  • 1.  High Bay Mobile Shelving

    Posted May 22, 2025 08:43 AM

    Does anyone have high bay mobile shelving in their offsite facility? I'm curious to hear more about this option, the good, bad and questions to consider when thinking about these options. I was perusing the Patterson Pope website yesterday and saw them. I'm not sure I've ever seen them in a library storage facility. Thanks!

    Hi Beth,

     

    If you haven't seen it yet, SpaceSaver has some case studies from Western Michigan University and an anonymous university library: https://www.spacesaver.com/products/high-density-mobile-systems/high-bay-mobile-system Might give you some leads!

     

    Thanks,

    Charlotte

    Hello Beth,

    In addition to the members of the LSIG that have XTend Mobile or Static High Bay, we have an additional resource that lists the locations of all Spacesaver High Bay installations across North America; I've attached a copy here.  If there are any organizations of interest that are not a part of the LSIG, we can certainly put you in touch with them to discuss any questions you may have regarding their equipment and/or the design process.   

    I've also attached a brochure that outlines some of the more common topics to consider when planning High Bay for an offsite facility and will be happy to directly answer any questions you have about this product line. 

    Thank you!
