Office Storage Solutions (OSS) recently completed a large mobile shelving project for one of the world’s largest corporations, at their new, purpose-built offices in Kuwait. It involved installing three Mobile Storage systems, which together provide more than 1,200 linear metres of state-of-the-art mobile storage.

OSS Director Phil Jarvis commented: “We’re extremely proud to have won the contract against strong competition from local and other overseas suppliers. Competitive-pricing and our ability to provide a turnkey solution were paramount.”
“However, I believe that our proven track record of success for corporates here in the UK and in other EC countries was the deciding factor. When a client does business with OSS, they can be certain that their installation will be completed in an ultra-professional manner, on time and to the agreed budget.”
Delivering the goods
The components for the Kuwait installation were packed into containers in the UK and sent to Kuwait City by sea. OSS managed the shipment from start to finish, including the complex documentation and import declarations on arrival at the port.
Installing the solution
A team of experienced OSS fitters was flown out to install the systems. They completed the task within the agreed two-week window, which was quite an achievement when you consider the installation provides over 1,200 linear metres of storage.

Comprehensive after sales support
Unlike many of their competitors in this niche yet extremely competitive office storage market sector, OSS can provide a total solution. “Even though our high quality systems don’t require much in the way of maintenance, wear and tear is an inescapable fact of life,” continues Phil.
“In the UK and throughout the rest of Europe, our own service teams maintain client systems. In Kuwait, that was impractical. So we trained the client’s on-site team and saw to it that they had all the spares they would need for the foreseeable future.”

If you have a storage project anywhere in the world, don’t hesitate to contact OSS. You can rest assured that you’ll get a keen quotation and that the end result will exceed your expectations.

At Office Storage Solutions (OSS), we appreciate that every office environment is different and that companies and organisations have their own preferred way of doing things. That’s why when we design mobile shelving and mobile storage systems we ‘start from scratch’ each time a new enquiry for a mobile storage solution comes in. It’s the best way. It means that every new mobile storage system design and install is unique. After all, people as individuals are unique and have their own way of working, so shouldn’t their favoured storage design reflect that?

What kind of mobile storage solution would best suit you?
By listening to you and your team (the people who will actually be using the system!), and understanding what’s easiest and best for you, we can gain a clear understanding of your exact storage requirements, before we move on to the design stage.
We find this is an approach that pays dividends, every time. So many other office storage companies design, produce and install mobile storage systems they want their clients to have, rather than creating the exact mobile storage solution their client desires. As a result, the storage ‘solution’ proves to be anything but. After installation, users begin to notice problems with their system, and how they often have to compromise on the way they want to store, file and retrieve documents, boxes, disks and other media.
At OSS, clients having to compromise in some way when using one of our systems at their business premises means we have failed. (And we haven’t failed yet!)

Do you need mobile shelving and/or mobile storage at your current premises? Or maybe a bespoke system to be in keeping with an office suite you are soon relocating to is what you are looking for?
Tell us what you don’t like about your current mobile shelving or mobile storage system, and what design features would make your life at work so much easier (and, in fact, more enjoyable) each time you go to retrieve or return a file, and we’ll put ourselves in your shoes as we set about ‘making your mobile shelving and/or mobile storage solution happen’.
After all, it’s your mobile storage system we’ll be designing and installing, not ours!

Mobile Shelving and Roller Racking from Office Storage Solutions is a smart investment. What’s more, once your mobile shelving system is in place, you can also leave the complete transference of files part to us.
OK. After years of patiently grafting away in your old office, finally the time has come: your company is moving on, into a modern, open-plan office suite elsewhere. You can’t wait. What’s more, you’ve invested in mobile shelving from Office Storage Solutions’ popular mobile shelving and mobile storage systems range; shelving that will make your new working environment look and feel even better, brighter, state-of-the-art…

Is your new system a roller racking mobile storage system? Good choice. At the moment, when it comes to mobile shelving and mobile storage systems, roller racking is definitely all the rage. The fact that roller racking is an ideal solution for businesses and organisations that seek space-saving, cost-effective mobile storage (that really does ensure the best use of valuable floor space in an office or other type of workplace) might have something to do with it.

