Montel Shelving Inc. manufactures heavy-duty mobile shelving, industrial mobile racking, and high-density compact storage systems engineered to optimize square footage and protect inventory across North America.
Whether you require smooth mechanical-assist hand cranks, intelligent motorized push-button systems, or heavy-duty pallet mobile racking, Montel Shelving Inc. delivers precision steel equipment designed for decades of trouble-free service.
Equipped with Montel Shelving Inc.'s patented SafeCrank 3-spoke reduction handles, MOBILEX® allows operators to move thousands of pounds of shelving smoothly with less than 1 lb of user effort.
The industry benchmark for safety. Full-coverage infrared floor detection beams instantly halt carriage movement upon detecting objects, personnel, or equipment in an open aisle.
A versatile compact system designed for existing concrete floors. Features integrated sub-floor and ramp systems that eliminate the need to drill or modify structural building slabs.
Combines the ease of a geared mechanical-assist crank handle with low-profile flush rails, offering substantial weight capacities for medium-sized offices and supply departments.
Bypass lateral storage system that stacks shelving two or three rows deep. The front row carriages glide sideways smoothly on floor tracks to grant direct access to stationary rear rows.
Engineered for off-site archival book depositories, law repositories, and tall warehouse facilities up to 35+ feet in clear vertical height. Integrates with motorized picker cranes.
Engineered for back-of-house storage of bulky cartons, athletic gear, and industrial parts. Eliminates wasted aisles while providing expansive bay widths for unpalletized goods.
Ideal for distribution stockrooms and maintenance shops. Built on structural carriages that accommodate pallet rack uprights, cantilever beams, or wire mesh decking with mechanical cranks.
Motorized mobile rack engineered for rapid warehouse retrieval. Features touch-key aisle controllers, variable speed ramp-up soft starts, and integrated photo-electric security barriers.
A heavy-duty motorized system designed to carry standard selective pallet racks on continuous steel tracks. Transforms 10 static forklift aisles into 1 single accessible aisle.
Montel Shelving Inc.'s flagship high-load mobile rack, engineered for heavy manufacturing, refrigerated warehouses, and 3PL hubs carrying massive multi-tier pallet loads.
A versatile 4-post hybrid shelving system engineered with patented shelf supports that adjust in 1-inch increments without tools. Compatible with mobile carriages or stationary use.
The gold standard in academic and public libraries across the United States and Canada. Built to meet stringent ALA loading requirements and seismic library safety codes.
Double-sided wire mesh hanging art panels on vibration-dampened tracks. Allows conservation professionals to hang valuable paintings with zero wall drilling and maximum security.
Heavy-gauge welded steel cabinets engineered with airtight closed-cell silicone gaskets, key lock cores, and non-off-gassing powder coats protecting delicate artifacts and textile archives.
Engineered for collegiate varsity locker rooms, law enforcement squad rooms, and military bases. Built with reinforced 16-gauge steel, integrated ventilation, power plugs, and lockable boots.
MOBILEX® is the most trusted mechanical-assist high-density storage system in North America. Designed with proprietary gear ratios and aircraft-grade drive chains, MOBILEX® allows a single user to move a block of 10 carriages weighing over 100,000 lbs effortlessly with just one hand on the SafeCrank handle.
Every carriage features an integrated mechanical push-button center safety lock, preventing carriage movement while personnel are retrieving records or materials in the active aisle.
For industrial distribution hubs, chilled food lockers, and cold-storage operations, static pallet aisles consume unnecessary refrigeration and real estate costs. SAFERAK® mobilizes your existing heavy pallet racking on motorized structural rail channels, immediately recapturing up to 50% of cold floor area or expanding SKU capacity by up to 100%.
Complies with ANSI, OSHA, and IBC standards for warehouse seismic anchoring and operational safety.
Select the optimal propulsion system based on daily picking frequencies, total carriage weight, and facility user profiles.
