Q.  How much increase in filing or storage capacity can I expect from a high density mobile system?
A. A typical system will double the capacity of a given area but can increase it as much as 400% if your files are now in 4 or 5-drawer file cabinets. Here’s how: First, by replacing file cabinets with 8-level file shelving, you more than double the number of files per square foot of floor space. Then, by “mobilizing” the shelving, you double again the number of shelving sections by eliminating the empty, wasted aisle space between them.
   
Q. Does high density storage offer other benefits in addition to space savings?
A. Yes. Productivity: By consolidating your files or stored material in a compact area, especially on open shelves, access time is reduced, large numbers of files are visible at once, misfiles are reduced, walking distances are usually less especially if some of your records are now kept in another room or the basement, or off-site entirely. Security: An entire mobile system can be locked to prevent unauthorized access to the contents. Versatility: A SpaceNow! high density system can hold many things in addition to files such as: books, office supplies, forms, inventory, samples, parts, collections, etc.
   
Q. You say that a SpaceNow! System is not anchored to the floor. How can it be stable enough to hold the weight?
A. Because all the rails and all the deck panels are bolted together to form a single, monolithic platform that simply cannot move. In fact, the more weight on the system, the more stable it becomes. (See the Rail and Deck Cross-section below.)
   
Q. How does SpaceNow! compare in terms of quality and durability?
A. The SpaceNow! System is a premium quality, heavy-duty product capable of the highest weight-carrying capacity of any system offered to the office and record storage market. This means many years of trouble-free, maintenance-free operation. Thousands of installations throughout the country have proven its quality, durability and value.
   
Q. Do you offer any warranty?
A. Yes, for a lifetime! For as long as you own the system we will replace or repair any part found defective in materials or workmanship and including any part that wears out even in normal use. For one (1) year we will also provide or pay for the labor involved.
   
Q. What kind of ongoing maintenance must I perform?
A. Virtually none. A SpaceNow! System, properly installed, requires no maintenance. We suggest occasional vacuuming of the deck.
   
Q. What should I know about safety?
A. The SpaceNow! System incorporates a number of safety features: Low-profile deck only 1¾" high with sloped front molding; flush rails with no open channels in the deck; non-slip, ribbed vinyl deck surface; large rubber bumpers to provide generous finger clearance between closing sections. In addition, you may order optional Aisle Keepers™ which allow you to lock open the aisle you’re working in. The designers of the SpaceNow! System have over 40 years’ experience and thousands of installations with an unblemished safety record.
   
Q. How long do I have to wait for delivery after I order a System?
A. For standard systems in standard colors, SpaceNow! can ship in five business days or fewer. Special colors and sizes may take longer, the time depending on what
is ordered.
