Leading Innovator of High Density Mobile
Storage Systems
Since 1965, Elecompack has been one of the world's leading innovators of high density mobile storage systems. Initially developed to withstand the tremendous seismic requirements of Japan and the rest of the Pacific Rim, Elecompack's unique design has helped clients around the world maximize their return on investment.
How do they do this? By building solutions that can double, and even triple, your storage capacity, without increasing square footage requirements. Additionally, Elecompack's products provide efficient storage that allows you to make additional space available for other uses (see below).
Elecompack continually strives to maintain its status as a leader in compact shelving design, engineering, and quality. Their 10-year warranty is the longest in the industry, and guarantees your system will be providing superior service for many years to come.
Read on to learn more about how Elecompack's products can make your organization more efficient.
Maximizing Space
Since it's introduction, the
"mobile shelving concept" has provided a cost effective way for users to
maximize capacity, while minimizing space requirements.
Since access is rarely required to all materials simultaneously, shelving units are compacted together, reducing wasted space. Instead of aisles between every shelving unit, aisles are created when and where they are needed within the system. Using this simple concept, floor requirements can be reduced by as much as 70%.
Quality is in the Design
The reason for our superior engineering and longer system life is our unique integrated design. While most other systems on the market simply attach shelving to mobile carriages, Elecompack's patented design integrates shelving and carriage together, providing more strength and less chance for disaster.
But the secret to our design isn't as simple as that. Across every technical specification, we provide the highest standards in the industry. If you would like to see more technical information about what makes Elecompack different, please click here.
Applications
The versatility of the Elecompack system makes it possible to mount virtually any type of filing or storage equipment on their carriages. With thousands of Elecompack systems in use throughout the world, they can most likely refer you to a system that has already solved a storage problem like yours.
Electrical
Products
There are basically two types of mobile systems on the market today,
mechanical and electric. The only real difference between the two is the
method by which the carriages are set in motion. All manufacturers are
limited to the same basic systems.
Although both systems operate on the same principle, a mechanical system
is one in which the user provides the power to drive the carriages via
side mounted rotating handles. Across the industry, these handles have
slightly different designs, but they all do the same job: through a
system of gears, they transfer physical effort into movement of the
carriages.
Mechanical systems are the most cost effective as they perform their
duties without the aid of additional electrical motors. They work very
well in all but the most demanding environments. For a more complete
description of Elecompack's mechanical systems,

Electrical
Electrical systems require just that, electricity, to power the motors
that drive the carriages. Through a simple push of a button, massive
amounts of weight can be set in motion.
A computer-based security system can be integrated with the drive system to provide totally automated detection, safety, and security features.
Although a little more expensive than mechanical systems, electrical systems provide the utmost in convenience, performance, and safety for discerning users. Please click here to learn more about these systems.
ESS 2002™ Surveillance System
Today, business and academia face more security considerations than ever before. Elecompack has developed the first system that will offer a high level of protection even while staffing levels are at a minimum. Every activity in every open aisle of all modules will have a visual monitoring system as well as a permanent visual record of all usage.

Avoid Disasters
The photo below was taken shortly
after one of Los Angeles' numerous earthquakes where a competitor's
shelving system sustained serious damage. As the photo shows, the
shelving itself failed, despite the addition of x-braces, which are
designed to protect against "racking" (i.e., side-to-side movement of
the shelving).

"The University, in conjunction with the architectural firm of Kehrt Shatken Sharon, evaluated the compact shelving market rather extensively before deciding to purchase Elecompack. The primary reason Princeton selected Elecompack was its overall structural integrity and safety." (David Zaiser, Architect, Kehrt Shatken Sharon) |

"In the library field, the
average collection grows between five and ten percent each year,
so you have to think of collection management in terms of
quarter centuries. Elecompack's mobile shelving was the best
storage system for our long range expansion plan."
