Historical archives, libraries and museums preserve documentary collections, book collections and cultural materials that require order, protection and continuous access.
Preservation alone is not enough: it must happen in spaces that are often historic, protected or insufficient for growing collections.
ICAM mobile shelving systems increase preservation capacity by eliminating fixed aisles. They protect historical documents, rare books, photographs and works on paper from critical environmental factors such as humidity, dust and temperature fluctuations that could compromise material integrity over time.
ICAM mobile shelving system for preserving documents, books and archival materials. The shelving units move on floor-mounted rails, opening a single mobile aisle only where needed. The result: up to 90% more archiving capacity within the same floor area, or up to 50% of floor space recovered with the same volume of archived documents.
Explore COMPATTA LightBy eliminating fixed aisles, mobile shelving systems increase archiving capacity by up to 90% within the same floor area, or free up to 50% of floor space with the same volume of documents.
The mobile aisle opens exactly where needed, making access to documents and volumes faster and more systematic. Archivists, librarians, and researchers locate and retrieve materials with less time spent searching.
Historical documents, rare books, photographs and works on paper require stable environmental conditions. Mobile shelving systems help preserve documentary heritage over time, protecting it from physical and environmental factors.
Archives and libraries often operate in historic buildings or spaces with limited square footage. Mobile shelving maximizes available space without structural modifications to existing environments.
The shelving units can be equipped with shelves, accessories and dividers to organise books, binders, hanging folders, maps and archival materials
Integrated safety systems prevent accidental movement of mobile bases during picking, ensuring safe operating conditions for archivists and researchers and protecting materials from accidental physical damage.
