Frequently Asked Questions

Compactus shelving is a high-density mobile storage system where shelving bays are mounted on tracks and moved together or apart to create an access aisle only where it is needed. Instead of having a permanent aisle between every row, users open the required section manually, with a handwheel, or electronically depending on the system. This makes Compactus ideal for offices, archives, libraries, healthcare facilities and other environments that need to maximise storage capacity within a limited footprint.

Compactus shelving can significantly reduce the floor area required for storage because it eliminates most of the fixed aisles found between conventional shelving rows. Depending on the room, shelving configuration and storage requirements, a mobile shelving system can substantially increase storage capacity within the same footprint—some systems can provide two or more times the storage capacity of traditional static shelving.

The weight capacity of Compactus shelving depends on the model, track system, carriage length and how the load is distributed. Light-duty manual systems can move block loads of around 1,000 kg, while mechanically assisted systems are available for substantially heavier storage; for example, some systems support loads of up to 1,500 kg per linear metre. A professional assessment should always be carried out to ensure the shelving and building floor are suitable for the intended load.

Yes, professional installation is recommended for Compactus shelving. The tracks need to be correctly positioned and levelled so that the mobile carriages move smoothly, loads are properly distributed and safety mechanisms such as anti-tilt systems function correctly. Professional installers can also assess the room dimensions, flooring and intended storage loads before configuring the system to suit the space.

Yes. Compactus shelving can be fitted with locking systems to help protect confidential documents, records, stock and other valuable items. Depending on the model, options can range from mechanical locks and aisle locks to electronic access control. Some motorised systems can even restrict individual aisles to authorised staff or departments using PIN-code access, making Compactus suitable for secure office, government, healthcare and archive storage.
