Though the military and public safety fields are in constant flux, one aspect remains the same: the importance of having a secure and combat ready weapons storage system.

Spacesaver Storage Solutions has engineered multiple combat ready weapons military storage systems that are designed specifically with your agency, department, and units in mind.

Built for Readiness. Proven in the Field. Made in the USA.

In garrison, in transport, and in theater, the Universal™ Weapons Rack (UWR®) delivers unmatched security, durability, and operational flexibility. Engineered to be the premier weapons storage system for military and public safety environments, the UWR® has been rigorously field tested by all branches of the U.S. military. It exceeds OPNAVINST 5530.13C, AR 190-11, MARCORSYSCOM, and TACOM standards—ensuring complete compliance and absolute confidence.

Designed to maintain weapons in a deployment-ready state, the UWR® allows optics and accessories to remain fully assembled and zeroed. There’s no need to transition firearms to a different rack when preparing for movement or mission execution.

Universal Weapons Rack (UWR) & UWR Mini Purpose-Built for Security and Efficiency

When it comes to operational readiness, Universal Weapons Rack is the last word in dependability and deployability – no matter what! Our storage system will save you time, space and increase weapons security. Plus, optics and accessories can stay assembled when stored so you’re always ready to go.

The UWR® Storage System fits even tight spaces with its retractable doors letting you stack and gang without welding or chains. And with our high-density mobile storage system option, you’ll be conserving more space than ever before.

From movement to vibration to shock and abrasion – we’ve got your arsenal covered! So don’t worry about a thing because we’ve got it all handled with Universal Weapons Rack!

The Universal® Weapon Rack (UWR®) is the ideal combination of superior design and remarkable features. Ready for action anytime, this storage system offers both flexibility and convenience – adjustable racks accommodate weapons of different sizes and shapes, while perforated doors/sides make weapons inventory assessments a breeze while keeping them secure. You can even leave accessories attached to your weapon in storage!

Our transport components proudly passed tons of accidental shock and load tests with flying colors! The rack can be tilted up to 90 degrees in any direction without displacing or hitting other components or weapons – now that’s true dependability!

If you’re short on space, then why not try out the UWRmini®? It has all the same features as its bigger sibling but at half its width (22.38″/568mm). Transport it with ease despite its reduced size & weight! Plus, it’s great for when every cubic inch counts like inside containers or arms rooms.

Perforated doors and side panels provide instant visibility for fast, accurate inventory. Adjustable weapon brackets secure firearms against vibration, movement, shock, and abrasion during transport—protecting your critical assets in any environment.

Fully retractable doors allow for narrower aisles, helping you maximize square footage. Units can be stacked, ganged, or mounted on high-density mobile storage systems to dramatically expand capacity without expanding your facility.
