Which Borroughs Line Fits Your Job?
Borroughs sells several distinct shelving families, and choosing the wrong one is the most common reason a room ends up over budget or short on capacity. Start with what you are storing and how often people reach for it, then pick the line.
| Borroughs line | Best for | Typical facility | How it is usually configured | Go deeper |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rivet-Span boltless shelving | Bulky cartons, hand-loaded stock, tools and equipment that need wide, open shelf levels | Warehouses, maintenance shops, moving and distribution | Particleboard, wire or steel decking chosen to the load | Distribution center storage → |
| Box Edge industrial shelving | Parts, supplies and records on closed or open steel shelving with stiff box-formed shelf edges | Parts rooms, government supply rooms, manufacturing cribs | Dividers, bins, drawers and label holders for small-parts picking | Automotive parts shelving → |
| Aisle-Saver mobile systems | Files, archives and evidence that need more capacity in the same room | Records rooms, courts, county offices, libraries | Box Edge or library shelving on carriages that roll on rails, so one moving aisle replaces many fixed ones | Records and bulk storage → |
| Flexi-Bin shelving | Small parts that would get lost on a flat shelf | MRO stores, assembly, retail stockrooms | Adjustable bin compartments you can resize as inventory changes | Borroughs Flexi-Bins → |
| Wilsonstak library shelving | Book stacks and collection storage | Public, school and academic libraries | Cantilever library shelving and end panels | Wilsonstak library shelving → |
Quick rules of thumb
- Heavy, bulky or irregular items: start with Rivet-Span. Its open beam-and-deck design suits hand-loaded cartons better than closed shelving does.
- Many small, labeled SKUs: Box Edge with dividers, or Flexi-Bin for the smallest parts.
- Out of floor space, not out of items: look at Aisle-Saver mobile before adding a second room. In Utah, see our mobile shelving in Utah page for local planning and installation.
- Mixed rooms: Borroughs lines can share one layout. A parts room might run Box Edge along the walls and Rivet-Span for bulk stock in the middle.
Our Salt Lake City team has installed Borroughs systems for Utah courts, state agencies and private offices (see the customer comments below).
