X5 Press Release

X5 Space-Saving Steel Storage System Increases Usable Storage Space 40%-70%

November 1, 2004 - For Immediate Release

The new X5 movable shelving system on tracks will soon be helping businesses of all kinds maximize the use of their storage space. The exclusive, patented system is being distributed in the U.S. by OFM Inc of Apex, NC. One look at X5 is enough to understand its impact on how businesses use floor space.

In traditional storage areas, stationary shelving units are placed with aisles between them for access. X5 puts heavy duty shelving on tracks, removing the need for individual aisles and converting that space into usable storage area. One 5-unit system will recover 40% of the floor space; additional units increase that percentage. The more X5 installed, the more space is gained.

Another benefit is the flexibility of the system. No permanent mounting of the tracks is required so X5 remains easy to reposition or expand onto. Individual shelving units can also be used as stationary storage or mounted on casters for true "go anywhere" mobility.

No tools are required to assemble the system. The shelves can be positioned in 1" increments, so individual users can customize X5 to fit their storage needs. Additional shelves can be ordered for high-density storage of smaller items.

The X5 has durable chrome plating over 19 gauge steel posts and a combination of 2, 5, and 7 gauge wire shelves. The wire on the shelves is laid down to run parallel to the depth, not the width — an important quality feature that allows each shelf to hold up to 800 lbs and makes unloading easier. The open design allows sprinkler system penetration and maximizes visibility, ventilation and airflow. Users can load and retrieve from all sides of the unit for efficiency.

There are 4 lengths, 2 depths, and 2 heights for the shelves, so almost everyone can find a place to use X5 to their advantage. The 18" and 24" deep units can be combined on one set of tracks for the most efficient use of the available square footage.

OFM makes ordering X5 easy. OFM will assist authorized dealers in space panning for the end user. Simply supply them with the dimensions and features of the area to be converted.

Accessories include anti-slide side and back plates, rods, and dividers to prevent stored items from shifting; clear plastic shelf inserts to create a solid surface; and label holders.
