We've just installed manual and it works beautifully even with very heavy
drawer/shelving units as I use for our graphic arts materials.  I believe
that we chose manual because there is less chance of break-downs and the
fewer electrical lines in our prime storage area the better.  Really, the
manual units are very easy to operate.  Oh yes, they are probably less
expensive to purchase!

Subject: Compact Shelving: Manual vs. Electronic


Does anyone have some input about manual compact shelving versus electronic
units?  We are looking for pro and cons of each to help in the decision-
making process.  They will be used for storage of archaeological
materials.

Any comments would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
