The Economic Benefits of High-Density Shelving
It's all about the bottom line...
Switching to high-density mobile storage can immediately increase storage capacity in an existing facility by 50 to 100 percent, oftten helping an organization avoid the expense and hassle of a move or new construction.
By allowing facilities to reduce existing space or minimize the total volume of a new building, high-density mobile storage can yield (or contribute to) savings in all these areas.

Spacesaver & LEED
Understanding how Spacesaver can help in obtaining a LEED rating for your project
How can Spacesaver assist your projects in obtaining a LEED rating?
Co-written by Spacesaver's own Chris Batterman and LEED accredited professional Alfred Herzog, Emory University - The Role of Compact Storage in Green Building Design helps to explain exactly how compact storage can assist projects in obtaining a LEED rating.
When considering a LEED project, Spacesaver can make a difference in five of the six categories:
Category 1 - Sustainable Sites By allowing a dramatic increase - as much as 50 to 100 percent - in on-site storage over conventional, stationary storage methods, high-density mobile storage systems may help reduce building size, thus reduce site disturbance and preserve open space. By greatly expanding the on-site storage capability, an existing facility could be renovated, thus allowing the shell to be retained.
Spacesaver can help in four other categories as well! Read the full article here.

Green Manufacturing
Spacesaver's Five Key Components of Green Manufacturing
Recycled Water
Spacesaver uses recycled water to thoroughly clean its products before painting. This solvent-free process, called aqueous degreasing, along with strict quality control, prevents greenhouse emissions and eliminates heavy metals from wastewater. The process is so effective that products need only be painted with a single coat to meet or exceed industry standards.
Powder-Coat Painting
A solvent free process, Spacesaver's powder-coat painting process is also highly efficient. The powdered paint is confined and reclaimed to minimize waste. Ninety-seven percent of the paint ends up on a product. Powder-coat paint, which requires no primer, also smoothes metallic "burrs", eliminating the need for grinding or filing.
