Comparison: 4 Bay – 16 Standard Compactor vs. 4 Bay – 16 Non-Standard Compactor vs. 16 Almirahs
Introduction
Storage is one of the biggest operational challenges for organizations like banks, hospitals, PSUs, universities, corporates, and legal firms.
-
Traditional almirahs require multiple aisles, offer low storage, and lack centralized security.
-
Mobile Storage Compactors are the modern solution — saving up to 70% floor space, offering centralized locking, and lasting 15–20 years.
