Safety Devices Available for Mobile Shelving Systems - What you need to know!

Greetings!
Welcome back! When talking to our clients about mobile shelving, safety is almost always a concern, and rightfully so! However, deciding which safety features doesn't have to be complicated, especially when you're working with an experienced storage design consultant. Actually, safety has been paramount in Spacesaver's engineering of its storage systems from the very beginning. In fact, Spacesaver has pioneered virtually every significant safety device in the industry!
Conducting a Safety Needs Assessment: Our job as storage design consultants is to ensure that the client gets the safety system that is best for their unique needs. We determine the best safety solution by asking a few simple questions. For instance; Will the system be fairly active or inactive? Will it be in a restricted access area with limited users or open to all employees? Is it in a public or private access environment?

SAFETY OPTION 1: Mechanical Safety Sweep
Safety Sweep - Small As the most basic safety option available for high-density mobile shelving, the mechanical safety sweep provides in-aisle safety for users and objects on the floor of an aisle with a pressure sensitive, hinged panel running the length of each carriage at foot level. The mechanical safety sweep is compatible with all Spacesaver mechanical assist and powered carriages.

Major Benefit: The safety sweep protects users and material with in-aisle safety.

SAFETY OPTION 2: Photo Sweep

Photo Sweep Safety Photo sweep represents the baseline of safety devices available on powered systems. The photo sweep uses photoelectric technology to provide protection for people and objects in open aisles. Essentially, when the photo-electric beam is broken, the moving carriage will stop. 

Watch the video demonstration of Spacesaver's Photo Sweep technology!

Major Benefit: Provides in-aisle safety for users and material but does not require pressure to activate. The carriage will stop immediately when the light beam is broken, BEFORE the carriage touches the object blocking the aisle.

SAFETY OPTION 3: Aisle-Entry Safety Sensor

Aisle Entry with Sensor As an add-on feature, the aisle-entry sensor can be used with the photo sweep option, which uses the same infrared photoelectric technology to enhance a system's level of security.

Major Benefit: Protects users who enter a closing aisle.

SAFETY OPTION 4: Zero-Force Sensor System (ZFS) 

Zero-Force Sensor Safety There are usually two reasons to choose Spacesaver's ZFS safety features; Productivity and Safety. ZFS is ideal for high-activity areas and provides the 'passive' method of protecting people and objects in the open aisles of mobile storage systems.

Major benefit: ZFS is a microprocessor controlled infrared photoelectric system that requires no conscious effort or weight pressure to stop or prevent carriage movement when a person or object is detected. ZFS detects virtually anything on the floor of an aisle and provides for automatic reset.
