Spacesaver created a compacting kiosk for a small bookstore located inside the entrance to the downtown public library in Vancouver, Washington.

This project was inspired by a similar kiosk that Spacesaver created for the Seattle Public Library.

A Drug Enforcement Agency field office needed locker room storage for duty bags, long guns, and other items. They wanted a durable solution that would make the best use of the available space, so they turned to their local Spacesaver representative to learn more about their options.

They ended up choosing three types of Spacesaver products: FreeStyle® Personal Storage Lockers, a custom cabinet for long guns, and a deep shelving unit fitted with frame doors and steel pegboard.

Spacesaver’s high-density storage systems can be used in a variety of back-of-house applications at hotels and resorts. The Seattle-area Tulalip Resort Casino, for instance, uses five ActivRAC® systems in various areas around its property in Washington State. The general manager initially installed an ActivRAC® to store large tables, chafing dishes, and other banquet furnishings and equipment, and the system worked so well that he soon ordered four more systems for other areas.

One of the newer systems is in the wardrobe room, where a 12-foot tall ActivRAC® makes efficient use of vertical space, providing storage for staff uniforms in a previously underutilized area.

Trailblazer from 2016 – Banquet storage

A pharmaceutical company in New England saw an opportunity to save space and decrease energy costs as their facility underwent a renovation. Staff needed to store more than 4600 boxes of tissue samples in a walk-in freezer that would be kept at -20 degrees Celsius.

See how Spacesaver created a clean, efficient storage system that keeps tissue samples organized and accessible in this extremely cold environment.

Keeping evidentiary firearms organized and secure

Spacesaver offers a variety of space-saving solutions for crime labs (see our new crime lab webpage here).

For example, we helped an Illinois crime lab create safe and compact storage for hundreds of weapons that either needed to be tested or returned to a particular department.

Check out our new CRIME LAB STORAGE page to learn about other crime lab storage solutions.

The unit recently installed a storage solution that consists of 48 large Spacesaver parachute containers, stacked three high, and four sections of Spacesaver’s cantilever parachute racks.

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.
