Vol. 185: Bunk Lockers for National Guard

Keeping personal gear organized, secure, and at the ready

When National Guard members are training, they have a lot of demands on their time and attention. Worrying about their gear should be the last thing on their minds.

The Minnesota National Guard wanted to provide its members with a sturdy, secure place to keep their personal gear organized and secure. They wanted the lockers to have the following features:

  • Perforated panels for ventilation
  • Secure internal compartment on upper shelf
  • Secure lower compartment with lift-up lid
  • Padlock hasps on door and compartments
  • Shelf, hooks, and hanger bar
  • Welded construction & double-wall steel door

Vol. 184: Parachute Racks with Tambour Doors

Optimizing space and security while promoting proper ventilation

Jumpers trust their lives to their gear, so parachutes need to be carefully packed, stored, and secured. Adequate ventilation is a key element of proper chute storage, particularly in humid climates, as moisture build-up can result in the growth of damaging mildew and mold.

The Spacesaver team created a unique solution for parachute storage at Moody Air Force Base in southern Georgia. Along with two large compact mobile systems, static RaptorRAC® Widespan Shelving units were fitted with parachute racks and tambour doors.

Vol. 183: Textiles at a university art gallery

Saving space and preserving quilts, needlework, and other textiles

Faculty and staff at the Memorial Art Gallery at the University of Rochester in Rochester, New York, wanted to create the best possible preservation environment for the gallery’s textile collection. Because the collection includes pieces of various sizes, from small needlework panels to large quilts, they needed a variety of collections care equipment to ensure that items would be preserved in optimal conditions.

Vol. 182: Extra-wide compact storage

Promoting organization, security, and easy access for odd-sized items

Members of this Utah Air National Guard unit needed to create a better storage solution for their gear, which included ladders, bins, duty bags, and toolboxes of various sizes. They needed a system that could:

  • Accommodate large and bulky items
  • Stay organized to facilitate gear retrieval, replacement, and inventory
  • Be reconfigured as gear was acquired and retired
  • Be locked down to prevent “borrowing”
  • Optimize space in an under-utilized area in the warehouse
