What is compact shelving in a library?

A compact shelving library is a library solution that maximizes storage capacity within a limited space by using electric or manual mechanical devices to retract and move bookshelves. This type of library typically consists of a movable base and fixed shelves; the base moves when books need to be retrieved.

Features of Compact Shelving Library

1. Maximized Space Utilization:Compact shelving can even double the storage space per square foot. Libraries can focus their efforts on acquiring more resources rather than paying for the space to store them.

2. High Safety: Compact shelving library are typically equipped with anti-tipping and braking devices to prevent shelves from tipping over and ensure their safety during movement.

3. Environmentally Friendly: Using compact shelving reduces energy consumption by minimizing space requirements. Less space means smaller buildings can be constructed, reducing the need for heating and lighting.

4. High Load-Bearing Capacity: The use of cast iron rollers and a scientifically designed structure ensures stable load-bearing capacity even under high-density storage conditions.

Types of Compact Rack Systems

1.Compact shelving library

Libraries have high storage needs, requiring large quantities of books and materials to fit within limited floor space. Compact racking systems perfectly address this need, allowing libraries to store more collections without increasing their floor space.

2. Office Compact Racks

Office compact racking systems are designed to maximize efficiency within limited spaces, providing intelligent solutions for document and archive storage.

3. Industrial Compact Racks

Industrial compact racking systems are generally designed for storing heavy-duty items without requiring additional facilities. The robust and durable system can withstand the weight of industrial tools and large equipment. Industrial compact racking is ideal for warehouses and factories.
