10 Space Utilization
We Make Every Inch Count
Compare a conventional fixed-aisle layout with a Montel mobile layout. Same building, same footprint — radically different capacity.
Before · Conventional 
Wasted Space in Fixed Aisles
Static shelving needs an aisle between every row. In a typical layout, a large share of the floor is spent on aisles that sit empty most of the day.
Option A · Same Capacity 
Up to 50% Floor Space Freed
Compact the same inventory onto mobile carriages and reclaim up to half of your floor for offices, production, labs or revenue-generating use.
Option B · Same Footprint 
100% Greater Storage Capacity
Fill the original footprint with mobile units and double capacity — avoiding a costly building expansion, lease or new facility.
How It Works Compare Modes of Operation
One Moving Aisle Replaces Many Static Ones
Static units are mounted on mobile carriages that travel on floor rails. You open only the aisle you need — saving space, time and money.
Manual
Move carriages with an ergonomic handle. Ideal for light loads and smaller offices or stockrooms.
Mechanical-Assist
Turn the 3-spoke SafeCrank handle; gear reduction lets one person move heavy carriages effortlessly.
Powered Electrical
Push a button to open the desired aisle, with built-in safety sensors. Best for heavy-duty, high-bay and high-traffic sites.

Buyer's Guide
Mobile Shelving FAQs
Straight answers to the questions North American buyers ask most before investing in high-density storage.
Technical DocumentationHow much floor space can mobile shelving save?
By mounting shelving or racking on carriages that travel on rails, a mobile system replaces multiple fixed aisles with a single moving aisle. In most layouts this frees up to 50% of floor space, or doubles storage capacity within the original footprint, avoiding a costly expansion or new building.
What is the difference between manual, mechanical-assist and powered mobile shelving?
Manual systems are moved with a handle and suit light loads and short runs. Mechanical-assist systems use a 3-spoke SafeCrank handle and gear drive so one person can move heavy carriages with little effort. Powered electrical systems open the selected aisle at the push of a button and are recommended for heavy loads, long carriages, high-bay applications and high-traffic facilities.
Does Montel Shelving Inc. serve customers in the United States and Canada?
Yes. Systems are designed and manufactured in North America and delivered to projects across the United States and Canada, with installation handled by trained and certified installers.
Can mobile shelving be installed on an existing concrete floor?
Yes. Low-profile rail and deck options allow installation on existing floors without trenching, while recessed rails can be specified for new construction. Floor flatness and load capacity are reviewed during the free layout analysis.
What design support is available for architects and facility managers?
Free 2D elevation views and 3D layouts are provided before you commit, along with technical documentation, Revit files and LEED v4 information through the Resource Center.
Are mobile storage systems compliant with North American building codes?
Systems can be specified with anti-tip and seismic anchoring options and laid out to respect aisle-width, egress and sprinkler clearance requirements. Final requirements depend on local codes such as the IBC in the United States and the National Building Code of Canada, and are confirmed with the project engineer and authority having jurisdiction.
