The biggest issue I've run into with installing mobile shelving is the live floor load capacity.
Is the installation on a ground floor or basement with solid high weight-bearing floors? Or is it being installed on an upper floor of a building.
An Engineering analysis of the floor load capacity for the 'live' load of a fully stocked shelving unit is imperative. The live load is much more critical than static floor load from furniture and equipment, since the shelving will be moving across the floor. In a high-rise, the shelving rows must also be installed perpendicular to the floor support joists to spread the weight evenly across the joists. We had to redesign several file rooms to accommodate for this in the past, as well as remove sections of planned shelving to keep within the acceptable weight limits for the moving shelving.

Subject: Mobile Shelving Systems - feedback appreciated
A client is looking into installing a mobile shelving system to maximize
space. They have a quote from a local company that would install a track-
based mobile shelving system from Montel (http://www.montel.com/en).
I am reaching out to know if there are any “lessons learned”, pros/cons, or
factors to consider to converting to or using these systems. Feedback
doesn't necessarily need to be about the specific company and would
appreciate any insight on installation and use of mobile shelving systems.
Many thanks,
Carmen Lowe
