MOBILE CARRIAGE SYSTEMS


By mounting shelving units and storage cabinets on wheeled carriages that travel on rails, Spacesaver High- Density Mobile Storage Systems eliminate the need for multiple fixed aisles, freeing floor space for other more productive uses.


Standar d Carriage Length Spacesaver Mechanical Assist carriages are available in standard lengths up to 45 feet (13.7m). Greater carriage lengths are possible, depending on system load factors.


Load Carrying Capacity Each carriage has a minimum load carrying capacity of 1,000 lb. (1,500 kg) per linear foot (meter). Your local Area Contractor can provide weight analyses and offer structural strategies to accommodate heavier system floor loads.


Flexible Rail Layout By adjusting rail size, spacing and orientation, floor loads can be optimally distributed at practical bearing points.


Welded-Steel Uniframe Carriage Spacesaver’s welded-steel carriages ensure that all drive train


components retain their alignment, eliminating binding, racking and misalignment of carriage and shelving. Their rigid, uniframe design has no exposed fasteners to loosen or break.


Wheels And Rails Carriage wheels and rails are fabricated and precision-machined for maximum strength and system life.


Optional One-Piece Structural Rail System Available one-piece rail systems have no butt joints or


welds. Their tongue-and-groove design restricts lateral movement and provides greater structural rigidity.


Fully-Grouted Rails All rails are fully supported and grouted to evenly distribute system weight. They are not installed using shims, which can cause carriage rails to flex and the system to malfunction.


Synchronized Drive System A synchronized drive transmits power to both sides of the carriage, not just one, providing positive tracking – even with unbalanced loads. Not only are system stability and performance enhanced, wear is reduced. Line shaft drive is also available.


Flexible Guidance Systems To reduce friction and facilitate smoother tracking, Spacesaver carriages are available with a variety of guidance systems. Your local Area Contractor will help you select the system best suited for your application.


Matched Drive Ratios Spacesaver Mechanical Assist carriages can be equipped with a number of different drive ratios. By appropriately matching the system drive ratio to the load, operation becomes smooth and effortless. Very little force or exertion is needed to open an aisle.


Chain Tensioner To assure the smoothest possible operation, an integrated chain tensioner can be easily adjusted to fine-tune the carriage drive. This can be accomplished in seconds as a minor service adjustment, without disassembly of the system.


Recessed Carriage/Welded Shelving Uprights Spacesaver carriages are designed for maximum


stability. Their welded steel uprights and recessed mounting of shelving and cabinets enhance the structural integrity of the system. Storage housings become an integral part of the carriage, ensuring that they won’t shift position or lose their alignment.


Anti-Tip Protection Built-in anti-tip devices are engineered to comply with all seismic requirements, providing an extra measure of system stability and safety – even in areas prone to earthquakes.
