Description
The Topnotch 5 Bay – 60 Bodies Mechanical Mobile Storage Compactor represents the next level in high-density document and record storage systems. With its SFF-1 + DFM-5 + SFM-1 configuration, this unit accommodates 60 cabinets (bodies) in a compact, efficient design, replacing up to 60 almirahs while consuming 65–70% less space.
Each cabinet measures 2120 mm (H) × 915 mm (W) × 450 mm (D), with 4 adjustable shelves, creating 5 compartments per cabinet. Across 60 bodies, that’s a massive 300 compartments, capable of storing 30,000–36,000 files depending on file thickness.
The system is mounted on rails and moves via a mechanical chain & sprocket drive, supported by anti-friction bearings and cast iron wheels, ensuring smooth, effortless movement. Even when loaded with more than 20 tons of documents, the compactor glides silently, requiring minimal effort to operate.
Constructed with 0.8 mm CRCA steel (IS: 513 D-Grade, sourced from TATA/JSW) and a 3.15 mm HR steel base frame, it offers superior strength, longevity, and durability. Each shelf supports 60–70 Kg UDL, making it suitable for files, ledgers, journals, and lightweight inventory.
The surface undergoes an 8-tank anti-rust treatment and is finished with a 40–70 micron epoxy polyester powder coating, which resists rust, scratches, and general wear. The dual-tone finish enhances not just durability but also aesthetics, giving a professional look to offices, archives, or libraries.
Topnotch also ensures maximum safety and security. Features include centralized locking, individual locks, anti-topple mechanisms, anti-skid rails, and indexing plates for organized access.
With PAN India delivery, GEM portal listing, CAD layout planning, on-site professional installation, and AMC support, this model is a complete storage infrastructure upgrade.

5 Bay – 60 Bodies Mobile Storage Compactor vs. 60 Almirahs
When choosing the right storage solution for your office, archive, or warehouse, one of the most common choices is between traditional almirahs (file cabinets) and modern mobile storage compactors. Let’s compare the Topnotch 5 Bay – 60 Bodies Mobile Storage Compactor (SFF-1 + DFM-5 + SFM-1) with 60 traditional almirahs to highlight the key advantages of the compactor.
This comparison will help you understand the storage capacity, space efficiency, security, cost-effectiveness, and overall efficiency of each solution.
1. Storage Capacity
| Feature | 5 Bay – 60 Bodies Mobile Storage Compactor | 60 Almirahs |
|---|---|---|
| Total Storage | 30,000+ files (25,000–30,000 files depending on file thickness) | 18,000–20,000 files (standard files, not box files) |
| Compartments | 300 compartments (5 compartments per cabinet) | 300 compartments (5 compartments per almirah) |
Both options offer the same total number of compartments, but the mobile compactor can store more files in the same space, thanks to its space-saving design and adjustable shelves.
2. Space Efficiency
| Feature | 5 Bay – 60 Bodies Mobile Storage Compactor | 60 Almirahs |
|---|---|---|
| Floor Space | Saves 65–70% of floor space (one aisle only) | Consumes 2–3x more space (requires individual aisles) |
| Required Aisle | One aisle (750–900 mm) | 50–60 aisles (minimum 750 mm each) |
| System Length | 4575 mm per row of 5 bodies | Large footprint with separate aisles for each almirah |
The 5 Bay – 60 Bodies Mobile Storage Compactor saves up to 70% of floor space compared to traditional 60 almirahs. It requires one aisle only to access all files, whereas almirahs demand multiple aisles, significantly wasting valuable office space.
3. Security
| Feature | 5 Bay – 60 Bodies Mobile Storage Compactor | 60 Almirahs |
|---|---|---|
| Locking System | Centralized + Individual Locks for each cabinet | Individual locks per almirah |
| Safety Features | Anti-topple, Anti-skid, Vibration-free movement | No anti-topple, less stable |
| File Protection | Files remain secure, organized, and protected | Files can be harder to organize and secure |
The mobile storage compactor offers superior security features with both centralized and individual locks, plus an anti-topple mechanism, ensuring files are not only secure but also stable during operation. Almirahs, on the other hand, only provide individual locks, and there’s no protection against tipping or misalignment.
