CSIRO Mobile Shelving by Maxitek

CSIRO had a long term storage re­quire­ment to hold na­tion­al­ly important soil samples so that moisture content was not adversely affected.

CSIRO sought so­phis­ti­cat­ed mobile shelving from a suitably qualified and ex­pe­ri­enced company that could provide detailed design, man­u­fac­ture, in­stal­la­tion and com­mis­sion­ing of a rolling storage system for the CSIRO National Soil Archive in Building 208 at Black Mountain, ACT.

Bosco Storage Solution was chosen as the preferred supplier. The proposed system combines elements of two core product groups, Maxitek and Boscotek.
