Our most popular mobile storage solution

There was a time when storing artwork was a real challenge for museum conservators.  For many years now, some of the most renowned museums have chosen our line of storage systems for their unparalleled quality, unique versatility, and intelligent space optimization.

Our museum solutions

Our  museum mechanical assist high-density compact mobile shelving systems incorporate a direct chain drive system transferring the force from the 3-spoke handle directly to the drive shaft, which in turn drives every wheel on one side of each movable carriage. A visual safety knob is located above the handle and is used to lock the carriages on either side of the open aisle.

The ergonomic three spoke handles are free-turning ball handles which lend to the clean lines of the system while providing maximum functionality, and reduce carpal-tunnel problems for users. The double gear reduction feature allows movement of a 6,000 pound payload with as little as one pound of effort on the crank handle. All wheels on one side of each movable carriage are interconnected by solid steel shafts.
