Machine assist high density mobile systems preserve rare treasures

Storage areas used to house maritime artifacts and objects had begun to wear because of overcrowding. This lead it to not being able to properly protect items stored there from environmental dangers. Since these artifacts and objects were essential in educating people about the sea, staff at one of the nation’s leading maritime museums set out to keep the mystery of it all alive by filling its new state-of-the-art storage facilities, administration offices, and educational and research areas with newer and more comprehensive systems, including machine assist high density mobile systems and ceiling suspended art storage racks.Together, these systems worked to preserve a range of rare treasures in their present state and protect them from deteriorating in the future.

Flexible, safe ceiling suspended art storage racks

In addition to its large collection of maritime artifacts, the museum also was home to a number of valuable paintings and hand-carved half-ship models. It was decided that using ceiling suspended art storage racks would be the best way for these frame-printed works to be stored. These racks are very flexible because they extend outward with just simple pull. This prevents curators from having to struggle when arranging works for display.

In addition, several safety features are included to protect the artwork from being damaged when handled. An over-head track and an aluminum-made guide angle anchored to the floor work in harmony with one another to control the system when moving. The over-head track, coupled with a precision frictionless roller guide trolley with isolators made out of silicone rubber, reduces vibrations. These ceiling suspended art storage racks are also equipped with wheels mounted at the front base to prevent swaying.

Greater capacity machine assist high density mobile systems

By using machine assist high density mobile systems, the museum was able to comfortably store their maritime collection in half as much space as before. This was made possible because of how these unique systems are built. With just a simple turn of a spoke-shaped handle, the carriages of these machine assist high density mobile systems compact. As the system condenses, space capacity is doubled in size. This gave museum staff the ability to display their collection of maritime artifacts, paintings and ship models all in one place. Machine assist high density mobile systems optimize floor space.
