Selected
(optimally) utilising available space OR (highly) adaptable to existing/available space
Designed for optimum space utilisation, the new horizontal sorter...
I'm still not sure although I've found "Raumgängigkeit" (strange word, BTW) in the following two (the only!) sources:
http://www.kannegiesser.de/technischedaten0.html
http://www.reiniger-und-waescher.de/112751.html
Otherwise, http://www.interroll.de/?wm=m(701)sp(-1,5,625) may come in handy (trilingual EN/DE/FR site).
Pls wait for informed comments.

: Indeed, a strange word invention. You are probably right with your interpretation, but I would still ask the author.

Deutsch term (edited):
raumg�ngig
compact
The sorter has a compact design ...
If räumgängig means something along the lines of space-saving, then you could maybe use something like "compact" to get the general idea across.

Deutsch term (edited):
raumg�ngig
spatially mobile
Admittedly this almost the same as Ruxi's suggestion; in part I'm just curious konw the conclusion. On first blush this sounds like a rather silly qualification (without spatial mobility the sorter couldn't do what it's intended to do), but aside from the PR factor, perhaps what is meant is that the sorter can move around (or be relocated), which would make it more versatile than a 'stationary' sorter.
