Government Storage Systems for Agency Records, Evidence, and Equipment

Storage Systems USA supports civilian agency facilities with high-capacity shelving, secure enclosures, and space-saving infrastructure. For over 35 years, our team has designed and installed custom government storage systems for agencies operating across the tri-state area and beyond. We help facilities managers maximize their available square footage while maintaining strict control over sensitive materials.

Storage Challenges Facing Government Agencies

Government facilities managers work with a fixed, and often shrinking, amount of floor space. Agencies must retain critical documents for years, keep property and evidence completely accountable, and protect expensive equipment. Expanding the facility footprint is rarely an option due to strict budget limitations. Meeting this challenge calls for storage systems that condense the physical footprint of archives and supply rooms without compromising accessibility.

Government Storage Solutions by Application

Rather than deploying generic shelving, Storage Systems USA matches physical infrastructure directly to the specific material streams managed within civilian facilities.

Records and Case File Storage

Layouts supporting administrative archives must comply with 36 CFR Part 1234 federal records storage facility standards for structural preservation, environmental protection, and access control. Mobilex® High-Density Mobile Systems mount shelving bays onto low-profile floor carriages that shift laterally to open a single moving aisle. By eliminating static walking aisles, this high-density architecture can nearly double file capacity within the same physical room.

Property and Evidence Storage

Storage configurations for civilian investigative agencies support IAPE (International Association for Property and Evidence) guidance for physical security, compartmentalization, and chain-of-custody integrity. Our secure law enforcement agency storage solutions provide exact environmental controls to prevent evidence degradation. We install heavy-duty, pass-through evidence lockers that separate depositing agents and investigators from the restricted property room.

Equipment and Supply Storage

We design secure lockers and heavy-duty racking to organize uniforms, communication devices, and specialized field equipment. SmartShelf® 4-Post Hybrid Shelving features toolless shelf adjustments in 1-in. increments, accommodating archive boxes, bulk supply totes, and equipment frames within a single system. Proper physical organization prevents inventory loss and accelerates deployment times during critical operations.

Storage Systems for Government Facilities

Storage Systems USA distributes and installs advanced infrastructure built for high-density government applications. Mobilex® high-density mobile storage is available in mechanical-assist or powered configurations, with powered options featuring SafeAisle® zero-force safety sensors.

SmartShelf® 4-post hybrid shelving functions as standalone stationary units or mounts directly onto Mobilex carriages for maximum storage density. Specialized pass-through and non-pass-through evidence lockers feature seam-welded doors and secure latching mechanisms to maintain strict evidence custody.

Planning for Controlled Access and Compliance

Achieving regulatory compliance requires layout features that actively enforce access controls. Aligning system designs with records retention requirements for government storage keeps agency archives audit-ready without disrupting routine operations. Storage Systems USA configures carriages with lockable aisle tiers, allowing supervisors to restrict sensitive record sections while leaving routine supply bays open to general staff.

Space Planning, Design, and Installation Support

Implementing a compliant government storage system requires dedicated architectural planning. Storage Systems USA manages every project phase from our 12,500 sq. ft. Showroom and Design Resource Center in Phillipsburg, NJ:

• On-site spatial assessment. We measure room dimensions, assess structural floor loads, evaluate overhead clearances, and review sprinkler placement.
• Custom CAD space planning. We create detailed floor plans optimized for maximum density while meeting 36 CFR Part 1234 and IAPE standards.
• Showroom testing. Agency decision-makers can test full-scale Montel shelving and evidence systems in person before finalizing specifications.
• Certified in-house installation. Our internal crew handles track leveling, mechanical assembly, and safety testing.
