Reorganise Your Workspace with Archive Shelving
Organise your document storage with archive shelving systems designed and installed by Prodek.
Archive shelving is a lightweight, multi-level racking system to store important records, documents, and goods safely and securely. Installing archive shelving maximises available storage space and goes a long way to make efficient use of every square meter in your business premises.
Prodek archive shelving is designed to fit your available space, making sure every inch delivers maximum storage capacity. Our engineers can maximise any space, from small scale document storage to large storage installations, and everything in between. For quick and simple installation, Prodek provide robust clip together archive shelving, available in various sizes, to give optimum flexibility.
Any vertical space can be fully maximised by safely extending storage bays upwards. Where height is available for the installation, multi-tiered shelving systems with walkways are a popular solution for large-scale document storage.
For office environments where space is at a premium, a mobile shelving system is an ideal solution. Mobile shelves also offer additional security by locking aisles to control access to documents.
Accessible Document Archive Storage
If your documents are audited on a regular basis, archive shelving units provide highly organised and easily accessible record storage, ready for inspection.
Archive shelves are ideal for document access by multiple individuals at any one time, improving the efficiency of an auditing procedure.
For sectors required to maintain file archives, such as legal or healthcare, archive shelving speeds up file retrieval. Organised file storage systems are vital to maintaining secure and accurate records. Especially suited to storing employee, student, client or patient records, archive shelving units segregate documents into a defined filing and retrieval system.
Most businesses are legally required to archive trading documents for four years, in line with HMRC guidelines, for duty and tax purposes. This process generates a quantity of paperwork which requires secure storage and be easily accessible for inspection purposes. Prodek record archive shelving will provide a secure storage system to ensure tax records are secure and accessible for staff to maintain and retrieve for inspection.
