What Are The Key Features of Storwell’s Best Art Racking Storage System ?

  1. Customisable Design:

We understand that every collection is unique. Our Art Racking Systems are fully customisable to accommodate various sizes, weights, and types of artwork. Whether it’s paintings, sculptures, or framed photographs, we tailor the racks to fit your specific storage needs, ensuring each piece is securely supported.

  1. Space-Efficient:

Like our mobile shelving solutions, our art racking systems are designed to maximise storage space. By using vertically stacked racks or mobile art storage systems, we can optimise your storage capacity while providing easy access to individual pieces without the need for large, static aisles. This is ideal for environments with limited space, like galleries or archives.

  1. Protective Storage:

Artwork is valuable, both financially and historically, and we take its protection seriously. Our Art Racking Systems feature protective elements such as cushioned supports, anti-dust covers, and adjustable shelving to prevent damage from environmental factors, vibrations, and other risks. Each piece is safely stored to avoid contact with harmful elements, reducing the risk of deterioration.

  1. Flexible and Accessible:

The design of our art racking systems allows for easy retrieval of pieces, whether they are stored horizontally or vertically. With mechanically assisted or electrically operated mobile systems, artworks are easily accessed without the need for heavy lifting, preserving their condition and making management efficient.

  1. High Weight Capacity:

Our racking systems are built to support artworks of various weights, from lightweight prints to large, heavy framed paintings. With sturdy materials and robust construction, each rack can hold a significant load while ensuring stability and safety.

  1. Optimal Storage Orientation:

Depending on the type of artwork, our racks can be configured to store items in the most appropriate orientation—whether horizontal (flat) or vertical. This flexibility allows for the safe storage of paintings, sculptures, drawings, and other media without compromising the piece’s integrity.

  1. Integration with Security Systems:

We understand the importance of securing valuable artwork. Our Art Racking Systems can be integrated with locking mechanisms, security cameras, and even climate control systems to ensure that your collection remains safe and protected from unauthorized access or environmental harm.

  1. Efficient Inventory Management:

Storwell’s art racking solutions can be integrated with inventory management systems for easy tracking and cataloguing of pieces. This feature is particularly useful for institutions with large collections that require accurate documentation and management.

How Do Mobile Art Storage Systems Work ?

  • Modular Racking: Shelves or frames are mounted on rails or tracks, and the system is customizable to fit your space and collection. Each artwork is stored on a secure, cushioned surface that prevents direct contact with other pieces.
  • Mechanical or Electric Movement: For larger collections, mechanically assisted or electric mobile systems are available, allowing racks to move side-to-side on tracks to create open aisles or compact the storage for maximum space efficiency.
  • Vertical or Horizontal Layout: Depending on the type and size of your artwork, the system can be configured for either horizontal or vertical storage to optimize both space and accessibility.

Benefits of Storwell’s Art Racking Storage System:

  • Maximised Space: Our art racking systems make the most of your storage space, enabling you to store more artwork in a smaller area—ideal for spaces like galleries, museums, and archives where real estate is at a premium.
  • Enhanced Protection: Each piece is stored securely, with adjustable shelving and cushioned supports to reduce the risk of damage. Our systems protect artwork from dirt, dust, and physical harm, preserving its quality over time.
  • Efficient Access: Our systems are designed for quick and easy access, whether it’s a manually operated racking system or an automated, electrically powered one. You’ll have less downtime when retrieving or rotating pieces in your collection.
  • Flexibility: Whether you’re storing different types of media or artwork in varying sizes, Storwell’s Art Racking Storage can be adjusted and configured to fit your specific needs, ensuring the optimal protection and organization of each piece.
