Do you have paintings/objects that require special storage?

Many museums must find a strategy to enable them to store collections that contain very large pieces of art. The task may be a difficult one since paintings and objects often vary in height, width and thickness.

The solution

Franklin Mills has the solution! We offer the most advanced fixed and sliding mobile art rack systems for individual storage of paintings/objects, with complete protection and easy viewing. Double sided metallic mesh maximizes hanging surfaces while providing necessary ventilation. All of our sliding art racks are equipped with ball-bearing wheels and an anti-tip devices ensuring safe and steady movement of each individual art rack. Art works are protected from damage by mesh panels that separate the paintings from one another. Objects can also be suspended on compact stacks using our special safety hooks.

Organization and space optimization

In a museum environment, organization and space optimization are essential. Storage methods must be adaptable to the available area in order to optimize the space devoted to the storage of the artwork. A recurring problem is the relocation of the existing systems. The challenge is to acquire more storage in a restricted amount of space while eliminating all risk of damage to the existing infrastructure or the architecture of the museum.

Our mobile systems include “sliding art racks” mounted on floor tracks. This technology offers smooth movement and eliminates vibration when moving the sections. In addition to providing maximum storage space for your paintings, it also offers easy access to all pieces of art. The superior quality design ensures secure, reliable and durable storage. Our system is not mounted to the existing building structure; therefore no repairs would be necessary during relocation. It has all the qualities and advantages of a portable system and can be configured according to your needs. Our system’s modular design let you increase the number of sections as your storage needs change.
