Unlock 50% More Warehouse Space with Montel’s RACK&ROLL™ Mobile Racking
Insights on storage - September 15th 2026
Key Takeaways
- Double Density, Zero Expansion: RACK&ROLL™ mounts industrial racking onto heavy-duty mobile carriages, recovering up to 50% of floor space or doubling capacity within your existing shell.
- Heavy-Duty Industrial Capacity: Engineered for demanding industrial environments, supporting up to 8,000 lbs (3,629 kg) per double-deep section with carriage lengths up to 45 feet (13.7 m).
- Ergonomic SafeCrank® Operation: The 3-spoke SafeCrank® handle with integrated aisle safety push-button supports smooth, controlled movement and safer operation.
The RACK&ROLL™ 8MA Medium-Duty Mechanical-Assist Mobile Racking System delivers high-density industrial storage designed to optimize floor plans, protect personnel, and accelerate return on investment.
Double Your Capacity Within Your Existing Footprint
Traditional static racking requires multiple fixed access aisles, which can consume a significant portion of available floor space. RACK&ROLL™ transforms static racking into a compact, dynamic storage layout by mounting industrial racking onto heavy-duty mobile carriages that slide laterally along precision floor tracks.
By opening only the aisle needed for access, facilities can recover 50% or more of usable floor area in suitable applications. This recovered space can be repurposed for expanded production lines, additional staging areas, or streamlined packing operations without expanding the building footprint.
Heavy-Duty Performance and Operational Savings
The RACK&ROLL™ 8MA is built specifically for rugged industrial environments. With a weight capacity of up to 8,000 lbs (3,629 kg) per double-deep rack section and maximum carriage lengths reaching 45 feet (13.7 m), it easily handles heavy industrial inventory, automotive parts, and bulk supplies.
Consolidating inventory into a high-density mobile envelope empowers facility managers to:
- Lower Overhead Costs: Maximize density within your existing building shell, avoiding high real estate expansion leases.
- Streamline Workflows: Consolidated storage can reduce unnecessary travel and simplify access to inventory.
- Improve Inventory Organization: A structured, high-density layout can make inventory easier to locate and manage.
Engineered for Controlled, Safe Operation
Montel’s RACK&ROLL™ 8MA combines heavy-duty engineering with intuitive safety features:
- Integrated Rail System: Rails can be embedded in concrete or installed on an appropriate level base to provide stable, controlled carriage movement.
- SafeCrank® Mechanical Assist: The 3-spoke rotating handle with soft-touch knobs makes heavy loads easier to move manually.
- Aisle Safety: An integrated safety push-button helps prevent carriage movement while the aisle is occupied.
Versatility Across Industrial Sectors
Whether deployed in automotive supply chains, military logistics, retail distribution centers, or general industrial warehousing, the RACK&ROLL™ 8MA adapts to your specific operational reality.

Warehouse Operations Q&A
Q: Can existing static pallet racking be mounted onto RACK&ROLL™ mobile carriages?
A: Yes. Montel’s RACK&ROLL™ mobile carriages are designed to integrate with both new and existing industrial racking, allowing you to upgrade to a high-density layout without replacing your current hardware.
Q: How does the SafeCrank® handle support operator safety in an active aisle?
A: The 3-spoke SafeCrank® features a built-in safety push-button at the center of the wheel. Engaging the button locks the carriage in place, preventing accidental movement while personnel or equipment are inside the aisle.
Q: What floor modifications are required to install RACK&ROLL™ 8MA?
A: Tracks can be embedded directly into new poured concrete floors or surface-mounted onto existing concrete slabs with level transition ramps, ensuring smooth forklift and cart access across the system.
