Compact shelving is also known as compact storage, mobile shelving, mobile aisle shelving, movable shelving. It pertains to kind of shelving designed so that rows can be moved next to each other, with no intervening aisle, to provide dense storage.
Saving on space maybe achieved, by moving rows together, hence the possibility of eliminating aisles which also take space. An aisle can be created between two any rows as needed. Generally rows are parallel to each other, although they may be on a central pivot. Depending on the system, compact shelving may be moved using a manual crank or an electric motor.
