Product Description

The Topnotch 3 Bay – 12 Bodies Non-Standard Mobile Storage Compactor is engineered for maximum storage density in offices, banks, universities, hospitals, PSUs, and government record rooms. With taller 2505 mm cabinets and wider 1180 mm bodies, this model provides 30–40% more capacity compared to standard compactors.

Constructed with 0.8 mm CRCA steel (IS 513 D-Grade, TATA/JSW sourced) and mounted on a 3.15 mm HR steel base frame, the compactor is built for heavy-duty performance. Each cabinet includes 5 adjustable/removable shelves, giving 6 compartments per body. With 12 bodies total, the system delivers 72 compartments, suitable for storing thousands of files, ledgers, or box files in a compact footprint.

The mechanical chain & sprocket drive ensures smooth, effortless movement even under full load. Additional safety is ensured through anti-topple design, anti-skid rails, vibration-free operation, and centralized locking.

Storage Capacity

• Thin Office Files (30–40 mm spine):
  25–32 per shelf × 5 shelves × 12 bodies = 1500–1920 files

• Box Files (75–80 mm spine):
  14–16 per shelf × 5 shelves × 12 bodies = 840–960 box files

• Ledgers & Registers (50–70 mm spine):
  18–20 per shelf × 5 shelves × 12 bodies = 1080–1200 ledgers

Total Load Handling: ~5 tonnes

Comparison Guide: 3 Bay – 12 Cabinet Standard vs. 3 Bay – 12 Cabinet Non-Standard vs. 12 Almirahs

Introduction

Every growing organization — from banks and hospitals to universities and government departments — faces the same challenge: storing thousands of files in a limited floor area while ensuring security, easy access, and durability.

Traditional storage methods like metal almirahs are inefficient:

• They require multiple aisles.

• Security is weak with individual locks.

• Lifespan is limited to 7–10 years.

Modern Mobile Storage Compactors solve these issues. By moving on rails and using a single working aisle, they save 60–70% floor space, provide centralized locking, and last 15–20 years.

In this comparison, we analyze:

• 3 Bay – 12 Cabinets Standard Compactor (2120 × 915 mm)

• 3 Bay – 12 Cabinets Non-Standard Compactor (2505 × 1180 mm)

• 12 Normal Almirahs (~2000 × 900 mm)

---

Dimensions & Design

Takeaway:

• Non-Standard Compactor has taller & wider cabinets → 72 compartments.

• Standard Compactor → 60 compartments.

• Almirahs → Only 48 compartments, least efficient.

---

Storage Capacity

Thin Office Files (30–40 mm spine)

• 3 Bay – 12 Std:
  20–25 × 5 shelves × 12 = 1200–1500 files

• 3 Bay – 12 Non-Std:
  25–32 × 5 shelves × 12 = 1800–2300 files

• 12 Almirahs:
  18–20 × 4 shelves × 12 = 864–960 files

---

Box Files (75–80 mm spine)

• 3 Bay – 12 Std:
  11–13 × 5 shelves × 12 = 660–780 box files

• 3 Bay – 12 Non-Std:
  14–16 × 5 shelves × 12 = 840–960 box files

• 12 Almirahs:
  10–12 × 4 shelves × 12 = 480–576 box files

---

Ledgers & Registers (50–70 mm spine)

• 3 Bay – 12 Std:
  15–18 × 5 shelves × 12 = 900–1080 ledgers

• 3 Bay – 12 Non-Std:
  18–20 × 5 shelves × 12 = 1080–1200 ledgers

• 12 Almirahs:
  12–15 × 4 shelves × 12 = 576–720 ledgers

---

Storage Summary

Takeaway:

• Non-Standard Compactor has 2.5× more storage than almirahs.

• Standard Compactor nearly doubles almirah capacity.

---

Load Handling

• 3 Bay – 12 Std:
  60 shelves × 60–70 Kg = 3.6–4.2 tonnes

• 3 Bay – 12 Non-Std:
  72 shelves × 60–70 Kg = 4.3–5 tonnes

• 12 Almirahs:
  48 shelves × 40–50 Kg = 1.9–2.4 tonnes

Non-Standard = strongest, handling 2× almirahs’ load.

---

Security

• Compactors:

  • Centralized locking system.

  • Safety nobs prevent accidental rolling.

  • Optional individual cabinet locks.

• Almirahs:

  • Separate locks on each almirah.

  • Difficult to manage keys.

  • Weak against tampering.

Compactors = far more secure & professional.

---

Durability & Finish

• Compactors:

  • Heavy-duty CRCA Steel (0.8 mm) + HR Steel base (3.15 mm).

  • Epoxy powder coating (40–70 microns).

  • Rust-proof via 8-tank process.

  • Lifespan: 15–20 years.

• Almirahs:

  • Mild steel (0.6–0.7 mm), painted.

  • More prone to rust/scratches.

  • Lifespan: 7–10 years.

---

Installation & Space Efficiency

• Compactors:

  • Installed on rails.

  • Modular knock-down assembly.

  • Require only one working aisle (750–900 mm).

  • Save 60–70% floor space.

• Almirahs:

  • Need aisle in front of every almirah.

  • Consume 2–3× more space.

---

Cost vs. ROI

• 3 Bay – 12 Std Compactor:
  Moderate price, replaces ~12–14 almirahs, ROI in ~5 years.

• 3 Bay – 12 Non-Std Compactor:
  Slightly higher price, replaces ~16–18 almirahs, ROI in ~4 years.

• 12 Almirahs:
  Low cost, but inefficient — higher space rent, short lifespan, frequent replacement.

---

Applications

• 3 Bay – 12 Std Compactor: Medium offices, banks, hospitals needing 1000–1500 files.

• 3 Bay – 12 Non-Std Compactor: Large organizations with 1800+ files. Best for PSUs, universities, government record rooms.

• 12 Almirahs: Small setups with limited filing.

---

Final Comparison Table

---

• 3 Bay – 12 Non-Standard Compactor → Best option for large organizations needing maximum storage, security, and ROI. Stores 1800–2300 files, replaces ~16 almirahs.

• 3 Bay – 12 Standard Compactor → Balanced choice for medium setups; stores ~1500 files, replaces ~12 almirahs.

• 12 Almirahs → Outdated, low capacity, high space usage, short lifespan.

One 3 Bay – 12 Non-Standard Compactor = 16–18 almirahs, saving 70% space, with a 20-year life.
