Description

The Topnotch Mobile File Storage System – 3 Bays, 12 Bodies (Non-Standard Size) is a premium, space-efficient storage solution designed for organizations that handle large volumes of physical records, files, ledgers, and box files. Built with 0.8 mm CRCA steel (TATA/JSW make, IS: 513 D Grade) and finished with 40–70 micron epoxy polyester powder coating, this unit delivers long-lasting durability, professional aesthetics, and high-capacity storage in a compact footprint.

Each cabinet (body) measures 2505 mm (H) × 915 mm (W) × 450 mm (D), making it taller than standard compactors (2120 mm height), which translates to increased storage per cabinet. Inside, each body is fitted with 5 adjustable/removable shelves, providing 6 compartments per body.

Configuration – SFF-1 + DFM-1 + SFM-1

• SFF (Single Fixed Frame): 1 fixed/static cabinet, open on one side.

• DFM (Double-Faced Movable Frame): 1 movable unit, open on both sides, equal to 2 cabinets.

• SFM (Single-Faced Movable Frame): 1 movable unit, open on one side, equal to 1 cabinet.

Total = 12 Bodies (Cabinets)

This design allows high-density storage while reducing the need for multiple aisles. A single working aisle (750–900 mm) is enough to access all files.

Storage Capacity

• Thin Office Files (30–40 mm spine):

  • ~20–25 files per shelf

  • ~120–150 files per body

  • System Total (12 Bodies): ~1440–1800 files

• Box Files (75–80 mm spine):

  • ~11–13 files per shelf

  • ~65–78 files per body

  • System Total (12 Bodies): ~780–936 box files

Key Features

• ✅ Space Saving: Saves 60–70% space compared to almirahs.

• ✅ Durable Build: CRCA steel, 8-tank anti-rust treated, powder coated.

• ✅ High Storage Capacity: 12 bodies, 72 compartments.

• ✅ Safety Mechanisms: Anti-topple, anti-skid floor rails, vibration-free.

• ✅ Centralized Locking: Enhanced security for confidential records.

• ✅ Modular Knock-Down Design: Easy to install and expand.

 

 

Comparison: 3 Bay – 12 Bodies Compactor vs. 12 Almirahs

When evaluating storage solutions, many organizations compare traditional almirahs with modern mobile storage compactors. Both serve the purpose of storing files, but their efficiency, space utilization, security, and durability are worlds apart.

Below is a detailed comparison of the Topnotch 3 Bay – 12 Bodies Mobile Compactor (Non-Standard Size, 2505 × 915 × 450 mm) with 12 conventional almirahs.

---

🔹 Storage Capacity

• Compactor (12 Bodies):

  • Each body = 6 compartments

  • Total compartments = 72

  • Thin office files: 1440–1800 files

  • Box files: 780–936 files

• 12 Almirahs:

  • Average 5 compartments per almirah

  • Total compartments = 60

  • Thin office files: 720–960 files

  • Box files: ~500–600

---

🔹 Compartments & Organization

• Compactor: 72 compartments → highly segmented → easy indexing & quick retrieval.

• Almirahs: 60 compartments → limited segmentation → files often stacked/cluttered.

---

🔹 Space Requirement

• Compactor: Requires just one working aisle (750–900 mm) regardless of the number of cabinets.

• Almirahs: Each almirah requires a separate aisle. With 12 almirahs, aisle requirement = 10–12 meters.

---

🔹 Security

• Compactor:

  • Centralized locking system → one key secures the entire unit.

  • Optional individual locks → extra layer of protection.

• Almirahs:

  • Each unit has its own lock.

  • More keys, less secure collectively.

---

🔹 Safety Features

• Compactor: Anti-topple mechanism, anti-skid rails, vibration-free construction.

• Almirahs: No anti-topple or skid features → higher risk of imbalance.

---

🔹 Durability

• Compactor: Built from 0.8 mm CRCA steel (TATA/JSW, IS 513 D Grade), with an 8-tank anti-rust process and 40–70 micron epoxy polyester powder coating. Lifespan = 10–12 years.

• Almirahs: Basic mild steel or CR sheets with simple paint. Lifespan = 4–5 years.

---

🔹 ROI (Return on Investment)

• Compactor:

  • Saves floor space = reduces real estate/rent costs.

  • Longer lifespan = lower replacement cost.

  • Centralized storage = better efficiency.

• Almirahs:

  • Consume more space = higher rent/space cost.

  • Short lifespan = frequent replacements.

  • Poor organization = wasted time & effort.
