Side2Side transform under utilised space

Side2Side is the ideal Compactus for transforming

under utilised areas into efficient storage space. It’s

simple really! We just place a row of mobile shelving

in front of a row of static shelving.

05

Storage for Unconventional Space

Side2Side turns the most unconven-

tional areas into unique and

productive storage spaces.

Side2Side is perfect for alcoves,

narrow spaces and unusually

shaped rooms.

BEFORE - Static Shelving

06

AFTER - Side2Side

Greater access at any one time

Increase Productivity & Efficiency

Increase productivity and efficiency by locating more materials closer to the point-of-use. Side2Side eliminates the need

for permanent aisles, as all materials are accessed from the front of the unit, converting precious floor space to

storage space. By simply placing a row of mobile units in front of the existing Static Shelving, it has improved the

storage in this example by 66%.

Wasted Space

More Pick Faces

Side2Side also provides more

“pick-faces” and faster access

to stored items than conventionalCompactus units.7



Freetrack the ideal in-office

Compactus system

Freetrack provides high capacity in-office storage

together with speed of access. Create additional work-

space with this economical solution providing high

volume storage of items that need to be close at hand.

07

Perfectly Suited to Any Space

Unlike older style Base Mounted

Systems, Freetrack is far more

flexible. Not restricted by track

length you can tailor a system to

suit your available space. Simply cut

tracks to the required length.

Quicker, Easier and Cleaner

Tracks do not require a timber infill

nor do they require floor fixing.

Therefore, Freetrack is easy andcost effective to install, relocate or

reconfigure.

BEFORE - Static Shelving AFTER - Freetrack

Unique Tracks “Low-profile” tracks reduce trip

hazards and provide trolley and

wheelchair access. Tracks can be

spliced allowing for extension using

existing components.

Increase Document Availability

Quick and easy retrieval of information is critical in today’s business environment. Reduce downtime and increase

document availability by 100% with Freetrack as this example shows.

Multimedia CompactusClever use of standard components

allows a tailored multimedia solution

to be created. The 130mm deep

shelf makes it perfect for DVD’s,

CD’s and videos.

Light Weight Runners

By using ‘light weight’ runners

Freetrack does not require a heavy

base, thereby reducing operator

strain. This also means there is less

load imposed on the floor.

Stability In-built anti-tilt mechanism means

tracks do not require fixing to floor

surfaces and units do not require

overhead stabilisers.

7



mek the “safer” Compactus

mek drive is revolutionising in-office storage. It is the

lightest mechanically assisted mobile available by far.

This keeps floor loads to a minimum, a major consider-

ation in some high rise buildings. And best of all, its

unique belt-drive technology moves bays effortlessly

reducing operator strain and potential causes of injury.

09

Innovative Design

Ideal in any business or retail

environment, mek drive combines

high volume storage with quick,

easy and safe access to stored

items. Like Freetrack, mekdriveriv

is easily installed, relocated and

reconfigured.

Operator Safety The ergonomic hand wheel

combined with ultra light operation

reduces the risk of operator stress

and injury. The unique belt drive

technology provides whisper quiet

operation.

Unique Low-Profile Tracksmek drive has multiple tracks

allowing better distribution of floor

loads and can be easily adjusted for

floor settlement.

Low-profile tracks are not fixed to

floor surfaces, so units can be easily

relocated or expanded as needs

require.

Move More Safely

The revolutionary mek drive allows you to double your storage space whilst not compromising operator safety. The

example below shows that by replacing the older style Base Mounted Mobile with a mek drive Compactus, storagecapacity has increased by 100%.

Multi-Bayperfect for bulk storage in the office & “back-of-house”in retail outlets

Multi-Bay’s fixed floor-track system caters for uneven

floor surfaces. It is ideal for the bulk storage of any

regularly accessed item in the office, back-of-house

in a retail area, library, warehouse or small archive.

11



12

Carry Greater LoadsMulti-Bay carries significantly

greater loads due to its strong

and rigid track and base system.

Its bolt together construction means

a variety of lengths are available

enhancing the systems flexibility

and modularity.

Ergonomic Safety The ergonomically designed hand

wheel on Multi-Bay provides a safe

means for operating the unit. All

drive mechanisms are concealed

behind the units finishing panels.

Safe and Solid PlatformMulti-Bay is fitted with an infill floor

between the tracks to provide a safe

and solid working platform. The infill

platform is met by a ‘walk-up’ ramp.

Carpet floor coverings can be relaid

over the timber.

BEFORE - Static Shelving AFTER - Multi-Bay

Improve Storage Density

Why let aisles occupy costly floor space? Improve storage density and make the best use of available floor space by

converting static storage units to Multi-Bay. By removing two of the aisles in the example below, this office has

improved its storage capacity by 50%.





Archive state-of-the-art high volume storage

Archive is a state-of-the-art, high volume storage unit.

Its variable gearing enables the operator to move very

heavy loads of up to 35 tonnes with absolute ease.

Designed to exacting standards to stand the test-of-

time, it is the leading system for the long term storage

of items in archives, museums, libraries and galleries.

13

Smart Design

The ergonomic design of the hand

crank incorporates rotating knobs

at the end of each spoke. Various

locking systems can be incorpo-

rated within the standard hand

crank.



