Mobile Shelving System

Mobile shelving (also known as roller racking systems, rolling shelving, or compactus) is the most effective solution for maximising high density storage capacity in limited floor space. By mounting shelving units on wheeled carriages that move on floor tracks, mobile shelving eliminates fixed aisles and typically doubles storage capacity within the same footprint — making it the preferred choice for organisations across UAE

Our flagship product, the System R Space-Saver™, is exclusively supplied by Rackstor UK Ltd and remains the preferred choice for offices, archives, healthcare, and commercial environments. We provide a complete service covering mobile shelving installation, PUWER compliance inspections, repairs, servicing, and system relocation throughout England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.

Our expertise extends to specialist military and defence applications, including weapon racking, armoury storage systems, and high-security mobile shelving for military bases worldwide. From UK MOD facilities to NATO bases across Europe, US military installations, and defence operations in the Middle East and Asia-Pacific, Rackstor UK Ltd delivers secure, compliant weapon storage and mobile racking solutions engineered for the most demanding environments.

High Density Mobile Storage UK Benefits

High density mobile storage is transforming how UK organisations manage space. With commercial property costs continuing to rise across Bristol, Somerset, London, and other major centres, mobile shelving delivers measurable returns by maximising every square metre of your existing facility. Rather than investing in costly building extensions or off-site storage, roller racking systems allow you to store up to 100% more within the same footprint.

Across our 24+ years of mobile shelving installations in Somerset, Bristol, and throughout the UK, we consistently see clients achieve significant operational improvements. Archive departments reduce retrieval times by consolidating records into a single accessible location. Healthcare facilities meet CQC and NHS storage compliance standards without expanding their premises. Warehouses and distribution centres increase pick density and throughput by integrating chassis mobile shelving with existing pallet racking systems.

Mobile shelving also supports sustainability goals — by reducing the need for additional buildings, organisations lower their carbon footprint while achieving superior storage efficiency. Every System R Space-Saver™ installation is designed for long-term durability, with the added assurance that the entire system is 100% relocatable if your premises change.

Mobile Shelving FAQs

Common questions about mobile shelving systems, roller
Mobile shelving UK, also known as roller racking systems or compactus shelving, is a high density storage solution that mounts shelving units on wheeled carriages running along floor tracks. These units move laterally to create access aisles only when needed, eliminating the multiple fixed aisles required by static shelving. This typically doubles storage capacity within the same floor area—making it the most space-efficient storage system available for warehouses, offices, and archives across Bristol, Somerset, and the wider UK.
Mobile shelving typically increases storage capacity by 80-100% compared to static shelving in the same footprint. By eliminating fixed aisles, you only need one access aisle that moves with the shelving units, effectively doubling your usable storage space. In many installations across Bristol and Somerset, our clients have achieved even greater gains—particularly in archive rooms and medical records departments where every square metre counts.
Yes, we specialise in mobile shelving relocation across the UK. Our modular roller racking systems are 100% relocatable—no additional parts needed. Our qualified engineers carefully dismantle, transport, and reinstall systems at your new premises, including laying new floor tracks. We relocate all major brands including Bruynzeel, Kardex, Rackline, and others. View our dedicated mobile shelving relocation service for full details.
Mobile shelving systems require regular maintenance to ensure smooth operation and safety compliance. We offer comprehensive maintenance contracts including annual inspections, track cleaning, lubrication, and repairs. Under PUWER regulations (Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998), powered mobile shelving must be inspected at least annually by a competent person. Our SEMA-qualified engineers provide full PUWER inspection services throughout the UK.
Absolutely. Our System R Space-Saver™ handles up to 500kg per bay, while our Chassis mobile shelving system accommodates up to 1,000kg per bay. For even heavier applications, we can integrate mobile bases with pallet racking, widespan, or cantilever racking. Chassis mobile shelving is specifically engineered for industrial-grade loads in warehouses and distribution centres.
Mobile shelving installation time depends on the system size and complexity. A typical archive room installation takes 1-2 weeks including floor track installation, system assembly, and commissioning. Larger warehouse projects may take 3-4 weeks. We can phase installations to minimise disruption to your operations and work outside normal hours if required. All installations include staff training and handover documentation.
Manual mobile shelving uses hand-pull operation for lighter loads or mechanically assisted hand wheels with 4:1 gearing for heavier loads. Electric mobile shelving uses 24V DC motors activated by push button, providing effortless movement and options for computer control. Electric roller racking systems require annual PUWER inspections by a competent person. Both types are available with our System R Space-Saver™ and Chassis configurations.
