Sleeve systems
Sleeve systems for storage, movement, and safer handling.
Keep sleeves organized, upright, and ready to move so mounted jobs reach the press without the daily search.

What a Podz unit means
Put twice as many sleeves in the same footprint.
SleevePodz are 2-level shelving units. They hold twice as many sleeves as the other guys and can be bolted to the floor or put on mechanical-assist mobile carriages that glide effortlessly. This is a completely modular system that can be arranged and rearranged with freedom.
SleevePodz
Mobile SleevePodz move on floor tracks.
Mobile SleevePodz keep sleeves vertical, organized, and ready to move on mechanical-assist floor tracks. The system opens a compact aisle only where the mounter needs access, so retrieval takes less walking and less searching.
3 ft x 4 ft or 3 ft x 8 ft footprint
Static SleevePodz
Static SleevePodz stay fixed in place.
Static SleevePodz use fixed shelving instead of mobile carriages. They are the economic option when floorspace is not the issue, and they can be bolted to the floor while keeping sleeves vertical and organized.
Economic fixed shelving, organized around the same Podz logic
ADA-Compliant Floor Tracks
Mobile SleevePodz ride on floor tracks built for daily access.
Floor tracks let dense sleeve storage move smoothly while keeping the working aisle accessible for people, carts, and the rest of the mounting-room flow.
ADA-compliant
Low-profile tracks keep the aisle accessible.
Surface-mounted floor tracks use a low, beveled profile designed for ADA-compliant passage, so people and carts can move through the room without a trip hazard. The same track approach is used in safety-sensitive spaces like libraries and museums.
Controlled movement
The load stays stable on the floor.
Precision rails guide each carriage, while anti-drift and anti-sway features help the system open smoothly and stay where it belongs.
Expandable layout
Add capacity without starting over.
Floor-track systems can grow with the room, giving the plant a modular path before committing to a larger building or disruptive construction.
Modular SleevePodz
Modular SleevePodz fit almost any floorspace situation.
The same 12 standard SleevePodz can be arranged as a compact block, balanced footprint, narrower run, or long-wall layout.
