Mobile Shelving Repair, Maintenance
and Servicing.

Storwell Systems repair, maintain and service established manufacturer’s mobile shelving systems  including, Moduflex, Rackline, Link 51, Dexion, Brunzeel, Nord-plan, Probe etc through our UK wide service network.

Mobile shelving maintenance and mobile shelving servicing is available as an bi-annual or annual service contract dependent upon the number of mobile shelving systems you have.

We recommend that all mobile shelving systems are inspected annually to ensure that you are complying with PUWER regulations.

We can also manufacture most obsolete parts to enable us to prolong the life of your mobile shelving systems improving your return on investment.

All work is carried out by our trained engineers and upon completion they will issue a full report and PUWER certificate to ensure your mobile shelving meets compliance.

“What should you do if your Mobile Shelving System will not move or is difficult to operate?”

STOP and INVESTIGATE
(remember, bases could simply be in the locked position).

Check that the aisle is clear of persons or equipment, steps etc.
Disengage the lock on the mobile bay required to be moved by pulling out the plastic insert in the centre of the hand-wheel.
Move gently only one Mobile bay at a time by turning the hand-wheel.
When in the required position, re-engage the lock by pushing the plastic insert whilst revolving the hand-wheel until the pins locate. Locks must only be engaged when the base is stationary.
Every base that is not in operation should be in the locked position.
Avoid using paperclips – these can cause mobiles to stop or make it difficult to operate when accidentally dropped between tracks.
Avoid using file markers that are brittle and have a tendency to shed debris onto tracks and guide tracks.
Always pick up any file or part file that has fallen onto the floor as they can get damaged if the system is closed.
Vacuum out tracks weekly, and remove any lodged materials.
Do not clean tracks with oil base material.
Do not force, slam any unit into another
Do not climb onto or up the shelving

Maintenance Tips…

As with any shelving system, used correctly mobile shelving systems will give you many years of trouble free service.

However, to ensure a long and trouble free life we recommend that the following should be carried out at regular intervals:

Check wheels and tracks for signs of wear or damage
Check chains within the system for tension and wear
Check that wheels are running squarely to the tracks
Check drive handles for tightness and integrity of locks and hand drive wheels
Check drive shaft integrity
Check guide systems and replace where necessary

“Check all shelving systems for signs of damage, overloading or loose or missing components such as shelf clips or bolts”

Please note:

Do not overload shelving or mobile bases, shelf loading should not exceed 80 Kg per shelf. If excessive deflection of a shelf is detected or you have difficulty in moving your mobile shelving system, remove the load from the shelves and call Storwell Systems.

“Remember, report any malfunction immediately it becomes apparent.”

Inspection and Servicing of Mobile Shelving Systems.

PUWER regulations (1998) state that any equipment provided for use at work is:

and in some circumstances, inspected to ensure this remains the case
