PROBLEM
The York County Archives (YCA), in York, Pennsylvania are responsible
for the storage of many types of media. The YCA was looking to update
their stationary filing system when moving from the County Courthouse to
a remodeled storage building. They turned to Datum Filing Systems to
make the best use of their available space, while still allowing them
the ability to store the various types of media they require.
SOLUTION
The YCA chose a mechanical assist MobileTrak5® System equipped with
4Post™ Shelving. Datum’s versatile 4Post™ shelving provided the archives
with the flexibility to store different types of media. The system
utilizes more than sixty carriages to store end tab file folders and
archive storage boxes. Even though some of the carriages measure more
than thirty feet long, they can still be moved with a simple turn of the
handle, thanks to MobileTrak5®’s optional mechanical assist. The YCA
also allocated additional carriages for future expansion of filed
materials.
