Considerations for Vertical Storage System Design
Each Vertical Storage System consists of 2 uprights connected via a drive shaft with paneling covering the outside of the machine. Each unit has an ergonomic access opening available at a seated or standing position with a fixed work counter. The fixed seated position access opening will meet all requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act and Section 508 of the Rehab Act for access.
Inside of each Vertical Storage System is a Ferris wheel type structure with a chain being driven through a motor and carriers (shelves) rotating around in a vertical manner. Files are brought to the operator at the access opening when the number of the shelf is called for on the controller. Units are standard with a locking door for security requirements.
Machines require a dedicated power source 110V 20 AMP dedicated breaker per unit.
Carriers Available
Please note that each unit is set up with only one height clearance for shelves set-up throughout the entire unit. File folders stored at an 11″ pitch will not accommodate an 11.5″ H binder in the same unit.
