Borroughs Storage Solutions for System Integrators
Adaptable shelving, mezzanines, and custom storage components that fit into a larger material handling or automation project — sold and installed by MH-USA.
Storage components built to fit into a larger project
A system integrator designing a warehouse automation or material handling project usually needs static storage components — shelving, mezzanines, drawer systems — that fit cleanly around conveyors, robotics, or a picking system someone else is engineering, rather than a standalone storage sale. MH-USA sells and installs Borroughs shelving, mezzanine, and modular drawer components for exactly that role: the storage piece of a larger multi-vendor project, sized and placed to the integrator’s layout.
Storage components that pair with a larger material handling project
- Rivet-Span boltless shelving — adaptable, tool-free shelving that can be reconfigured as a project’s layout evolves during design and installation.
- Mezzanines and multi-level structural platforms — elevated storage or work levels that integrate around existing conveyor lines, robotics cells, or picking equipment.
- Pick module and high-rise shelving systems — multi-level shelving designed to integrate with barcoding and automated or semi-automated picking systems.
- High-density drawers and modular drawer cabinets — compact, configurable storage for smaller components within a larger automated or manual workflow.
Because these are structural and modular components, not a fixed catalog product, every system integrator project is scoped around the rest of the project’s equipment and timeline — storage placement, access clearances, and structural loads are coordinated with the integrator’s overall layout rather than treated as a separate, disconnected installation.
How we fit into a system integrator’s project
On a multi-vendor project, storage components typically need to be finalized early enough to coordinate with conveyor runs, robotics cell footprints, and utility routing, but flexible enough to adjust if the overall design changes during commissioning. We work directly from the integrator’s layout drawings to size and place shelving, mezzanine, and drawer components, then handle on-site installation on the agreed project schedule.
Because MH-USA does not warehouse this line as retail stock, system integrator projects are quoted and built to the project — we sell and install it, we don’t pull it off a shelf.
Where this fits versus our other storage lines
Rivet-Span shelvingThe same boltless platform used for our record and bulk storage line, specified here as part of a larger integrated system.
Pallet rack & mezzaninesOur pallet rack line and mezzanine structures are common complements to an integrator’s automation footprint.

Bring us your layout drawings early — storage placement, access clearances, and structural loads are easiest to finalize before conveyor and robotics equipment is on site.
Fabrication flexibility: Slotted Angle and how storage plugs into a larger build
System integrators rarely need a catalog shelving unit dropped into a project — they need storage components that get cut, welded, or bolted into a custom cell, enclosure, or workstation. Borroughs’ Slotted Angle line is built for exactly that: universal round-and-elongated bolt patterns that assemble without drilling, steel that’s easily field-cut to size, and no fixed catalog dimensions — used for custom racks, carts, worktables, and support framing that doesn’t match a standard product.
- Slotted Angle — light, medium, and heavy-duty beam options plus combination (bolted) beam sections, sized and cut in the field to match a specific cell or enclosure footprint.
- B-Span wide-span shelving — supports non-palletized, oversized components staged next to a work cell or line, in 12- or 14-gauge steel.
- Modular drawer cabinets and HD drawers — small-parts and fixture storage that mounts into or alongside an integrator’s existing footprint rather than requiring a dedicated storage room.
- Aisle-Saver mobile systems — where floor space around automated equipment is limited, compacting shelving frees aisle width without reducing storage volume.
Because integrator projects are typically bound by someone else’s cell layout, safety perimeter, and schedule, storage components here are usually a subcontracted line item inside a larger scope rather than a standalone purchase — we coordinate delivery and installation to the integrator’s project timeline and physical constraints (including keeping storage clear of guarding, light curtains, and other safety-rated boundaries around automated equipment) rather than shipping to a generic dock date.