4. Durability
| Feature | 5 Bay – 60 Bodies Mobile Storage Compactor | 60 Almirahs |
|---|---|---|
| Material | Premium 0.8 mm CRCA steel (TATA/JSW), 3.15 mm HR steel base frame | Typically steel or mild steel, often thinner material |
| Surface Finish | Epoxy polyester powder coating (40–70 microns) for scratch and corrosion resistance | Standard paint or powder coat, prone to chipping |
| Expected Lifespan | 10–15 years, with proper care | 5–7 years |
The Topnotch Mobile Storage Compactor is made of superior quality steel and features an advanced anti-rust coating. Its expected lifespan of 10–15 years is significantly longer than traditional almirahs, which typically last 5–7 years due to thinner materials and basic finishes.
5. Cost Efficiency
| Feature | 5 Bay – 60 Bodies Mobile Storage Compactor | 60 Almirahs |
|---|---|---|
| Space Saving | Saves 65–70% on real estate costs | Requires more space (high real estate cost) |
| Installation | Modular knock-down design, easy assembly | Simple placement but more complex for larger systems |
| Maintenance | Low long-term maintenance costs, AMC available | Higher long-term costs (more units to maintain) |
The mobile storage compactor saves money in the long run by reducing real estate costs (since it takes up less space) and lower maintenance costs (fewer units to manage). In comparison, 60 almirahs require a lot more space and individual maintenance for each unit, leading to higher costs over time.
6. Professional Look & Aesthetic Appeal
| Feature | 5 Bay – 60 Bodies Mobile Storage Compactor | 60 Almirahs |
|---|---|---|
| Design | Sleek, modern design with dual-tone epoxy powder coating | Basic, utilitarian design |
| Finish | Premium, professional appearance | Often looks bulky or outdated |
| Customization | Customizable color options available | Limited design options |
The mobile storage compactor offers a professional, sleek finish, with customizable colors to match office aesthetics. Almirahs tend to look bulky and utilitarian, with fewer customization options.
7. Ease of Access
| Feature | 5 Bay – 60 Bodies Mobile Storage Compactor | 60 Almirahs |
|---|---|---|
| Ease of Retrieval | Quick, organized access with indexed shelves | Files may be disorganized, harder to retrieve |
| Movement | Smooth, easy movement with chain & sprocket system | Requires manual effort to open each almirah |
| Space Utilization | Compact, efficient system with organized compartments | Disorganized storage, limited shelving flexibility |
The mobile storage compactor provides quick access to files, as each row can be moved aside to create an aisle. Almirahs, by contrast, require manual opening, leading to inefficiencies in space utilization and file retrieval.
8. Maintenance & Support
| Feature | 5 Bay – 60 Bodies Mobile Storage Compactor | 60 Almirahs |
|---|---|---|
| Maintenance | Low-cost, AMC available | High-cost maintenance |
| Support | PAN India delivery + installation + support | Vendor-dependent maintenance |
| Durability | 10–15 years with proper care | 5–7 years |
The compactor is low-maintenance, with the option of AMC and nationwide support, ensuring that the system continues to function optimally. Almirahs, while simpler, may require more frequent maintenance and lack the long-term support offered by Topnotch.
9. Floor Space Requirement
| Feature | 5 Bay – 60 Bodies Mobile Storage Compactor | 60 Almirahs |
|---|---|---|
| Floor Area | 65–70% space-saving (one aisle) | Consumes 2–3 times more space (requires individual aisles for each almirah) |
The mobile storage compactor is far more space-efficient, as it consolidates storage into one compact system, with only one aisle required. Almirahs, on the other hand, consume more floor space due to the need for aisles between each cabinet.
