Shelving

​

Shelving for every application!

shelving systemsWe understand how the many types of shelving options can be overwhelming. The key is knowing the right shelving provider with the expertise to design and layout the best shelving system for your application. Whether it be medical shelving, corporate office shelving, school shelving, police station shelving, library shelving, law firm shelving or any other environment, Ellis System can help design shelving that saves on space and maximizes your investment. 

Ellis Systems has over 55 years of experience providing customers peace of mind in choosing the right shelving solution to maximize storage space. We’ve narrowed down the many types of shelving options to the six most common types available listed below.

 

6 Common Types of Shelving:

 

1. File Shelving

File shelving is used in place of traditional file cabinets because of their space saving characteristics and low cost. It comes in many varieties including four post, cantilever, bucket style and stackable. Instead of putting files in drawers, they are placed onto shelves which allow more of the vertical space in the room to be utilized for storage. It is not uncommon for this style of shelving to require less than half the floor space of traditional file cabinets because of its better utilization of vertical space. File shelving can be open or configured with locking doors if required. There are different sizes of file shelving to accommodate letter size files, legal size files and even European size files.

 

2. Quik-Lok Shelving

Quik Lok shelving is designed to assemble quickly and affordably.  The design requires no tools, braces or hardware which slashes the time and costs involved in assembly. This type of shelving is a favorite in markets such as healthcare, education, law enforcement, legal, government, food service, industrial and more. Ask about the wide range of standard size options and custom size options available.

3. Archive Box Storage & Shelving 

Once a file becomes inactive it usually ends up in an archive storage box. Archive storage is one of the most common problems in today’s offices. Stacking the boxes on the floor creates a whole host of problems including, crushed boxes, employee injuries from moving the boxes and greater chances for water damage if any flooding occurs. The solution to archive box storage is utilizing archive box shelving. Archive box shelving comes in special sizes designed specifically to accommodate archive box sizes, organize and protect the boxes from being crushed, and utilizing higher vertical space if it’s available. 

 

4. Storage Shelving

Today’s offices have a variety of storage needs ranging from office supplies to promotional items, bulk printed materials, forms, computers parts and a host of other items. Storing these items on proper storage shelving reduces the amount of floor space required and protects them from being damaged or lost. Many offices lose valuable storage space because they fail to recognize that proper storage shelving can fit into closets, under stairs or in small rooms. Proper storage shelving will have shelves which are adjustable and do not use screws or nuts and bolts to hold them together. If security is a requirement, locking doors can be placed on shelving to restrict access to the shelves.

Storage shelving is also utilized in warehousing applications. We also have a complete line of industrial shelving products to meet your needs.

 

5. Wire Shelving

Certain applications in healthcare, retail, food service and IT require the use of wire shelving. Wire shelving minimizes dust, dirt or bacterial accumulation by allowing maximum air flow. Healthcare applications where bacteria can be present, is also another application where wire shelves are an excellent choice. We offer hospital shelving, pharmaceutical shelving, medical office shelving, and many other varieties. 

Wire shelving can also be configured with wheels to turn shelving units into mobile carts for any application.

5. Modular Storage Shelving

One of the most versatile shelving systems where you change the components to match your current storage requirements. The modular storage shelving system allows you to change doors, drawers and even the height, maximizing your storage space. Configure for this year, then re-configure again for next year! The flexible modular storage shelves changes as your business changes allowing you to maximize your investment.

From small shelving applications to large shelving applications and everything in between, we have a large variety of shelving systems to meet all of your storage and space requirements.
