Preserve and protect your artwork with the strongest, most efficient floor-supported storage system available!
Floor-supported art racks are pull-out storage systems designed to safely organize framed artwork, paintings, and other hanging collections. The weight of the system and stored collection is supported by the floor, while an overhead Unistrut provides stability and guidance during operation.
Floor-supported art racks use individual pull-out screens that move along floor guidance rails. An overhead Unistrut helps guide and stabilize the screens, allowing staff to smoothly pull out the desired panel and access artwork while keeping the rest of the collection compactly stored.
Floor-supported art racks help museums, galleries, archives, universities, and other collecting institutions maximize storage capacity while keeping artwork organized and accessible. Their pull-out design makes efficient use of available space, and the center-flange floor rail helps minimize gaps where dust and debris can accumulate.
These systems are well suited for paintings, framed artwork, and other flat or hanging collection materials. Screen configurations and hanging accessories can be selected based on the size, weight, and preservation requirements of the collection.
Yes. Floor-supported art racks can use double-sided screens, allowing artwork to be stored on both sides of a panel for efficient use of storage space. Single-sided configurations are also available for applications where they are more appropriate.
Spacesaver Floor-Supported Art Racks are available with punched-screen and woven-wire screen options. The appropriate screen style depends on factors such as artwork size, hanging requirements, storage density, and the needs of the collection.

Yes. Floor-supported art racks use an overhead Unistrut for guidance and stability. Although the floor carries the weight of the system and stored artwork, the overhead structure helps keep the pull-out panels properly aligned during operation.
The building must be capable of supporting the loads imposed by the storage system and the artwork it contains. An architect or structural engineer should evaluate the facility's floor and structural conditions as part of project planning.
Yes. Floor-supported art racks are particularly useful for museums, galleries, university collections, historical organizations, and other institutions that need to protect and efficiently organize framed artwork while maintaining convenient access to their collections.
The primary difference is how the system's load and guidance are handled. Floor-supported racks transfer their load to the floor and require floor guidance rails. Overhead-supported racks use an overhead track and do not require the same type of in-floor rail guidance, making them useful when preserving the existing floor is an important consideration.
Yes. Art storage systems can be planned around the dimensions of the available space, collection characteristics, artwork sizes, access requirements, and storage capacity goals. Spacesaver Storage Solutions can help determine the appropriate art rack configuration for your facility.
