A modular storage system permits access to elevated shelves. A plurality of multishelved racks are movable together and apart on rollers or wheels in a room. Each rack includes a number of shelf stacks. Side-by-side stacks are interconnected so that the rack extends in a direction perpendicular to its direction of movement. Supported by wall of the room are plural catwalks which pass between adjacent shelves of each stack in each rack. The catwalks permit a person standing thereon to gain access to shelves above the catwalk. Selected racks may include facilities for supporting the catwalks without hindering rack movement.
