Low-Profile Mobile Shelving
Available with Powered and Mechanical Assist controls, our low-profile High-Density Mobile Shelving system, Wheelhouse®, packs more of whatever you’re storing into your available space. Its efficient design uses less steel and is manufactured from recycled materials and low-emitting finishes, making it both durable and sustainable. The surface of the carriage’s bottom shelf rides only 4¼" over the top of the rail, allowing users to store more in less space and meet local building code requirements.
Benefits of Low-Profile HDMS
- Easy to reconfigure, expand, and relocate
- Cost-effective and minimally disruptive installation
- Interchangable carriage wheel housing design allows for future growth and reconfiguration

Low-Profile Mobile Shelving Safety Options
Concerned about safety? We are, too. That’s why we offer multiple safety options for the use, entry, and operation of our mobile storage systems.
1. Safety Sweep
Full protection for people and objects in open HDMS aisles by automatically stopping carriage movement upon contact.
2. Photo Sweep®
An infrared light beam projected the length of the carriage at its base, stops system movement when broken.
3. Aisle Entry Sensor
If a person enters a closing aisle, cross-aisle sensors stop the system from moving when triggered.
