Scenario:
Air force personnel found that the double-decked shelving system on the flight line was extremely inefficient, with too much time spent scrambling up ladders, waiting for parts ordered from central storage to arrive, and cramming parts into the shelves to make them fit.

Solution:
An installed Spacesaver mobile system allowed storage of 50% more line items and reduced part retrieval times from as much as 50 minutes to less than 5 minutes.

     High-density mobile storage boosts productivity by staging tools and parts at point of use. Everything from parts and supplies to tools and uniforms can be stored efficiently for rapid deployment. Spacesaver systems are currently installed at the facilities of the Air Force, Air National Guard, U.S. Army and, most recently, the U.S. Navy.

     When designing a system, we take into account operation, performance, and safety:

• Your system can be programmed to automatically open the most frequently used aisle after the system has been inactive for a pre-determined period
  
  
• Stored materials can be protected from fire by linking the system electronically to the building's fire alarm or sprinkler system
  
  
• Remote control operation allows system to be opened, stopped or reset from a distance
  
  
• Programmable features can be added, deleted or change
  
  
• Smoothest carriage movement with the largest selection of guidance systems in the industry. Reduced wheel friction adds life to your system.
  
  
• User protection is built-in and automatic. All systems are equipped with the Zero Force Sensor™ system, or safety floor and safety sweep, which automatically protect users and objects when activated.
  
  
• Stored material is also protected. The photoelectric safety sweep will detect objects on the floor and will shut down the system when detected.
  
  
• Spacesaver carriages have a minimum 1000 lb per foot load capacity. Your Spacesaver system will be designed to handle whatever you want to put on it.

     With the widest selection of operational features and the greatest array of safety options on the market today, Spacesaver systems can be designed to suit your needs, from maintenance operations on aircraft carriers to everyday filing and parts storage.
