How High Density Shelving Can Be Used to Transform Retail Spaces

Using Spacesaver High Density Storage in Creative Ways.

Being short on space can cause a number of issues for many businesses, and this is especially true in retail where square footage costs are at a premium. Making the best use of available space is a top priority for businesses, and storage solutions are needed to find efficient ways to store items like products, tools, parts for manufacturing or even large pieces of art.

By mounting shelves on to rails and carriages that can be opened and compacted as needed, high density mobile storage shelving can seamlessly increase the amount of space available to you or double the amount you can store within the same footprint. Our storage solutions are so flexible they can be applied to a variety of industries, including retail.

Seattle Public Library uses compacting library shelving to create mobile retail kiosks.

Seattle Public Library Compacting Kiosk by Spacesaver

Seattle Public Library teamed up with space saving experts and architects to create a compacting retail kiosk for the library’s atrium. The carriage and rail system allows the shelving to move, making it incredibly easy to open for customers.

Lighting capabilities were made possible by creating recessed outlets in the floor – just plug in and switch on. Closing up shop is not only incredibly easy, but the smooth guidance of the carriages means that the products can remain on the shelves without worry of having them fall over. The shelves come together to create a compact unit, ensuring the security of the products inside while the shop is closed. In end, the library developed the retail space they wanted while retaining the ability to make space as needed for events in the atrium.

Canada Goose uses mobile storage to creatively display their wares and create more storage space.

A lot of details were taken into consideration to create a well branded and unique customer experience for their flagship store in Toronto. Wanting to create a unique, high-end retail experience can be a little tricky when you need to store and display bulky outerwear in 100 different styles, 40 colors and a variety of sizes.

The solution included eight High Density Mobile carriages and three stationary units fitted with custom handles and steel panels. The stationary units also feature display cabinets built at Spacesaver’s headquarters in Wisconsin. The goal was to create a customer experience that would comfortably house the products while ensuring that the high-quality nature of the brand remained in the forefront. These elements came together beautifully to illustrate both efficiency and great branding for Canada Goose.
