Product Description

The Topnotch 5 Bay – 20 Bodies Non-Standard Mobile Storage Compactor is the largest capacity model in the non-standard range, designed for organizations with massive filing and record-keeping requirements.

With extra-tall (2505 mm) and wider (1180 mm) cabinets, this compactor delivers 30–40% more storage capacity per cabinet than standard units. The configuration provides 20 cabinets across 5 bays, each with 6 compartments, creating a total of 120 compartments in a single system.

Built with 0.8 mm CRCA steel (IS 513 D-Grade) and mounted on a 3.15 mm HR steel base frame, this unit is engineered for 6.5–7.5 tonnes load handling. The mechanical chain & sprocket drive system, combined with cast iron wheels and anti-friction bearings, ensures smooth, effortless operation even at full load.

Storage Capacity

• Thin Office Files (30–40 mm spine):
  25–32 per shelf × 5 shelves × 20 bodies = 3000–3840 files

• Box Files (75–80 mm spine):
  14–16 per shelf × 5 shelves × 20 bodies = 1400–1600 box files

• Ledgers & Registers (50–70 mm spine):
  18–20 per shelf × 5 shelves × 20 bodies = 1800–2000 ledgers

Total Load Handling: ~7 tonnes safely

Comparison: 5 Bay – 20 Non-Standard Compactor vs. 5 Bay – 20 Standard Compactor vs. 20 Almirahs

Introduction

Storage is the backbone of every organization — whether it’s a bank handling lakhs of loan files, a hospital with years of patient records, or a government department with decades of archives. Choosing the right system is critical.

Traditionally, organizations relied on almirahs. But these consume excessive space, provide low capacity, and lack centralized security. Today, Mobile Storage Compactors are the modern answer — saving up to 70% floor space, doubling storage, and improving security.

Here we compare three popular choices:

• 5 Bay – 20 Standard Compactor (2120 × 915 mm cabinets)

• 5 Bay – 20 Non-Standard Compactor (2505 × 1180 mm cabinets)

• 20 Conventional Almirahs (~2000 × 900 mm each)

---

Dimensions & Design

Key Observation:

• Non-Standard = largest storage (120 compartments).

• Standard = 100 compartments.

• Almirahs = only 80 compartments.

---

Storage Capacity

Thin Office Files (30–40 mm spine)

• 5 Bay – 20 Std: 2000–2500 files

• 5 Bay – 20 Non-Std: 3000–3840 files

• 20 Almirahs: 1440–1600 files

Box Files (75–80 mm spine)

• 5 Bay – 20 Std: 1100–1300 box files

• 5 Bay – 20 Non-Std: 1400–1600 box files

• 20 Almirahs: 800–900 box files

Ledgers & Registers (50–70 mm spine)

• 5 Bay – 20 Std: 1500–1800 ledgers

• 5 Bay – 20 Non-Std: 1800–2000 ledgers

• 20 Almirahs: 960–1100 ledgers

Summary:

• Non-Standard stores 2.5× more than almirahs.

• Standard stores 1.7× more than almirahs.

---

Load Capacity

Non-Standard compactors safely hold double the load of almirahs.

---

Security

• Compactors (Std & Non-Std):

  • Centralized lock secures all cabinets.

  • Optional individual cabinet locks.

  • Anti-topple & anti-skid rails prevent accidents.

• Almirahs:

  • Each requires a separate lock.

  • Multiple keys = harder management.

  • Easier to break into.

Winner = Compactors (better central security).

---

Durability & Finish

• Compactors:

  • 0.8 mm CRCA Steel (TATA/JSW).

  • Powder coating (40–70 microns) with 8-tank anti-rust process.

  • Lifespan: 15–20 years.

• Almirahs:

  • Mild steel (0.6–0.7 mm).

  • Painted surface, rust-prone.

  • Lifespan: 7–10 years.

Winner = Compactors (double the life of almirahs).

---

Installation & Floor Space Efficiency

• Compactors:

  • Installed on rails, requiring only one working aisle (750–900 mm).

  • Save 60–70% space.

• Almirahs:

  • Each requires separate aisle space.

  • Occupy 2–3× more floor area.

Winner = Compactors (major real estate savings).

---

Cost vs. ROI

• 5 Bay – 20 Standard Compactor:

  • Replaces ~20–22 almirahs.

  • ROI within ~5 years.

• 5 Bay – 20 Non-Standard Compactor:

  • Replaces ~25–28 almirahs.

  • ROI within ~4 years.

• 20 Almirahs:

  • Lowest upfront cost.

  • Poor ROI → shorter life + higher space cost.

Winner = Non-Standard Compactor (fastest ROI).

---

Applications

• Standard Compactor (5 Bay – 20):
  Suitable for medium to large organizations (banks, universities, corporate offices) handling 2000–2500 files.

• Non-Standard Compactor (5 Bay – 20):
  Ideal for large institutions, PSUs, government departments, hospitals managing 3000+ files.

• Almirahs (20 units):
  Best only for small offices with limited storage needs.

Comparison Table

---

• 5 Bay – 20 Non-Standard Compactor → Best for large-scale storage (banks, hospitals, PSUs). Stores 3000+ files, saves 70% space, replaces ~28 almirahs, and delivers ROI in ~4 years.

• 5 Bay – 20 Standard Compactor → Strong mid-tier choice. Stores ~2000–2500 files, replaces ~20 almirahs, ROI in ~5 years.

• 20 Almirahs → Outdated option. Stores fewer files, consumes more space, short lifespan, poor ROI.

If storage demand is high and growing, the 5 Bay – 20 Non-Standard Mobile Storage Compactor is the most efficient and cost-effective solution.
