Electrically Operated Mobile Systems

Automated shelving for space-saving storage solutions.

Precise Effortless Mobile Storage

At Storwell Systems, an Electrically Operated Mobile Shelving System is an advanced storage solution designed to maximise space, enhance accessibility, and streamline storage management in large-scale environments.

These systems use electric motors to move shelving units along tracks, making it easy to open and close aisles at the touch of a button.

Perfect for environments with high traffic or heavy-duty storage needs, our electrically operated systems offer a convenient, efficient, and automated way to optimise your space.

How Electrically Operated Mobile Systems Work:

  • Tracks & Shelving Units: Shelves are mounted on rolling carriages that move along a set of tracks embedded in the floor.
  • Electric Motors: These motors are powered by electricity and drive the shelving units along the tracks, moving entire rows of shelves with the push of a button.
  • Automated Control: Users can control the movement of shelves using a button or touchscreen interface, which activates the electric drive to move the shelves apart or together, creating aisles or closing off sections.

What Are The Key Features of Electrically Operated Mobile Shelving ?

  1. Automated Operation

The electric motor system is powered by a simple push-button control or a remote access device, allowing users to effortlessly move entire rows of shelves with minimal physical effort. This makes it ideal for spaces where large quantities of items need to be accessed quickly and frequently.

  1. Space Optimisation

Like other mobile shelving solutions, our electric systems are designed to maximise storage by eliminating static aisles. The shelves move in a compact, organised manner, reducing the footprint of your storage area while increasing your capacity.

  1. Precision and Efficiency:

With motorised drives, these systems operate with precision, ensuring that shelves move smoothly and without error. Whether you’re storing heavy equipment, documents, or archives, the system ensures quick and efficient movement without strain or risk of damage to stored items.

  1. Energy-Efficient Options:

Storwell’s electric systems are designed to be energy-efficient, using less power than traditional systems while still providing exceptional performance. We offer 24 volt DC motors that can be customised.

  1. User-Friendly Controls

The system can be operated via a simple control panel, touchscreen, or even an app for remote operation. This intuitive control mechanism ensures ease of use for staff, with minimal training required. Many systems can also be integrated with your existing building automation systems for enhanced control.

  1. Safety and Security Features:

Storwell’s electrically operated mobile shelving systems come equipped with advanced safety features, including automatic stopping mechanisms, overload protection, and safety sensors. These features prevent accidents, injuries, and system malfunctions, ensuring a safe working environment. Additionally, locking mechanisms can be added for secure access control.

  1. Customisation Options:

We offer fully customisable electric mobile shelving systems to meet the unique needs of your space. This includes different shelf configurations, materials, finishes, and even bespoke aisle widths. Whether you’re storing high-value items or specialised equipment, we can tailor the system to fit your exact requirements.

  1. Scalability:

Storwell’s electrically operated systems can be expanded easily as your storage needs grow. Additional units can be integrated into the existing system without major changes to the infrastructure, ensuring long-term flexibility for your storage operations.

Advantages of Electrically Operated Mobile Shelving:

  • Maximised Storage Capacity: By eliminating aisles, you can store more items in the same space, making the most of every square foot.
  • Increased Productivity: The electric motor’s ability to move large sections of shelving quickly and efficiently reduces the time spent locating and accessing items.
  • Low Maintenance: Our electric systems are built for durability, requiring minimal maintenance compared to other automated systems, which helps reduce operating costs.
  • Convenience & Accessibility: The push-button or touchscreen interface makes it easy for staff to operate, even with large or heavy shelving units.
  • Security: With optional security features like locking mechanisms, you can control who has access to certain sections of your storage system.
