What is Hand Crank Shelving?
Hand crank shelving (Mobile Shelving) is a mobile shelving system consisting of shelving units mounted on a movable base that slides along rails. It ensures optimal space utilization and efficient, cost-effective distribution of stored items. The sliding mechanism can be manual (hand-operated) or semi-automatic.
Key Advantages:
- Manual hand retrieval
- Up to 95% fill rate
- 100% access to items
- Requires only one aisle
- Fast and accurate inbound/outbound operations
Hand crank shelving is used for high-priority items that require quick access. Its special design allows 360-degree rotation, enabling users to easily reach and retrieve items without excessive movement.
Structure of Hand Crank Shelving
The structure consists of two main parts: the shelving section and the mobile frame, combined into a mobile storage system that optimizes space.
Shelving Section:
- Shelving frame
- Beams
- Rear end panel
- Mobile base
- Steel shelves
- Operating hand crank
- Front end panel
- Guide rails
Mobile Frame Section:
- Guide rails
- Bearing supports
- Drive shaft
- Shelving lift frame
- Drive wheels
- Hand crank (steering wheel)
- Gear and chain drive system
Additionally, basic and connected rows include a locking brake to secure the unit in the desired position. Each row typically has 5 levels for documents. Each level features 2 small steel shelves sized (290 × 840) mm, with a maximum load of 500 kg per level.
Unlike static shelving such as medium-duty racks or slotted-angle racks, hand crank shelving is a dynamic system. Therefore, its structure and technical specifications differ significantly.
