Space is at a premium in storage facilities, especially secure military and government facilities, where expansions and temporary off-site storage options don’t guarantee property security. Operating managers can optimize storage efficiency by evaluating storage problems in their facilities, maximizing the use of vertical storage, and investing in solutions that consolidate to reduce unnecessary footpaths.
Storage Systems USA offers versatile high-density shelving and vertical lift storage options that can help. Explore the options in more detail below, and then place an order for long-lasting, efficient storage.
Storage Challenges in Military and Government Facilities
Military and government facilities need storage solutions they can trust. That means any storage hardware needs to be able to help solve these four challenges:
- Security. Whether it’s personnel paperwork, crime-related evidence, or sensitive electronics with military applications, government sites need storage solutions that can lock down access and provide a guarantee of security. This includes compatibility with security systems that only allow authorized access, physically concealing stored goods against surveillance, and strong hardware that can withstand attempted force entrance.
- Organization. Goods need to be accessed and used, not just stored. Government facilities need systems that support organization, inventory management, and fast retrieval. This might be through vertical lift systems that can retrieve exactly the right shelves, in-built organization systems for clear identification, and shelves with standard dimensions that can accommodate different types of goods.
- Efficiency. Any storage system needs to be able to make the best use of available space, without requiring excessive physical clearance or being too bulky. For example, standard aisles of shelves are inefficient because they always have empty hallways of space between units.
- Stability. Storage hardware must be strong enough to support weighty equipment, frequent access or active operations, and (at mobile sites) frequent vibration. The stability and durability needs may change from facility to facility.
High-Density Shelving for Secure and Space-Efficient Storage
One of the most versatile storage solutions at Storage Systems USA is Montel’s Mobilex. This high-density shelving unit has shelves on tracks that move from side to side. The shelves compactly sit against each other but can be moved to create a temporary hallway when it’s time to retrieve different items. Electrical models can quickly allow access to frequently-needed materials, and mechanical systems offer fool-proof, low-maintenance storage for infrequently accessed items in applications like archival spaces.
Vertical Lift Systems for Controlled Inventory Management
Vertical lift systems by Hanel allow facilities managers to extend useful storage all the way to the ceiling, often increasing storage space by 60% or more. Through either vertical lifts or vertical carousels, users can stow boxes, inventory, or archived goods away and shift the shelf to a height-optimized position. Users can then direct the system to move the storage shelf they need to working height. These systems allow military and government facilities to get more use of their space because they can more effectively use out-of-reach empty space, and the systems move the shelves so operators can easily access what they need without ladders or human lifts.
