Organizations that occupy valuable rooms or areas demand less wasted space for storing frequently-accessed items like medical supplies.
Every moment counts in these environments, so keeping vital supplies neat, tidy, and easy to reach for healthcare workers can deliver a measurable difference for patients.
What is High-Density Storage?
High-density storage is typically a shelving system, cabinets, or mobile shelves that are designed to optimize space. These are built to enable easier, more ergonomic access for the workers that use them daily.
This type of storage is far different from the traditional cabinets or shelves you're accustomed to at home. Items like caster wheels and hinges are heavy-duty elements used to handle heavier loads and frequent use.
The key benefits of high-density shelving systems include reduced worker fatigue, longer operational lifespans, and the ability to fit more supplies into smaller areas. All of this adds up to savings on both labor costs as well as operational costs per square foot.
When your traditional storage solutions are no longer serving your organization's needs, high-density storage can provide a rapid remedy. With Distribution Systems International, you can customize a storage configuration that will perfectly suit your application.
Maximize Your Storage Space: Get Significant Storage Capacity
One of the most significant costs of any company or healthcare facility is the commercial space they occupy. These types of buildings can cost a huge amount of money per square foot—to lease or own. So maximizing how the space is used is critical to the financial health of the organization.
Utilizing high-density mobile storage systems can help you leverage every square foot available to its maximum potential. Storage rooms and spaces in healthcare facilities are usually sprinkled throughout the building and can serve a variety of uses, such as storing large or heavy items, and also a wide range of smaller items in bulk.
Features of Distribution Systems International's High-Density Supply Storage
1. Frame Uprights - Frame uprights are made from tooled aluminum anodized tubing, 1 1/2” x 1 1/2” in diameter, for superior strength yet allowing the frame to be extra light. The aluminum also prevents corrosion, paint flaking, and chipping.
2. Rubber Strips - Frame uprights contain a front-runner strip. This one-piece rubber strip helps prevent denting, chipping, or scraping of misguided carts and products.
3. Front and Back Supported Frame Uprights - Frame uprights have two aluminum front-to-back supports for added stability.
4. Stabilizer - Aluminum stabilizer cross members are made from 18 gauge aluminum to ensure stability and added strength, yet keep the frame very light.
5. Caster - All casters are 3” swivel polyurethane braking double wheels for heavier load capacities.
6. “Snap-in” Rails - Rails can be adjusted every 1” on center (no tools required) allowing baskets to be adjusted in seconds flat. The rails have the unique “snap-in” catch that locks the rail onto the frame.
7. Built-in Stopper -Rails have a “Built-in” stopper to prevent the basket from extending through the rear of the frame.
8.Height - The overall height of the frame is 77 1/4” allowing them to fit through standard US doors.
Where to Utilize High-Density Storage?
Healthcare facilities are filled with places where high-density storage can help improve the efficiency of both space and worker time. Linen closets, storage space for sutures and wound dressing materials, and mobile shelving systems that hold everything to start a surgical procedure—are all examples of places higher-density storage systems can help improve healthcare efficiency.
Rooms that store significant amounts of supplies are another example of ideal places for implementing a high-density storage capacity solution. Unnecessary aisles and fixed aisles can increase the time and difficulty in acquiring crucial supplies for medical procedures.
By enabling mobile shelving or high-density mobile storage systems that pack more into each unit, these rooms can house more items while improving access for workers.

What Does a High-Density Storage System Do?
High-density storage systems can help you get more for your commercial space expenses. Rather than expanding into larger buildings or moving to an entirely new location, you can save precious capital by switching out older, low-capacity storage systems for high-density solutions that drastically reduce storage needs.
Another key function high-density systems serve is improving workflow. Cutting the time required to walk from room to room or floor to floor can save massive sums on labor costs. By leveraging mobile shelving that's designed to fit more supplies on each cart—healthcare facilities can drastically cut the time workers waste walking to get supplies.

How Does a High-Density Storage System Work?
High-density storage systems work by rethinking how space is used. Every square inch of space is utilized to serve the needs of the facility and its workers. Rather than using large, open spaces with little to no division for organizing, high-density solutions provide smarter partitioning of supplies.
These types of high-density mobile shelving systems are also designed to provide more ergonomic access for workers, along with saving critical time by providing clearer indications of where to find key supplies.
DSI offers high-density mobile storage systems that empower healthcare facilities to maximize their spaces. Get more utility out of your valuable space while deploying improved safety features.
A host of optional features such as mechanical assist and aisle entry sensor technology can further enhance the efficiency of healthcare facilities without needing facility expansion.
