The cost of storage space has become quite expensive for those needing to store stock, documents, and files outside of their business premises. One advantage of compactus units is that they can provide more storage within the same footprint as traditional shelving and filing cabinets. Space Rescue supplies, delivers and installs compactus units for offices and warehouses within Melbourne, Geelong, and surrounding regional areas.

1. Advantages of Compactus Units

Frees Up Space
Changing an old static shelving system to a compactus enables businesses to claim back some of the space they had previously designated for storage. The reason for this is that a compactus takes up less room than a conventional shelving system. This enables you to repurpose the space that has been freed up.

Cost-Effective Solution
The incorporation of a compactus storage system in to your business is quite a cost-effective solution to storage problems. This becomes apparent when you way up the investment against the time, interruption and expense involved that a relocation within Melbourne brings. Other alternatives include expensive alterations to your building.

Flexibility
One of the great advantages of a compactus is that they may be used to store a wide variety of items. This not only includes document files, folders, archive boxes but also items of all shapes and sizes from a variety of industries. The reason this is possible is due to several factors. Firstly, the vertical spacing between shelves can be tailored to the height of the item stored. This is possible as the internal shelves are all adjustable. Another factor is the large variety of shelf sizes.

3. Sizing Options

There is a lot of flexibility available when configuring a compactus unit for our Melbourne customers. For instance you can choose the number of shelf storage levels. While we need a bottom shelf and a top shelf bolted in position for bay stability, we can vary the number of internal adjustable shelves that are supported by shelf clips. This need not be the same across all bays within the unit. In addition to being able to use different bay widths (that is 300mm, 400mm, 450mm, and 600mm) within the same unit, we can also vary the number of shelf storage levels.
