| Spacesaver’s RaptorRAC® Widespan Shelving is a popular choice in museums that need to accommodate oversized items such as crated artwork and large natural history specimens. With its sturdy frame, durable non-off-gassing powder coat paint, and optional plank decking, RaptorRAC is ideally suited to museum environments. RaptorRAC is now available with a new collections care accessory: mechanical drawers. Featuring heavy-duty glide mechanisms, these drawers provide sturdy storage for large textiles as well as dense natural history specimens. The drawers are rated for 400 pounds of distributed load. |

Vol. 131 – Deep Trays for Map Storage
| Spacesaver’s 4-Post shelving can be fitted with museum drawers and trays to provide archival storage, and the drawers and trays can span multiple shelving units. For example, the Nebraska State Historical Society was storing aging map cases in a crowded storage area at the institution’s headquarters. Staff wanted to gain capacity for box storage and additional map storage, and they also wanted to upgrade their old map cabinets. |
 |
| They turned to their local Spacesaver consultant for advice, and he suggested a solution that included a carriage, pictured at lower right, that is eight feet wide. It consists of four 4-Post units set back-to-back, with four-foot-deep trays running through two shelving units that are accessible from each side of the carriage. The photo at top right shows how the tray guides span two 4-Post units. Learn more about this project HERE. |
Vol. 130: Emergency Room Evidence Storage
| Keeping forensic evidence organized and secure When crime victims present at emergency rooms or other health care facilities, staff must be ready and able to collect evidence and preserve the chain of custody. Soon after construction was completed at the Milwaukee-area facility pictured here, the Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE) supervisor claimed a lockable storage closet near the emergency room as a convenient and secure place to locate necessities for her staff: Spacesaver evidence storage lockers, a mobile cart used for exams and evidence collection, and other supplies. |

Vol. 129: Police Shield Storage
Keeping civil disturbance gear organized and at the readyWhile no law enforcement agency wants to deal with a large civil disturbance, every agency needs to be prepared. Response gear is crucial for officer safety and is usually stored separately from everyday items to ensure that all items are accessible and in good repair. Spacesaver can work with any law enforcement agency, large or small, to develop the most effective way to store shields and other gear. |
