Retrofitting Mechanical Mobile Shelving
Convert Mechanical Shelving to Electric

MTM Business Systems upgrades old, failing electric mobile shelving systems with new motors and electric controls to save customers' intial investment in their high density storage solution. MTM Business Systems can also retrofit existing mechanical assist mobile shelving system with electric controls.

System conversion means that the LOGICPlus™ carriage controller system is installed in existing mobile aisle storage system carriages. This allows the existing mobile system to provide the same advanced functionality and reliability offered by brand new mobile systems featuring the LOGICPlus™ controller. Simply put, you can convert your existing mechanical assistance high density mobile filing system to an electric mobile filing system without having to repurchase new shelving* or you can have your existing electric mobile filing system retrofitted with a new motor and electrical system without having to take apart your system.

You don't have to replace your outdated mobile aisle storage system; make it state of the art at a fraction of system replacement cost. Whether the existing mobile aisle system is a mechanical assist drive or an electrical drive, LOGICPlus™ can be installed with no need to remove all stored materials from the carriages. The "Plug and Play" design of LOGICPlus™ dramatically reduces component installation time. In most cases the installation can be accomplished during off hours. Even if usage is 24/7, conversion can be sequenced to minimize disruption of system usage patterns.

The tracks and wheels and carriages of most mobile aisle storage systems don't wear out, they last for years and years. It is the crank mechanisms, safety floors and sweeps, limit switches and other mechanical parts that fail and cause system downtime and repair and maintenance expense. Buying a whole new mobile system just because some of the parts don't work can be a needless expense at a time when expense control is so important. And while the cost of the new system is a large budget item, it is only part of the replacement cost. There is the cost of installing the new system and of course, the cost and inconvenience of removing the existing system and storing the materials during the long installation process.

In most cases, the LOGICPlus™ Conversion Kit approach lets mobile aisle system owners avoid the expense, inconvenience and productivity loss of total system replacement.
