Fixed shelving remains a strong and sensible solution for many applications. Often it is used in conjunction with mobile carriages in order to maximize available space in a given area.

Fixed shelving is available in a variety of standard widths and heights, and can be customized to suit a user's storage needs. In addition to open-shelf filing, fixed shelving has been used to store a wide range of products, including athletic equipment, industrial goods, books, file boxes, and electronic components. Additionally, specialty shelving is available for storing data cartridges, CD-ROMs, x-ray and film reels, videotape etc.
