Staff at most hospitals need to store surgical kits, also called surgical trays, which contain the sterilized instruments that are required to perform standard procedures. These kits must be kept sterile and well organized to ensure efficiency and promote patient health.

Spacesaver offers a variety of space-saving options to keep surgical kits clean, organized, and close at hand.

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.

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.

The photo at top right shows how the tray guides span two 4-Post units.

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.

Keeping civil disturbance gear organized and at the ready

While 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.

Protecting collections while promoting visibility

Museum staff often face a difficult challenge: they are obligated to provide the best possible storage conditions for the collections entrusted to their care, but they also want the public to be able to see and appreciate collections. The concept of “visible storage” is gaining in popularity as museum professionals attempt to strike a balance between preservation and accessibility, and Spacesaver’s sealed museum cabinets are an ideal solution.

Spacesaver lockers boost readiness and organization

When the Carbondale Police Department in Carbondale, Illinois, got funding to build a new facility, the design team brought in a St. Louis-based Spacesaver consultant to design storage solutions throughout the building, including personal lockers, high-density records storage, and modern evidence storage. The consultant also worked with Spacesaver’s internal teams to design lockers for the department’s Special Response Team. The lockers needed to be large enough to accommodate clothing and gear, and they needed to be easily accessible in emergency situations.

Secure, space-saving storage for historic rifles

Staff at the Lake County Discovery Museum in Lake County, Illinois, wanted to store historic rifles in a locking cabinet that would not only protect the rifles but also help conserve space in the collections area and remain within budget constraints. In response to this challenge, Spacesaver’s engineering and manufacturing teams designed a pull-out rifle storage solution and modified a Viking 238 cabinet to accommodate the pull-out units.

Keeping property organized and secure

When bikes are lost or recovered from a theft, they’re often stored at the local police department until they’re claimed by their rightful owners. This can pose storage challenges as unclaimed bikes accumulate.

The Tinley Park Police Department in Tinley Park, Illinois, worked with their local Spacesaver consultant design a creative bike storage solution. The compact mobile system is fitted with custom bike hooks to store bikes vertically, taking full advantage of the space in the room. With easy accessibility and a color-coded system that allows staff to track how long a bike has been in the department’s possession, the new system allows officers to keep bikes organized and secure.

Please note: The carriage and rail system pictured here is from several years ago. This solution is currently available in Wheelhouse® Modular Mobile Storage System and standard mobile options.
