OverviewCompatta Light is a semi-automatic mobile compact shelving system made of shelving units mounted on mobile bases that run on floor-integrated rails driven by a motorization mechanism. Moving the bases opens an access aisle to the stored material. The operator can open and close aisles manually by push-handle, handwheel or using the control panel located on the front of each mobile base.
Key advantages- Space saving: saves over 50% of floor space compared with conventional shelving.
- Capacity increase: up to 90% more storage capacity on the same footprint.
- Protection: shields stored items from unauthorized access, light, dust and humidity.
- High accessibility and selectivity of stored items.
- Efficient capacity/cost ratio and low maintenance costs.
Functional features and accessories- Movement options: manual push, handwheel operation, electro-mechanical with control panel.
- Mobile bases up to 12 m long.
- Integrated anti-tilt systems.
- Seismic design available.
- DUPLEX model available to create a second shelving level accessible by attached stairs.
- Front and rear panels available in various colors (standard grey and other finishes).
- Safety sensors: photoelectric barriers on entry fronts and inside aisles to stop movement if operators or obstacles are detected.
- Interior customization for different materials (books, lever-arch files, suspension folders, maps, paintings, electronic media, etc.).
