Mobile Shelving Installation Beneath a Staircase in Gloucestershire — Install-Only Case Study

• Location: Gloucestershire, UK
• Client: Berkshire-based mobile storage solutions company (subcontract)
• Completed by: Rackstor UK Ltd

Overview

Rackstor UK Ltd was appointed on an install-only subcontract basis by a leading mobile storage solutions company based in Berkshire to complete the installation of a bespoke mobile shelving system beneath an existing staircase at commercial premises in Gloucestershire. The objective was to transform an otherwise underutilised area into a highly efficient storage solution, maximising every available square metre while maintaining full accessibility and a professional finish.

The Challenge

Areas beneath staircases are frequently overlooked as usable storage space due to restricted headroom, varying ceiling heights and difficult access. This project required careful planning and precise installation to ensure the mobile shelving system operated perfectly within the available footprint. Working within confined dimensions demanded meticulous setting out, accurate levelling and close attention to detail throughout.

Our Installation

Operating as the specialist installation contractor, the team completed the installation to the manufacturer's specification, ensuring:

• Accurate installation of the mobile carriage rail system
• Precision levelling for smooth operation
• Professional assembly of the mobile shelving units
• Full operational testing and adjustment
• Clean, tidy and safe working practices throughout
• Completion within the agreed programme

Despite the restricted working environment beneath the staircase, the experienced installation team delivered a high-quality installation that made full use of the previously unused space.

The Result

The finished installation created a practical, space-efficient storage solution without impacting the surrounding working environment, significantly increasing storage capacity while keeping access simple and organised. This demonstrates how intelligent storage solutions can unlock valuable space within existing buildings without costly extensions or alterations.
