Description
The Topnotch 4 Bay – 40 Bodies Mechanical Mobile Storage Compactor is one of the largest capacity file and archive storage systems in the market, designed for organizations with extensive storage demands such as government archives, corporate record rooms, banks, hospitals, and institutional libraries.
This configuration — SFF-1 + DFM-4 + SFM-1 — consists of 40 individual cabinets (bodies) arranged across 4 bays. Each body measures 2120 mm (H) × 915 mm (W) × 450 mm (D) and is fitted with 4 adjustable/removable shelves, creating 5 compartments per body. Together, the system provides a massive 200 compartments, capable of holding 20,000–24,000 files depending on file thickness.
By requiring only one operating aisle (750–900 mm), this compactor saves up to 65% floor space compared to conventional racks or almirahs. For organizations struggling with limited real estate, the 4 Bay – 40 Bodies system is a cost-effective solution that balances capacity, security, and efficiency.
The structure is manufactured from 0.8 mm CRCA steel (IS: 513 D-grade, sourced from TATA/JSW Steel) and mounted on a 3.15 mm HR base frame. The mechanical chain & sprocket drive system, powered by anti-friction bearings and CI wheels, ensures effortless mobility even under full load.
Safety and usability are prioritized with anti-topple design, anti-skid rails, vibration-free operation, and shelf indexing/locking systems. Dual locking mechanisms (centralized + individual locks) add a layer of file security, particularly for sensitive archives.
For durability, the system undergoes an 8-tank anti-rust process and is coated with 40–70 microns epoxy polyester powder finish, offering resistance against rust, scratches, and wear. The knock-down modular design with weldless clinch joints ensures easy assembly, relocation, and scalability.
With PAN India delivery, GEM portal procurement, AMC services, and corporate discounts, Topnotch offers not just a product, but a comprehensive storage solution tailored to professional environments.
If you’re looking to maximize storage density, secure archives, and save valuable space, the Topnotch 4 Bay – 40 Bodies Compactor is the ultimate solution for large-scale file storage.

Bay & Row Explanation
One of the most common buyer doubts is “What does Bay mean? What is a Body? How do 40 Cabinets fit into 4 Bays?”
-
Bay = A Row of Cabinets (Bodies).
Each bay contains a certain number of bodies (cabinets) lined up. -
Body = An Individual Cabinet.
Each body has 4 adjustable shelves = 5 compartments. -
Configuration in This Model:
-
SFF (Single Fixed Frame): 1 static row, open on one side.
-
DFM (Double Faced Movable): 4 movable rows, open on both sides (8 cabinets per bay).
-
SFM (Single Faced Movable): 1 movable row, open on one side.
-
👉 Formula:
SFF-1 + (DFM × 4) + SFM-1 = (1 + 8 + 1) rows per bay = 10 rows total × 4 bays = 40 Bodies.
✅ Hence, this system is called 4 Bay – 40 Bodies Mobile Storage Compactor.
This explanation ensures buyers understand exactly how the system is designed, how bodies are counted, and why the layout saves maximum space.
