Improving organization and storing gear at the point of need Officers at the police department in Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin, were storing their duty gear in an unused room. It was cluttered and unsightly, and the room was inconveniently located far from the garage entrance. When the department grew to the point where the room needed to be used as an office, the police chief acquired a LEVPRO suspended shelving system. The LEVPRO is located right outside the door that leads from the police department’s interior to the garage, so officers can easily pick up gear on their way to their cruisers and drop it off on their way back inside. The system keeps gear organized and accessible, right where it’s needed. |

Vol. 158: Modernizing a legacy storage system
Spacesaver converts an aging electronic system to mechanical assist operationAn electronic compact mobile system was installed at the Missouri Botanical Gardens’ herbarium by a now-defunct Spacesaver competitor in the 1970s and 80s. Faculty and staff recently wanted to convert the system to Spacesaver’s mechanical assist, but they had a number of requirements. For instance, in keeping with the Gardens’ commitment to sustainability, all discarded materials had to be recycled and the existing rails, carriages, and shelving were to be retained. And in order to minimize risk to the botanical collections, no specimens were to be moved unless absolutely necessary. The local Spacesaver distributor worked with Spacesaver’s engineers and project managers to design and install a solution. |

Vol. 157: Refrigerated Evidence Storage
Saving space and keeping evidence organizedThe city of Tucson, Arizona, purchased a former distribution center and renovated it to create a state-of-the-art evidence storage facility. Optimizing space was of concern throughout the building, and it was particularly crucial in the cold storage areas. Spacesaver provided mobile shelving systems for the facility’s refrigerator, which typically holds blood and urine samples from DUI cases, and in the freezer, which holds biological evidence from homicides and sexual assaults. The state of Arizona has no statute of limitations on these crimes, and evidence must be kept a minimum of 55 years. |
