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

When engineers, interior designers, and other design professionals are working on a design challenge, they need convenient access to materials so they can evaluate and compare potential solutions.

This major automobile manufacturer’s design studio needed storage for a variety of items, from leathers and fabrics to prototypes of doors and dashboards. Space consultants at the Los Angeles-based Spacesaver distributorship worked with the firm’s engineers and designers, along with Spacesaver’s engineering team, to create custom storage solutions that save space, promote efficiency, and encourage the creative process.

  • The answer will help you propose the appropriate storage equipment.
• What kind of student services and activities are you trying to create space for?
  • The answer might open up opportunities for additional sales.

This high school athletics department needed a better way to store gear for multiple sports, so coaches and team managers jumped at the chance to re-think their storage soon after an addition was built onto the existing high school.
Security was one of their top priorities. Although theft at the school generally wasn’t a problem, they knew from experience that items could sometimes “disappear” when someone urgently needed an item that was in short supply in their team’s storage area. As a result of those experiences, the coaches and managers wanted separate locking sections for each sport so they would always know exactly what their teams had on hand.

A county museum in suburban Chicago had been storing its collections in retrofitted agricultural buildings. When the museum had the opportunity to move to a renovated office building in a nearby city, staff made the most of their chance to design a collections area that would protect the collections for generations to come, while also optimizing the space.

Spacesaver provided everything the museum needed:

When Lake County (Illinois) gave its Sheriff’s Department a large area in a new building for evidence storage, the evidence manager called on the local Spacesaver consultant to help analyze the department’s storage needs and explain their options. Together they came up with a plan to secure the chain of custody throughout the facility.
In part because of new evidence storage equipment and processes, the department earned accreditation from the Illinois Law Enforcement Accreditation Program soon after move-in.

Spacesaver’s museum-quality textile roll storage racks provide compact storage for rolled items, including flags, quilts, tapestries, and other textiles. The racks are available in single-faced or double-faced configurations and can be directly attached to the floor, a wall, or a carriage-and-rail system.

Managers of cold storage facilities all face the same challenge: they want to store the most stock in the least amount of space, but they also need to maintain safe and convenient access to every item. That was the case at a large beer distributorship in Chicago, where the owners had been dissatisfied with their cooler storage situation for years.
The distributorship improved customer service and created a safer and more efficient work environment by installing an ActivRAC® Mobilized Storage System.

The system resulted in better selectivity, fewer write-offs, and a safer workflow. “We gained a lot more than we had imagined,” said the head operations manager. “We feel like we can do anything now that we’ve got the barrel cooler straight. It’s a major savings.”

Libraries, offices, and other “wired” environments often install raised floors to conceal ethernet cables and other hardware, while still providing easy access for maintenance and repair.
For more than 20 years, Spacesaver has been integrating rail systems with raised flooring, resulting in solutions that save space in connected workplaces.

This solution applies to moving walls, high-density storage systems, mobile islands, and other Spacesaver rail-based applications.
