Trackless mobile shelving easy to relocate
A trackless mobile shelving system that promises to transform high density storage has been launched by Link 51.
The trackless system is said to be easy-to-install and provides clear and easy access to open aisles throughout the installation. Featuring a single guide rail attached to the floor along the wall to keep the shelving unit aligned, this design feature means the floor can be reinstated with minimum effort if the shelving needs to be relocated.
The new design removes the need for the usual fixed tracks, ensuring unobstructed aisles and easy access for trolleys or steps, as well as removing trip hazards for pedestrian users.
Link 51 marketing director Simon Baugh says the lack of tracks also helps the cleaning process because there are no grooves or crevices to catch and hold debris.
“This is a flexible and robust shelving system that will suit all working environments, from offices to archives, and hospitals to food manufacturing areas and especially where hygiene is a major consideration,” he adds.
“It can also be combined with our other shelving systems to meet your exact specifications for storage.”
Link 51’s trackless system complies with the European Accessibility Act. Clients can choose from manual or mechanical operation and an electrically powered drive system will be available in due course, while its ease of accessibility for kick steps, platforms and access equipment encourages staff to comply with health and safety and manual handling regulations when accessing upper shelves. Plus, the shelving can be locked into position to restrict access and provide extra security when needed.
The shelving units are also coated with a BioCote protective finish, a silver-based antimicrobial technology that reduces the risks associated with bacterial cross-contamination – a vital consideration for all public storage facilities, especially in health settings and food and drink related industries.
“We know our clients will welcome the additional benefits that our trackless system offers,” explains Simon. “We pride ourselves on providing the highest level of service and the launch of the trackless mobile is testament to how we continuously look to develop products that really deliver benefits for our customers.
Managers working in the public sector can procure Link 51’s trackless mobile system via the Government Procurement Service Framework Contract RM 1501/3.
Link 51 holds a four-year framework agreement with Government Procurement Service for the supply of shelving and high density storage to the public sector.