14

Rails “On Floor”Rails can be installed on an existing

finished floor. Rails are laid in

conjunction with a purpose designed

flooring system, to create a level

surface between rails and floor. The

height of the floor is usually 40 -

50mm above floor level.

First Class AccessAll floors are finished with an

aluminium ramp providing trolley

and wheelchair access.

Rails “In-Floor”

Rails can also be installed level with

concrete floors, providing an infloor

finish.

Unique DesignRails are used to distribute floor

loads equally. The unique Inco rail

has a convex shape to accept the

concave rim of the guide wheel.

Emission Free

New emission free aluminium

flooring is designed specifically to

suit damp environments and where

the conservation of irreplacable

items is key.



15

Length is Our StrengthBases are available in a wide range

of sizes up to 12m. Bases are

crank-driven to move loads up to

35 tonnes.

Positive Drive

There are drive systems with

alternative gearing ratios that

ensure effortless movement

regardless of the weight of the

contents or the number of bays.

Anti-Tilt

An anti-tilt device located on the

base prevents the unit from tilting.

An overhead stabiliser can be added

if additional anti-tilt safety is

required.

In-Built Safety Features

The drive mechanism incorporates

a safety clutch system that limits

the operating force and protects

the operator from injuries caused

by backlash of the drive system.



16

Aisle Lock

An aisle lock is fitted to the hand

crank. When the knob is pushed in

the aisle is secured.

Floor Lock The floor lock, locks the total

system.

When security is the key

Where security of stored materials

is very important, Archive is the

perfect choice. Various locking

devices help protect contents from

unauthorised access.

Hand Crank Key Lock A hand crank key lock is used to

lock one or more mobile bases by

means of a key.

BEFORE - Layout limitations using competitive systems

AFTER - Archive flexibility allows new configurations

Increase Capacity and Pick-Faces Whilst Reducing Costs

Unlike many mobile systems on the market, the unique design properties of

Archive mean you can install units up to 12,000mm deep. In this example,

we compare competitor layouts with Archive. Archive increases storage

capacity by 22% plus the number of pick-faces by 9%. Costly hand crank

mechanisms have also reduced in number by 64%.

Inter Lock

The inter lock secures one particu-

lar aisle against access without a

key. The interlock is engaged when

the aisle is closed. The bases

remain joined until the inter lock is

disengaged by means of the euro

lock.



Power3

the intelligent Compactus

Power3 offers high capacity storage with a wide range

of intelligent operating functions controlled through a

‘one-touch’ pad. Ideal for the bulk storage of documents

or items that are frequently accessed or where long-

term security of the stored items is a priority, Power3

incorporates all the security features of Archive with

additional intelligent safety and security functions.

17

OH & S Conscious

In today’s Occupational Health and

Safety conscious environment,

Power3 eliminates risk of operator

strain and injury. Power3 can be

linked to climate control, lighting or

fire alarms. It also has a night time

setting option.

7



18

Touch Pad

The touch pad is located on the

front panel of the mobile or static

base. By touching the pad the unit

will move either left or right. The

touch pad also allows programming

and access control via transponder

keys.

Distance Sensor

Soft ‘start and stop’ ensures

vibration-free, safe movement.

Programmable distance sensors

allow you to adjust the base

stopping distance to allow for

overhanging materials.

Motion Detector (Option)

The motion detector is an infra-red

motion sensor. When it detects

motion in the aisle, the aisle cannot

be closed for a certain period of

time. One or two sensors can be

used per aisle.

Transponder Keys

There are two kinds of keys -

transponder accessing keys and

transponder programming keys. The

access keys open up secured aisles

and programming keys are used to

turn on and off program settings.

Infra-Red Photo Cell (Option)When an aisle is closing and the

photo cell infra-red beam is

interrupted by an object or person

the main power to the motors is cut

off. Photo cells can be applied to

one side or both sides of the aisle.

Safety PlinthThe safety plinth enables persons in

a closing aisle to stop the moving

mobiles. By kicking or hitting the

lower part of the plinth, the main

power to the motors is cut off.

Objects left in the aisles will activate

safety plinths causing the power to

cut off. A safety plinth can be applied

to one or both sides of the aisle. The

safety plinth acts as an alternative to

the infra-red photo cell.Passive Block Safety (Option)

A ‘passive’ safety system forces the

operator to look into the opened

aisle before another aisle can beopened.

Motor Current Monitoring System

(MCMS)

As a standard safety feature all

Power3 control systems incorporate

the MCMS. This system monitors

the electric current being utilised by

the motor. When the system

detects a change in the current due

to pressure against a moving mobile

the MCMS control system issues an

emergency stop command and the

mobile movement ceases.



Double Decker maximum use of the cube

Double Decker offers optimum use of space in higher

buildings. Double Decker incorporates all the benefits

of Power3 while offering ultimate space efficiency. One

touch operation of the pad provides user friendly and

safe operation on both levels. Vibration-free movement,

thanks to the soft start and stop feature, ensures that

documents stay in place during retrieval.

19

Space Efficiency

Achieve the best space efficiency in

buildings with ceiling heights greater

than 4.5m. The unique mezzanine

construction carries the weight of

the operator only.
