Vol. 214: Integrating textile racks and art racks

Saving space and preserving rolled quilts, flags, and other textiles 

In addition to cantilever textile racks, Spacesaver also manufactures pull-out textile racks that can be integrated with ceiling-supported or floor-supported art rack systems and lateral textile racks that can be integrated with floor-supported art racks. These solutions work well for museums and other institutions that have a relatively small number of rolled textiles but still want to create the best possible preservation conditions for them.

These compact systems allow museums to provide the best possible care for collections while also saving space.

Vol. 213: LEVPRO in quartermaster storage


Keeping police uniforms and equipment organized

Police departments need to keep a variety of items on hand for issuing to officers and staff, including badges, safety vests, and other gear.The Halton Regional Police Quarterstores Services, located on the outskirts of Toronto, was moving into a new police facility and needed a configurable storage system. After meeting with the project’s planning team, the local Spacesaver consultant designed a solution that included multiple LEVPRO suspended shelving units. 

The result is a modular, rail-less system that makes it easy to add units or relocate them when necessary.

Vol. 211: Preserving evidence of the Holocaust

Preserving evidence of the Holocaust
Compact shelving in cold storageThe Holocaust Museum in Washington, D.C. built an off-site facility to preserve its growing collections. The new facility included cold storage for photos, film, and other chemically reactive materials.

Maintaining temperature and humidity levels in cold storage is expensive, so the project designers wanted to store as many materials as possible in the smallest amount of space.

They worked with the local Spacesaver consultant to design compact storage systems to keep collections organized and accessible while also eliminating wasted space and improving energy efficiency.
