Considerations for Mobile Storage System Design

​

• Space– The available square footage “footprint” of in the room you want to put the Mobile System in.

​

• Obstacles and constraints – The as-built architecture of the space, such as columns, doors, sprinkler systems, lights, ductwork, etc.

​

• Floor Load -Mobile Systems are by nature “heavy” as they compact a load of your commodities and shelving in less space than traditional storage systems. Weight load simply means the weight of the system and media to be stored that you will be putting on the floor.  This is important because it has to do with the supporting structure or how much load the existing floor can support. In terms of weight load, typically the ground floor presents no issue, but the higher you go within a building, the more the load changes. HDI can offer no charge for preliminary analysis of your building’s structural plans for anything above the ground floor to ascertain usability for Mobile Storage.

• Workflow and Accessibility-The number of staff who need to access the Mobile System and how often. The number of aisles can be adjusted if ease of accessing aisles is desired, and the system is to be of a larger design.
