Records Storage - Medium Density

C&SS has been an innovative force in designing records and file storage solutions for the information management industry. Records box storage and retrieval systems are used in many applications. Standard records boxes are 13" wide x 10" high x 16" deep, and files can be easily transferred from file cabinets into this size box. Boxes are usually barcoded and scanned into location.

Files that are active and require quick access can be stored on 1-high, 1-deep shelves. Files that require the fastest possible access time are best suited using records storage - open shelf file & retrieval systems. A more common configuration in box storage is 2-high, 2-deep shelving. This technique increases the amount of storage, and is less expensive. For maximum density storage using 3-high, 3-deep see high density records storagey. Records box storage can be single-level or multi-level with catwalk aisles, depending on the size of the available warehouse area.

The following criteria needs to be addressed when designing high density records box storage systems:
- Storage volume and warehouse layout: ceiling height, dock doors, exit doors, office area, and column locations? Temporay or permanent location?
- Capacity: What are your needs today and tomorrow? What type of storage expansion phasing will meet your needs?
- Type of storage: record archive boxes, open files, medical files, architectural plans, digital media
- Storage & retrieval: file management software, shipping & receiving operations, number of employees, order picking carts & ladders, scanners, RFID?
- Verticle Recipricating Conveyors (VRC): material elevators, conveyors, stairs to access upper levels, and other equipment involved in storage systems.
- Sprinkler system: overhead and in-rack sprinklers?
- Energy efficient lighting: T5, T8, light timers, automatic sensory lighting?

Conveyor & Storage Solutions
C&SS is ready to assist you and your company to achieve your objectives through improved material handling. We can schedule a meeting to evaluate your needs and review your options.
