Lab Cold Room Shelving
Do you need to optimize every cubic inch of your cold storage space? We can help increase capacity in new or existing walk-in coolers, freezers, and cold storage warehouses, and we have decades of experience in highly regulated healthcare settings, lab cold room and pharmaceutical manufacturing environments. Spacesaver Storage Solutions has an answer for you.
Benefits of using our Cold Room Shelving:
It allows you to:
Make the Most of Cold Space
Improve efficiency in freezers and coolers with Spacesaver high-density storage systems.
Maximize Storage Volume
Eliminate wasted space to gain capacity in your existing cold room.
Save Energy
A full freezer is an efficient freezer. Maximize density to save energy.
Cut Costs
Consolidate storage to save staff time and reduce utility bills.
Improve Inventory Control
With 100% selectivity and full visibility, our systems simplify inventory control and facilitate compliance.
Keep it clean
Maintain a clean, organized environment with stainless steel and antimicrobial coating options.
HOW IT WORKS
Traditional shelving or racking wastes space in every aisle. Wasted space leads to wasted resources, so we help you fill up those empty aisles and put them to work.
How do we do it? The ActivRAC® Mobilized Storage System mounts shelving or racking on “carriages” that slide along rails in the floor. This eliminates wasted space and consolidates stored items into a smaller space.
Our high-density compact shelving allows you to store more vaccines, test samples, or supplies and equipment.
Here is an example of how we have helped a lab.
The Challenge
Optimize Cold Storage Space in a Laboratory
A diagnostic laboratory conducts medical testing for hundreds of thousands of state residents. In response to an urgent need to process more of the tests, a new lab was constructed in only two months by building out 30,000 square feet of shelled space inside the existing 150,000-square-foot facility.
The existing lab was processing 7500 tests daily, and its capacity will increase by approximately 50,000 more tests per day when the addition is fully operational.
Spacesaver compact shelving systems move along rails to optimize space.
The Solution
Lab Cold Room Shelving that Moves on Rails
To support all the supplies and materials required to maintain a six-fold increase in capacity, the lab needed three compact shelving systems from Spacesaver: one system for materials management and two lab cold room shelving systems for storing test kits in refrigerated rooms.
The Spacesaver high-density shelving systems in the refrigerated rooms feature aluminum tread flooring on a “false floor” that is easy to clean and will allow the system to be moved in the future if needed. To improve visibility into the specially treated wire shelving, staff opted for half-height end panels with clear plexiglass extending to full height. The plexiglass ensures that kits won’t fall off the ends while also allowing quick visual inspection.
Due to this project’s extremely tight deadlines, Spacesaver shipped the rails to the construction site while factory workers were still manufacturing the rest of the order. This allowed the local installation crew to keep pace with the lab’s rapid build-out.
The Result
Optimized Shelving Space in the Lab’s Refrigerated Rooms
The Spacesaver shelving on rails optimizes every cubic foot of space in the lab’s walk-in cold rooms. Staff can easily open and close aisles using hand cranks, and the system is clean and safe. Most importantly, area residents can get their test results more quickly due to the lab’s increased capacity.
