Vol. 122: Lock Box on End Panel
Securing historic weapons at a military museumA military museum was storing weapons that were still operational, and an inspector pointed out that standard T-handle locks did not satisfy security requirements. Staff contacted their local Spacesaver representative, who had designed and installed the museum’s high-density storage system, to see if he could help. He forwarded the requirements to Spacesaver’s engineers, who designed a lockbox that met security requirements and was more aesthetically pleasing than other options. |

Vol. 121: Competitors’ Shelving on Spacesaver Carriages
Stakeholders at a university library planned to mount their existing shelving on Spacesaver carriages, but their original shelving had been purchased from a competitor.
To make the competitor’s shelving fit on the carriages, and to increase the shelving’s stability, Spacesaver’s engineering team designed a gusset that fit between every other upright along the rows of shelving. The end result is an attractive, space-saving system that also resulted in significant cost savings.

Vol 119: Art Storage on High-Bay Shelving
Staff at a large museum in Alaska wanted to consolidate the museum’s collection under one roof. The museum had recently moved into a new building, but vertical space wasn’t being used effectively in the new collections vault and many objects were still being stored in an off-site facility. Museum staff and leadership decided to pursue a multi-phase space optimization program, with the first phase calling for tall shelving along one wall, which would be used to store large framed paintings and other two-dimensional pieces.

Vol. 117: Lockers in Shipping Containers
The Coast Guard Special Missions Training Center, based out of Camp Lejeune in North Carolina, was facing a problem: instructors and trainees were reporting to the dock for training, sometimes after driving long distances, and they had no place to change into wetsuits and store their gear. The unit had worked with their local Spacesaver representative on a different project about a year before, so they again called on Spacesaver to provide assistance.
The Spacesaver team designed and built a solution that transformed four empty shipping containers into a comfortable and secure place to change clothes and store personal gear during training sessions. The containers now contain full-height lockers for the instructors and a two-tiered locker system for students.
