Advantages of Compactus Filing System
Compactus or Mechanical Filing System consist of rolling or mobile cabinets that can slide across a steel
base that has tracks to support the cabinets. To store or access the files you simply move the cabinets apart to
create an aisle.
There are 2 types of compactus units: fixed and free standing. Fixed units are imbedded into the floor, so the floor will need some preparation work. Free standing units stand
directly on the floor. They usually have a steel base with adjustable feet to compensate for uneven floor.
There are 3 main advantages that compactus filing system provides: modular design, space and time savings.
With modular design unites are very adaptable and can be configured to suit individual requirements.
Compact storage means that costly floor space is saved. By using a single access aisle, compactus unit can reduce the floor area
required for storage with conventional filing systems by up to 50%. This allows extra space for additional storage or personnel.
Mechanical filing system promotes the centralisation of office storage, with reductions in file access and retrieval time, plus improved records
management, through better organization.
