MobileTrak5 maximizes floor space utilization and reduces construction costs

Along with upgrading to a new building, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) decided to also upgrade their storage system. The new PennDOT Materials Testing Facility incorporated various Datum products into their media storage, including the 4Post™, Stak-N-Lok™, MobileTrak5® and Mail Master™.

Datum combined a variety of storage solutions to create a customized answer to PennDOT’s media storage problems. The previous system consisting of lateral and vertical files, bulk shelving, and archival boxes stored in various places was preventing efficiency and any sense of organization. PennDOT now has the versatility to store items from various departments in centralized areas, eliminating retrieval time and keeping materials orderly. The agency also received a Mail Master™ mail sorting system to help organize the public mail area.

The 4Post™ and Stak-N-Lok™ shelving provides storage for various items including books, letter and legal files, archival boxes, rolled files and CDs. And by installing the MobileTrak5® system, PennDOT minimized construction costs by consolidating storage areas and saving floor space.

Overall, the system is designed to anticipate the needs of future growth and expansion, allowing the agency years of use without having to spend additional money on updates or add-ons. Here at Datum, we’re both excited and proud to supply a Pennsylvania State Agency with the tools it needs to better serve the state!
