Archive Shelving

Storage systems for boxed files and records

Archive storage racking is used for storing file boxes containing paper records such as legal documents that typically require long-term retention in records management facilities. Made up of roll formed pallet rack, connected by multiple catwalk racking systems and stairways, archive shelving allows for maximum storage density since most file boxes become relatively inactive over time. 

We offer two styles of archive shelving systems: (1) "Catwalk," where workers hand pick boxes, and (2) "Order picker," where an operator uses an order picker vehicle
