High-density mobile systems are designed to increase storage capacity by eliminating fixed aisles. Unlike traditional static shelving, these systems reduce wasted space by mounting cabinets or shelving on carriages that move along rails. This blog compares Montel and Spacesaver high-density storage solutions to help you determine which option aligns best with your requirements.
