In increasingly constrained commercial environments, making the most of every square metre is crucial. Whether you’re managing a busy kitchen cool room, retail back-of-house storage or warehousing small parts, the right storage system dramatically improves efficiency and workflow.
One solution that stands out for maximising space without compromising accessibility is Mantova’s Top Track Compactus Shelving; a premium compactus shelving system engineered for high-performance environments.
What Is Top Track Compactus Shelving?
Top Track Compactus shelving (a form of mobile shelving) is a track-guided shelving system that allows shelving units to slide along overhead tracks, consolidating multiple rows of shelving into the smallest possible footprint.
Unlike fixed shelving, which requires permanent aisles between every row, compactus systems eliminate unnecessary aisles by allowing individual bays to move aside when access is needed.

In Mantova’s configuration, shelving bays are mounted on robust bases with heavy-duty castors and guided along top tracks. This design ensures smooth movement, straightforward access to stored goods and, importantly, uninterrupted floor space; making it particularly well-suited to environments where cleaning, manoeuvring trolleys and hygiene compliance are priorities.
Key Features of Mantova Top Track Compactus Shelving
Mantova’s Top Track Compactus system offers several features that make it a superior choice for commercial applications:
1. Efficient Space Utilisation
By removing permanently fixed aisles and using a moveable bay design, compactus shelving significantly increases storage capacity within the same floor space. This space optimisation is ideal for cool rooms, storerooms or any area where every square metre counts.
2. Smooth, Effortless Access
With castor-mounted shelving guided along top tracks, units slide easily to create access where needed. This design minimises effort when retrieving items and allows fast access across multiple bays.
3. Hygienic and Commercial-Grade
Mantova’s system is HACCP Australia approved, meeting strict food safety and hygiene standards that are essential in food service, hospitality and healthcare environments. The clear floor design (no floor tracks) also reduces cleaning obstacles and helps maintain high sanitation levels.
4. Customisable and Adaptable
The shelving can be configured with a range of shelf types; such as M-Span, Real Tuff or Wire; to suit the goods you store, and dimensions are variable to fit your layout requirements. Accessories such as mesh panels, ledges and dividers further tailor the system to your needs.
5. Durable and Built for Daily Use
Constructed from high-quality materials with corrosion resistance and designed for heavy-use environments, the system withstands the rigours of commercial storage.
Why This Is the Ultimate Storage Solution
Mantova’s Top Track Compactus configuration excels for several reasons that matter to businesses every day:
1. Maximise Storage Capacity
By eliminating fixed aisles, compactus shelving allows you to store more items in less space. This means smaller footprints deliver the same; or more; storage than traditional shelving.
2. Enhance Workflow Efficiency
Staff spend less time navigating around static aisles. Instead, the system opens access exactly where they need it, which speeds up picking, restocking and order fulfilment.
3. Simplify Cleaning and Maintenance
With no floor tracks to trap dirt and debris, cleaning becomes more efficient; a significant advantage in food preparation and hygiene-critical environments.
4. Improve Safety and Compliance
Being HACCP-approved and constructed with commercial-grade materials means the system supports regulatory compliance and operational safety in food service and health-centric settings.
5. Long-Term Value
A well-designed Compactus system requires less space, reduces the need for future expansion, and supports operational growth; delivering a high return on investment.
