Mobile Racking and Shelving in Abu Dhabi and Across the UAE
Compact storage on moving bases that removes unused aisles and saves floor space
MOBILE RACKING AND SHELVING
Mobile racking: more storage from the same room
Mobile racking and shelving is mounted on wheeled bases that run along rails in the floor. Instead of keeping a permanent aisle between every row, the units move together and open an aisle only where you need access.
Arabian Rack designs, supplies and installs mobile racking and shelving in Abu Dhabi and across the UAE for archives, spare parts stores, document rooms and warehouses where floor space is expensive. We plan the layout, rails and loads around your room and your stock.
For fixed storage options, see our industrial shelving page.

THINGS TO KNOW
Is mobile racking right for you?
Mobile storage is a good fit for some rooms and stock types, and less suitable for others.
Floor and room requirements
Mobile units run on rails and carry heavy loads, so the floor must be level and strong enough. We check this on site before recommending a layout.
Access and operation
Only one aisle is open at a time, so mobile storage suits items that are not needed by many people at once. Units can be operated by hand or by powered drive, depending on the load and size.
Safety
Moving units need safety devices and clear operating rules so no one is in an aisle when it closes. We will discuss this with you at design stage; the HSE publishes general guidance on workplace transport safety.
PLANNING MOBILE STORAGE
Planning mobile racking and shelving
Mobile storage saves space, but it needs more planning than fixed shelving. These are the main points we cover.
Load and rail design
The weight of your stock decides the base, rail and shelf design. We check what you plan to store and size the system so the units move smoothly under load.
Manual or powered operation
Smaller units can be moved by hand, while larger or heavier runs may suit a powered drive. We explain the options so you can choose what fits your budget and use.
Where it works best
Mobile racking suits archives, document rooms, spare parts stores and tool rooms. For storage that many people need at once, fixed industrial shelving may suit better.
