Scenario: A hospital must consolidate multi-floor location of pharmaceuticals to one central location. Solution must provide compact, easily accessible storage of differently sized and differently packaged products. Solution: Install PharmaStor system of electric mobile shelf units. Prevent injury by including a safety mechanism that disables motion of shelving while accessed by staff.

There is hardly a department in a hospital or health care facility that is not saturated in the storage of records, central supplies, x-rays, pharmaceuticals, surgical and pathology supplies, histology specimens, reference libraries and even food services. Such a vast range of storage requirements necessitates an inherent adaptability and design flexibility for the storage systems used. Spacesaver storage systems can accommodate such a variety of demands.

Some of the departments and applications which can benefit from a Spacesaver analysis include: Radiology Department. X-rays are among the heaviest and most space-consuming of all hospital records. Using Spacesaver high-density storage systems can cut the floor space needed for x-ray storage in half, while still maintaining complete accessibility for technicians. It can also allow storage of more x-rays per unit floor space because of Spacesaver carriages' large load-bearing capacity. Administrative Records Storage. Spacesaver mobile filing systems not only free up floor space and allow complete accessibility, they can also accommodate your current filing system, whether tab, suspension or expanding files, or computer media such as computer tapes and seals, computer disc packs and computer print-outs. Pathology Storage. Access to specimens and lab supplies determines the efficiency level of the pathology department. With integrated Spacesaver mobile systems for storing glass tissue slides, surgical and autopsy specimens, paraffin blocks, chemicals for dyes and stains, and hematology supplies, lab personnel can quickly access the exact supplies they need, even after hours and on weekends when the supply area is not manned. Pharmacy Storage. Because of the high activity level in this area, total accessibility and easy retrieval are essential. Spacesaver mobile storage systems provide an unequalled level of access combined with flexible housing systems to accommodate the various sizes of packets, cases, bottles, and containers which must be stored in this area. Food Storage. With the growing need for spacesaving systems in the frozen food area, Spacesaver's highly space-efficient systems lend themselves to a customized design to fit any existing food freezer storage area. They will readily accept the heavy-duty braceless, stainless steel wire type shelving that is especially suited for food storage. Even when stacked with canned goods, the mobile carriages can be moved with little effort--about 7 lbs of force for each ton of carriage weight. We use sub-zero grade bearings and lubricants to ensure ease of use in freezer storage areas.     Other areas for which Spacesaver systems are aptly suited include medical records storage bulk supply storage linen supply personal effects storage medical libraries SSI can show you how a high-density storage system can save you floor space, energy, and money, and add a highly desirable element of organization and efficiency to your hospital operation.
