Vol. 255: Converting to High-Density Storage


Helping a client save funds and save space 

Spacesaver specializes in designing and manufacturing custom storage solutions for virtually any need, but we can also help clients stay on budget by accommodating their existing storage systems.

This state’s transit authority uses a central facility to repair and maintain buses and other vehicles. Windshields are particularly difficult to store because of their large size and delicate nature, and the agency had invested in custom racks to keep windshields organized and protected. When the facility began running out of room, the supervisor called on a local Spacesaver consultant to help design a more efficient storage solution.

Vol. 254: Adaptive Equipment Storage

Helping a school serve special needs students

Schools often need to store adaptive equipment for special needs students. These items, such as wheelchairs, standing aids, and gait trainers, are essential for enriching students’ educational experiences, but they’re expensive and often unwieldy and difficult to store.

This school had a large room in which to store adaptive equipment, but the room was becoming cluttered and overcrowded. Teachers found it difficult to find what they needed, and the time they wasted looking for equipment and moving it around was cutting into their planning time.

Vol. 253: Day Use Lockers with Perforated Doors

Custom solutions for unique needs 

Spacesaver’s custom manufacturing capabilities enable our clients to choose from a wide variety of Day Use Locker sizes, styles, and finishes to suit their interior design.

This client wanted 240 locker openings that would secure employees’ belongings while allowing for ventilation and visibility into the lockers. They also wanted the lockers to be able to accept electrical wiring for charging ports at a later date.

Vol. 252: Custom GROW Mobile System

Increasing yield in limited square footage

This facility’s state-issued cannabis cultivation license restricted the grow area’s footprint to 3,000 square feet, but it didn’t limit the grow rooms’ volume. The founder decided to go vertical and grow on multiple tiers.

Spacesaver was the only mobile vertical racking provider that could manufacture a system robust enough to fill the grow rooms both horizontally and vertically.

Helping a business save space, manage inventory, and improve efficiency

Vol. 250: Custom Cabinets for Coin Collection

Modular cabinets offer space savings and a flexible design

Museum collections grow and change over time, so it’s important to equip collections storage areas with cabinets that can adapt to changing needs.

That was the case at this small museum, which needed a new storage solution for its coin collection, reference books, and preservation supplies. Spacesaver’s versatile 920 preservation cabinet was fitted with trays to provide compact storage for the coins, along with custom features to meet the museum’s other needs.

Vol. 249: High-Density Storage in Inpatient Pharmacies

Storing more drugs and supplies in less space

Space is always at a premium in hospitals, and regulations for hazardous drug storage have created an even greater space crunch in hospitals’ inpatient pharmacies. These pharmacies are usually “landlocked” inside hospitals with little or no room to expand. 

Although every inpatient pharmacy is different, Spacesaver products are typically used in two areas: they store hazardous drugs efficiently and securely in the new rooms that must be constructed to bring these pharmacies into compliance with USP 800 regulations, and they also help recover space that was lost elsewhere in the pharmacies when the rooms were constructed.

Vol. 248: Aluminum Trays on Widespan

Preserving historic flags and other textiles

A recent move to a new preservation facility gave staff at this museum the opportunity to improve preservation conditions for their extensive flag collections while also optimizing space and planning for the future. Custom aluminum trays mounted on Spacesaver’s RaptorRAC™ Widespan Shelving provide safe storage for delicate textiles. To provide room for future growth, rails were installed into the floor during construction. 

NOTE TO SALES REPS: Aluminum trays are available in 2.25” height only. The front and rear tray ends have an integrated “lip” that serves as a handle.
To order these trays, draw the appropriately sized RaptorRAC in Configura and submit an ETO request for aluminum trays and mounting brackets to fit.

Vol. 246: Custom Graphic Wraps

Transforming storage into a point of pride 

High-density storage is a great way to store more items in less space, and storage doesn’t have to be purely utilitarian. Custom graphic wraps can help reinforce branding and enhance the appearance of useful storage spaces at schools, universities, businesses, and other institutions. 

NOTE: Spacesaver does not provide graphic wrap design or application services. Sales reps need to work with their clients and their local graphics firm to coordinate the design and application of custom graphic wraps. If you don’t already have a relationship with a graphics firm, google “graphic wraps near me” to get started.
