The Best Commercial Storage Solutions in the Lehigh Valley, PA

by Storage Systems USA, Inc. | |

For countless businesses in the Lehigh Valley, commercial storage systems solve organizational problems and bring new opportunities to streamline operations.

Manufacturing facilities, distribution centers, and warehouses need reliable storage solutions that make efficient use of space while keeping stored goods easily accessible. High-density storage solutions like mobile shelving and vertical carousels optimize how space is used and help streamline work. These systems can be used to move items from place to place or even swap out products or tools for different seasons and projects.

Vertical storage also allows manufacturers and warehouse operators to fit more goods and materials into each square foot of floor space. These systems have a small footprint, and users can stock high-frequency goods at the bottom and less frequently used goods near the top. Combining these systems with lift machinery makes these systems even more efficient for fast-paced picking and packing. And of course, thoughtfully designed vertical storage systems open up walkways and paths for forklifts or other large equipment throughout a facility.

Here we’ll look at some of the ways commercial storage systems are used in specialized settings to use space efficiently and keep items secure.

Secure Storage Systems for Law Enforcement, Healthcare & Offices in the Lehigh Valley

Not all commercial storage solutions provide the security features that both law enforcement offices and businesses require. Tailor-made storage solutions for these settings include built-in racks, trays, and doors; reliable security mechanisms; and physical strength for bearing heavy loads. For example:

  • Evidence Lockers & Duty Bag Storage for Police Departments. These systems have secure, robust lockers made to conceal and protect sensitive goods such as evidence, personnel belongings, and valuable tech and electronic equipment. A well-designed storage system can be designed to restrict access to sensitive items and equipment, while still allowing for easy access by authorized staff.
  • Healthcare & Medical Records. Hospitals, medical offices, and outpatient treatment centers house personal information and confidential records like test results and charts in addition to HR and employee records and financial documents. Patient records must be accessible for the duration of treatment and are usually subject to longer-term storage after treatment has ceased or the patient has been discharged. As a result, file storage can be customized for the needed levels of access and ease of transferring records from active to archival status. Secure access helps to prevent HIPAA violations and protects personal information as well.
  • Modular Office Storage & Filing Systems for Businesses. Offices and business facilities also need flexible, secure storage and business shelving for HR and personnel documents, tax and legal papers, and other business records. Modular filing systems can be configured for secure long-term storage that protects records and PII from loss or damage, while still permitting authorized access when needed. Papers that are used regularly can also be stored in filing systems.

Specialized Storage for Museums & Agriculture in the Lehigh Valley

Beyond securing sensitive and private documents, other businesses require specialized solutions for efficient storage of 3D objects and non-paper materials. Two common examples include:

  • Museum Storage & Art Racks for Artifact Preservation. Artwork, museum artifacts, and archives are sensitive to moisture, light, temperature, and even theft. Depending on the age and condition of pieces, ambient humidity, microorganisms, and even light physical force can cause irreparable damage. Given the unique and irreplaceable nature of historical artifacts, and the expense involved in art restoration, it’s imperative that these items be stored properly for future generations and the record of knowledge. Specialized racks, drawers, and mobile shelves that expand and contract on tracks keep items secure in controlled environments while still using available space efficiently.
  • High-Density Grow Racks for Indoor Farming & Greenhouses. Storage can also be used to support agriculture with special growing racks that support food and plant production in challenging or restricted locations. Many farming operations, including seed starting; herb, lettuce, or mushroom production; and more make use of high-density grow racks. Special trays and racks are designed to hold soil or growing media, lighting and irrigation, and drainage systems that growing plants need. Mobile vertical shelving can also be expanded at intervals to accommodate plant growth.
