If you are thinking of taking on more staff, you are going to need to make room for them to work in your office. The great thing about roller racking is that it can save on floor space, whilst doubling your storage capacity, giving you more room for desks in your office. This means your staff will be able to work comfortably and you will still have somewhere to keep all of your important documents and files.
2. Increase capacity of your archiving room
Today many businesses still make use of archiving rooms to store important files and documents. If you are looking to increase the capacity of your archiving room, without actually moving to a bigger room, roller racking will provide the perfect solution. Roller racking is a form of high-density storage meaning it can hold more, without taking up any extra space.
Roller racking takes up less space than traditional filing cabinets and storage units.
3. Save on cost of industrial space
The fact that roller racking can help you double your storage capacity means that you can make use of smaller rooms and therefore save on the cost of industrial space. Whether you are renting industrial space or have bought an industrial unit, you will know how expensive it can be, so why not invest in roller racking to help you keep your costs to a minimum?
4. Available in a range of sizes
Roller racking is available in a wide range of sizes. No matter how big or small the room is that you are looking to put it in or how many files, documents or products you need it to store, you will easily find a roller racking solution to meet your needs and requirements.

It will also save you a significant amount of money in terms of floor space, making it even more cost effective.
Roller racking will keep confidential information safe and secure.
6 Improve security of files, documents and products
Roller racking is one of the most secure storage solutions available. Unlike traditional shelving units, the shelving used in roller racking can be rolled together, closed and locked to make it difficult for unauthorised individuals to access the contents inside. This is particularly useful for businesses that hold secret or confidential files on-site, such as Government agencies, doctors’ surgeries and hospitals.
7. Save time locating files
Roller racking allows organisations to hold their files and documents on-site, making it easier and quicker for staff to access the information they need. Organising your documents in efficient roller racking will mean staff can locate the files they need much quicker, helping to boost efficiency in the workplace.

10. Operates silently and smoothly
Working in a busy office where the noise levels are high can be extremely off putting. The great thing about roller racking is that it will not contribute to the noise levels. Roller racking can be operated silently and smoothly, preventing the rest of your employees from being disturbed and distracted from their work.
11. Keep doctors / hospital records safe
If you work in a doctor’s surgery or hospital where patient records and other important medical files are stored, you will need to find a safe and practical way of keeping the files away from unauthorised personnel. Roller racking is extremely secure and is therefore the best storage solution to keep doctors and hospital records safe.
12. Easy to transport
Unlike other types of storage units, roller racking is mobile. This means that if you decide one day that you would like to re-locate it to a different office, storage room or other part of your building, you can simply manoeuvre it, without having to spend time and effort emptying all of its contents. If you don’t want to re-locate it yourself, you could always ask one of our technicians to give you a hand when they visit to carry out maintenance on your roller racking solution.
