take up less room and could even prevent your business from having to move to bigger premises.
6. Increase storage capacity
With mobile shelving you can actually increase storage whilst saving space. Our storage units can increase storage space by around 50% to 100%, compared to static cabinets. This is because they are high-density units and are therefore able to hold a higher volume of contents.
The video below cleverly shows you how mobile shelving storage solutions can help you double your storage capacity using half the floor space of static shelving units.