But wait! Investing in an affordable mobile storage system such as roller racking (or another type of mobile shelving and mobile storage system from Office Storage Solutions – OSS -) is something you’ll never regret, but… “Doesn’t that mean my staff and I will then have to cope with the potentially mammoth (and time-consuming) task of relocating all our files, boxes, disks and other media?”
Not at all. You can relax; our file transfer and filing consultancy service will take care of all of that. No problem.

After we’ve relocated your files and other media for you (taking complete responsibility for packing, transporting and unpacking your files and other items at your new offices); one of our dedicated filing consultants can be there to help sort the lot out, quickly and efficiently.
The OSS filing consultant will be able to advise on aspects such as: alternative ways of filing and classifying documents and media, and the creation of super user-friendly retrieve-and-return and archival storage, etc. so that you and your team can easily find and retrieve items (from a newly installed mobile storage system that’s as great to use as it’s great on the eye!).

Following on from the successful installation of the mobile storage system at the new Sony Television facility in Turkmenistan, OSS were again contracted in to design, build, and oversee the installation of an even bigger roller rack storage system at the newly built and very impressive TV tower in Ashgabat.
The mobile storage system, which was built by OSS in the UK before being transported to site for assembly and installation, was specifically designed for the housing of tapes and discs used at the television centre. The system provides for an impressive 7,500 metres of storage space in over 1,100 storage bays, providing the staff with a space-saving yet easily accessible system to manage their media.

The new TV tower under construction in Ashgabat, Turkmenistan,
the mobile storage system was installed on the 3rd floor.
The entire project took just 5 weeks to complete, during which time OSS flew engineers to the site to work with local engineers to carry out the successful installation on time and on budget.
For more info on this project see our Case Study – Ashgabat Television Tower Mobile Storage Solution for Tapes & Discs

Mobile Shelving and Roller Racking from Office Storage Solutions
Releasing floor space in your office could facilitate company growth. The extra room could be utilised by installing more desks or workstations, allowing for expansion of your team. This can only result in one thing: increased production (boosted profits!). Mobile shelving and mobile storage systems that are designed, produced and installed by Office Storage Solutions (OSS) every week are allowing companies UK-wide (and overseas) to do just that.

With mobile shelving and mobile storage systems, a working environment can look and feel brighter, more modern, more NOW – the kind of place staff look forward to coming to each day and will enjoy working in (and with mobile shelving from OSS, you can choose from a range of appealing colours). Also:
– Employees can work faster – thanks to quicker access to required items (files, boxes, disks and other media that can all be found and retrieved with ease)
– You can enjoy improved security – all stored items can be 100 per cent protected from both damage and theft
Whatever you wish to store, OSS can design and install the perfect roller racking mobile storage system for your business.
Roller racking is the ideal choice for companies that simply cannot accommodate a standard ‘fixed position’ shelving system. Roller racking is the perfect cost-effective, space saving solution, in fact, to ensure the best use of valuable floor space in an office or other type of workplace.
Our full bespoke roller racking design service includes:
1. Site surveys
2. CAD layouts
3. Detailed floor loading
4. Technical data
And more…

At OSS, we also repair and maintain mobile shelving and mobile storage systems. Maintenance checks and complete repairs are always carried out by experienced engineers. The work is performed quickly, to minimise interruption to normal working practices. And if your current shelving is simply on its last legs, we’ll supply and install a replacement quickly, affordably and without fuss (why not opt for a fantastic bespoke design?!). What’s more, once the job is done, we’ll also provide you with a written report, for your records.

Chay continues: “Everyone comments on the genius of the idea and how beautifully it runs across the tracks. It was great working with OSS, who I found to be extremely professional.”
