Through continuous engineering innovation and an uncompromising commitment to structural integrity, Montel Shelving Inc. redefines the possibilities of high-density storage and vertical farming.
Our Mission
As a recognized North American leader in innovative high-density mobile shelving and multi-tier grow systems, our mission is to empower global procurement teams, architects, and facility managers by transforming how they store, protect, and grow through intelligent, precision-built space solutions.
Our Vision
Providing global commerce, public institutions, and commercial agriculture with smarter, scalable space to store more, preserve better, and maximize operational profitability within minimal footprints.
A Century of Industrial Excellence
Montel Shelving Inc.'s legacy is grounded in 40 years of heavy electrical and power-grid infrastructure, providing the rigorous foundation for our industry-leading mobile motorized carriages today.
1924Foundation in Heavy Electrical & Mechanical Engineering
Before pioneering compact storage, Montel gained four decades of deep technical mastery participating in the electrical infrastructure, power grid generation, and heavy mechanical works of major hydroelectric power plants in North America. This rigorous background forms the unmatched durability of our drive mechanisms.
1960s – 1970sPioneering Mobile Storage in North America
Recognizing the acute commercial need to eliminate static aisle waste, Montel Shelving Inc. engineered its first mechanical-assist mobile storage carriages. By moving entire shelving blocks on heavy-duty precision rails, businesses could halve their required storage footprint.
1980s – 1990sProprietary Patents & Heavy-Duty Mobile Racking
Montel expanded its engineering envelope to include industrial-scale mobile pallet racking, electronic control interfaces, and proprietary safety sweeps. This era established our presence across federal archives, military armories, healthcare campuses, and multinational manufacturing centers.
2000s – 2010sSafeAisle®, SmartShelf® & Museum Innovations
Introduction of the patented SafeAisle® full-floor optical detection system, SafeCrank® ergonomic geared handles, and conservation-grade museum cabinets. Our systems became the gold standard for prestigious cultural institutions, university libraries, and law enforcement evidence repositories.
Present DayLeading Vertical Agriculture & Smart Warehousing
Combining structural expertise with environmental controls, Montel Shelving Inc. has delivered industry-benchmark multi-tier mobile vertical farming systems, clean-room medical carousels, and high-bay mobile racking across the United States, Canada, and global overseas markets.
