A stabilizing and enclosure system for a series of side-by-side mobile storage units. Each mobile storage unit includes a storage member, such as a cabinet assembly, mounted for extendible and retractable movement relative to a base which is rigidly fixed to a supporting structure such as a floor. A stationary stabilizing member is provided for each storage unit. An extendible and retractable engagement mechanism is interposed between each stabilizing member and the storage member of each storage unit, and is movable along with the storage member upon movement between its extended and retracted positions for maintaining engagement of the storage unit with the stabilizing member, to prevent the storage unit from tipping. In one embodiment, each stabilizing member is in the form of a top panel which overlies one of the storage units. Adjacent top panels are connected together, and each top panel is preferably engaged with the storage unit base by a vertical post. An end panel is engaged with each endmost top panel at its upper end, and is secured to the endmost base at its lower end. An extendible and retractable engagement mechanism is interposed between each top panel and a top wall defined by one of the storage members. The interconnected top panels, end panels, rear posts and bases function to form a housing or enclosure around the side-by-side storage units, which is rigidly interconnected with the floor through mounting of the bases to the floor. Each extendible and retractable mechanism stabilizes its respective storage member during movement between the extended and retracted positions.
