Compact Museum Artifact Racks
Proper storage of saddles is key to preservation and preventing damage to their shape. When saddles are historical artifacts, proper storage is even more important. Saddle storage requires support wide enough to prevent curling and high enough for the stirrups to hang without losing their shape.
One museum of art history needed a way to properly store their saddle artifacts while maximizing their existing storage space. The museum was in the midst of renovations, which would include an additional area that would meet the increasing needs of their diverse collection. A saddle storage area would be added in conjunction to these additions.
High density compact museum artifact racks were designed and incorporated for this unique storage solution. A sturdy bracket was designed and mounted on a cantilever frame, utilizing a shelf made with formed, perforated metal to provide support for the saddle shapes and allow for sufficient air flow. Saddle brackets are placed at a height tall enough to allow stirrups, straps, and saddle strings to hang without bending. To maximize their space, the cantilever units were mounted on high density compact racks. These racks roll together to eliminate the need for extra aisle space and can be accessed easily with the turn of a handle.
The mobile cantilever shelving with saddle brackets both provides proper storage of historical saddle artifacts but also helps simplify curator retrieval. The curator simply opens an aisle and can clearly see all the saddles stored within. This eliminates the need for the curator to have to search through aisles of shelving and saddles to retrieve a specific one. Click here to see more of our museum compact storage solutions.
