What is a high-density filing system and when is it worth considering?

A high-density or compact mobile filing system uses carriages on floor tracks to eliminate fixed aisles — you move a row of shelving units aside to open one access aisle rather than having a permanent aisle between every two rows. This can double or triple the filing capacity in the same floor footprint compared to standard lateral cabinets. High-density systems are worth considering when you have more than 200 lateral file units to accommodate, since the system cost ($15,000–$50,000+) is offset by saving on room square footage.
