Secure Sensitive Inventory with Custom Mobile Shelving Covers
The Vulnerability of High-Density Storage Systems
Mobile shelving and racking systems are essential for maximizing floor space, yet the inventory they hold is often highly susceptible to environmental damage. In warehouse and industrial settings, open shelving units act as massive "dust collectors," allowing fine particulates, soot, and warehouse debris to settle on sensitive products, electronics, or archival documents. Furthermore, in facilities with active cleaning schedules or overhead fire suppression systems, exposed stock is at risk from accidental moisture ingress and chemical overspray. Without a dedicated physical barrier, high-value inventory can suffer from surface degradation, contamination, and a significant loss in resale or operational value.
Industrial-Grade Protection for Dynamic Racking
Our custom mobile shelving covers provide a rugged, professional-grade solution designed to create a secure, clean environment for your stored assets. As a specialized protective application within our storage covers range, these enclosures are manufactured from high-tensile, reinforced vinyl that is both dust-proof and 100% waterproof. Each cover is precision-tailored to the exact dimensions of your shelving units, allowing for seamless integration with mobile carriages. Featuring industrial-grade fastening systems such as heavy-duty zippers or reinforced Velcro, these covers ensure that inventory remains shielded while providing staff with rapid, easy access to stock when required.
Strategic Benefits of Tailored Shelving Enclosures
- Comprehensive Contaminant Exclusion: Providing an impermeable barrier that prevents dust, grime, and airborne pollutants from settling on stock, significantly reducing the need for product cleaning.
- Advanced Moisture and Overspray Defense: Protecting sensitive items from humidity, roof leaks, and cleaning chemicals, ensuring that packaging and products remain in showroom condition.
- Visual Security and Inventory Integrity: Offering an opaque barrier that obscures high-value items from view, helping to deter opportunistic theft and unauthorized handling of sensitive materials.
- Flexible and Efficient Operation: Engineered with lightweight yet durable materials that do not impede the movement of mobile racking, ensuring your facility maintains its high-density efficiency.

Common Questions
Which material should I choose?
If you are trying to choose between the 18oz and 12oz vinyl materials, please choose based on your environment. For regular weather conditions, 12 oz. vinyl is a great material at a slightly less expensive price. If you are going to experience heavy weather conditions such as heavy snow, heavy rain, and lots of wind, then please choose the 18 oz. vinyl material.
What is the most common material?
The 18 ounce vinyl is used to make 90% of the covers ALCO offers. Even though both materials are equally strong and look the same, the majority of customers pick the thicker material.
Are they easy to clean?
Yes. Contrary to other polyester covers that resemble canvas, vinyl is a material that is extremely slick and is therefore simple to clean. Canvas will capture and hold mold and stains that are difficult to remove, as opposed to the sleek ALCO Vinyl custom furniture covers.
How strong are the covers?
18 oz vinyl is a very strong and long-lasting material, in fact, it is the same material that is used on the semi trailers to cover their cargo! As you can imagine, the abuse the material can endure on the highway is extreme, and if they didn't hold up, the truckers would not use them. That is why 18 oz vinyl is one of the strongest covers that you can purchase.
My cover will be used indoors. Which material is ideal?
The 600D material is the perfect material for indoors or even outdoors if its mostly in the shade and not in harsh conditions.
Common Questions
Mobile Shelving Covers — Frequently Asked Questions
Do you make mobile shelving covers to my exact size?
Yes. Each cover is produced to your exact measurements in centimetres or millimetres. We add a small allowance for ease of use, ensuring the cover slides over smoothly without being too tight.
Which material is best for mobile shelving?
For most indoor storage environments, 600D polyester offers excellent dust protection. For heavier-duty environments or for areas with moisture, vinyl provides superior durability and easy cleaning.
Are the covers dustproof and moisture-resistant?
Yes. All materials protect against dust, dirt, and most indoor moisture. Vinyl offers the highest level of resistance against moisture and light splashes.
Can the covers protect against pests?
Yes. When secured correctly, the covers help prevent insects and small pests from accessing stored items, making them ideal for archives, libraries, offices and storerooms.
Do the covers include access zippers?
Yes. Dual vertical zippers allow quick access to the shelving without removing the entire cover. They can be placed on any side you prefer.
Can I choose which side the zipper splits are on?
Yes. During checkout, you can choose the side where the zipped openings should be located for convenient entry.
Is vinyl or polyester easier to clean?
Vinyl is the easiest to clean thanks to its smooth, non-porous surface. Simply wipe with mild soap and water. Polyester is also easy to maintain but not as resistant to staining as vinyl.
Are the covers suitable for commercial or industrial environments?
Yes. Vinyl options are ideal for warehouses, production facilities and high-traffic storage rooms. Polyester is suited for offices, archives and low-impact environments.
How strong are the vinyl covers?
The 12oz and 18oz vinyl materials are extremely durable. The 18oz grade is similar to the material used on transport tarpaulins, offering exceptional long-term strength.
Will the cover fit rolling or mobile shelving units?
Yes. The covers are specifically designed for mobile shelving, rolling archive units and movable storage systems.
Are the materials flame retardant?
Flame-retardant vinyl grades are available upon request. Please mention your safety requirements when placing your order.
What colours are available?
Standard colours include Black, Brown, Blue, White, Tan, Red, Navy, Yellow, Olive Green and Grey. Custom colours may be available for bulk orders.
How do I measure my shelving unit?
Measure the overall width, depth and height in centimetres, including handles or parts that protrude. Use the How to Measure guide before submitting your dimensions.
What is the lead time and warranty?
Production typically takes 10–12 working days. Vinyl covers include a multi-year warranty and polyester covers come with a 3-year warranty on materials and workmanship.
