Abstract

The present disclosure provides enhanced slide that facilitates efficient and safe access to items stored on upper shelves. Exemplary system according to the present disclosure includes one or more storage shelves support arms which are vertically mounted on one or more horizontal slides. The arms configurations, which are spring biased or track(s) mechanism guided, allows the arms to travel outward, and then when they are blocked by a stop or aliened with a track, to travel downward. In the case where the arms are pivotally mounted on the slides, the slide system produces horizontal and then arcuate movement of the shelves effectively bringing upper shelves to a lower position. When the arms interacting with guide track(s) mechanism, the slide system produces horizontal and then vertical movement of the shelves effectively bringing upper shelves to a lower position A mini dumper wheel controls the speed of the arms while moving from upper position to a lower position.
