The unit’s top end was constructed with open-access shelves perfect for box storage. Its use was instrumental in providing a state historical society with much-needed storage capacity. So, they could better service specific collection needs. Read on to learn about the circumstances that brought about the system’s installation.

Aging map cases sat in a crowded storage area at the institution’s headquarters. Added space to accommodate box storage and extra map storage was wanted by staff. There was also a desire to improve the old map cabinets. So, museum personnel sought advice from a local storage expert.

There was a visit to the site and a discussion about establishment needs with internal teams leading up the formal recommendation. The consultant proposed using a specific line of museum map cabinet drawers, which fit on mobile carriage shelving designed to save space. System operation is easy. A push button controls carriage movement. Floor rails provide guidance as it moves to eliminate excess aisles and free up space for extra storage capacity.
