To organize and preserve the science of humankind, look to Spacesaver and our diverse range of anthropology collection-care systems. No matter the culture, no matter the artifact, no matter the storage footprint, our diverse solutions not only protect and preserve your collections – they ensure maximum efficiency and accessibility foy your anthropology storage.
With space at a premium, our Mobile Storage Solutions allow you to gain twice the capacity of conventional storage volume in the same amount of space – reducing the storage footprint by as much as 50 percent.
Whether it’s our Eclipse Powered System™, or Mechanical-Assist unit, these systems readily adapt to the unique requirements of uniquely different and disparate collections. Configure them with:
- Wide-span shelving for large, awkward objects
- Heavy-duty shelving for heavy and bulky artifacts
- Smooth-gliding rollout trays and drawers to organize small items
- Hermetically sealed cabinets to protect against insect infestations
- Moveable storage racks for securing two-dimensional art
- Cantilever racks for hanging – and preserving textiles
- Existing cabinets, drawers, and trays
The list of possibilities is long. Equally extensive are the ways our mobile storage systems guard against environmental factors, or anything else that can harm collections. Just some of the features that provide maximum protection include:
- Programmable opening and closing to facilitate air circulation – or to deliver maximum and equal flow of fire-suppression agents
- Mobile carriages that ensure smooth acceleration and deceleration to minimize vibration
- Synchronized drive systems that provide smooth carriage movement to minimize jarring and protect fragile items
- Non-contact sensors to automatically control the distance between aisles and protect stored materials
- Links to facility security systems to limit damage in a fire or flood
- Perforated shelving, uprights and end-panels that facilitate air circulation or the flow of water in the event of a fire
- Silicon gaskets to seal closed aisles
- Low-level, automatically controlled overhead lighting
- Powder coat finishes to eliminate the potential for off-gassing
- Complete chemical and paint tests on all system components - no off-gassing
- Lockable units, keypad entry systems and remote access control to limit access prevent theft
And mobile storage systems are only just a start to the diverse range of solutions we offer. Take our extensive selection of stand-alone, museum-grade cabinets. These diverse and highly adaptable units can be configured in any number of ways. Among other unique features we offer:
- Solid-steel, hermetically sealed doors to protect against insects and light sources
