SSI and Designers


     As collectivity "problem solvers," SSI specialists are often called on to work with architects and designers to devise customized solutions to clients' facility storage requirements utilizing a variety of storage solutions and products.

     Because we have worked with many different designers, we are able to offer proven concepts, documents and drawings, specifications, and a high degree of support to architects & designers in each phase of the project design:


Before
Conventional stationary storage units require space-wasting fixed aisles

After - 50% savings
Spacesaver systems eliminate all but one movable aisle and save 50% of the floor space for other uses...

After - doubled storage capacity
or double the storage capacity of the existing space
