Warehouse & Distribution

<p>While all the lockers Spacesaver manufactures are driven by calculated, intelligent design techniques, only a certain few are deemed as smart. What makes them this way, is their ability to offer security beyond the physical confines of the steel structure. This characteristic is provided by the locking mechanism they employ and the advanced technology it utilizes to track a wide array of actions completed through the system by its user(s).</p>
<p>Employing smart locker technology in your space, allows you the capability to provide up-to-date information on the use and users of your lockers. With this data, you can better track the valuable materials stored within your lockers and predict and prepare for future use demands as your organization’s needs change.</p> 
<h2>Showing Its Strength</h2>
<p>While the locking mechanism is a major component of tracking the safety and security of each locker and those who benefit from its use, the foundation is set in its durable, proven, construction. Manufactured with 100% recyclable steel that contains approximately 89% recycled material, the heavy-duty frame is engineered and tested for continued reliability, no matter where it is placed or which locker configuration it is displayed as.</p>
<h2>A Lot of Locker Applications</h2>
<p>Let’s take a look at the variety of smart locker options Spacesaver provides and how – through a number of industry-leading locking mechanisms – they can provide value for your organization.</p>
<h6>Day Use Lockers</h6>
<p>Spacesaver’s Day Use Lockers optimize form and function, providing secure storage for personal and professional items inside a customizable and reconfigurable design. By pairing Spacesaver’s proven steel lockers with smart lock technology, users can rest assured that their belongings are protected, and owners can deliver a higher level of service to their customers, employees, and guests.</p>
<h6>Evidence Lockers</h6>
<p>Maintaining an undisputed chain of evidence custody from crime scene collection is the number one priority of Spacesaver’s Evidence Lockers. Their durable frame and customizable design options support the preservation of evidence in all forms. Pair that durability with a smart lock, and you’ll be able to clearly identify each location a piece of evidence was stored, as well as the individual who handled the materials along each step of the process. </p>
<h6>FreeStyle® Personal Storage Lockers</h6>
<p> readiness can be further increased by adding a smart locking mechanism, which is designed to allow focused access and monitoring to each locker, creating a more personalized experience for users.</p>
<h6>Gear Lockers</h6>
<p>Spacesaver’s rugged all-steel equipment storage and Gear Lockers are built to last in demanding applications. Their modular design provides the flexibility to fulfill a variety of gear storage needs, within a wide array of use cases. Adding smart locks to these long-lasting solutions, can help to ensure your organization’s security requirements are met by establishing an incorruptible log of material use, user, and inventory.</p>
<h2>Options for Securing Smart Lockers</h2>
<p>Paired with a one of the locks seen below and available from top manufacturers, the value of Spacesaver’s durable, steel-constructed lockers extends beyond their frame. Now, your organization can ensure your storage solutions will stand the test of time and everyday use, in addition to offering advanced tracking and monitoring capabilities for those who utilize them.</p>
<h4>Providing Technological Support</h4>
<p>Going beyond providing access to delivering information, the smart locking mechanism offers increased accountability through its computerized tracking and monitoring. These capabilities include but are not limited to, using dedicated software to track user and locker door activity, remote monitoring of multiple locations from a central location, and access by a myriad of methods including RFID, phone/tablet app, numeric code. </p>

Security Beyond the Locker

Advanced Functionality with Durable Design

<p>For more than 50 years, Spacesaver has been designing, manufacturing, and installing high-quality storage systems for a wide array of industries. These solutions – ranging in functionality from static to mobile applications – are focused on saving space, increasing capacity, and streamlining processes for their users.</p>
<p>Spacesaver’s High-Density Mobile Storage (HDMS) systems are available in several modes of operation – Manual, Mechanical Assist, and Powered – depending on the size and capacity requirements of your space and materials.</p>
<h3>A Gesture of Efficiency</h3>
<p>In order to serve this diverse set of organizations, our in-house teams of designers and engineers are constantly working to create solutions that can adapt to the future demands of our users and their clients.</p>
<p>To further promote efficient and adaptable use of our systems in your space, we developed our Gesture Control™ operation for use with our Eclipse® Powered HMDS solutions. Gesture Control is a motion-activated control system that allows the option for touchless operation, as well as tactile functionality.</p>
<h5>Modern Functionality for Trusted Storage Solutions</h5>
<p>With its motion-activated technology, Gesture Control™ creates a more efficient way to utilize your powered mobile system by reducing the need to physically touch the panel. Designed to detect the motion of a wide array of items, Eclipse Powered Mobile Systems can be activated and accessed by users even when their hands are full or dirty. This functionality helps prevent damage to both the system and the items being stored, supporting the health and safety of users.</p>

<h2>Finding space to work on projects can be a challenge, so space in collections storage areas, conservation labs, and other work areas often need to do double duty.</h2>
<p>Movable work tables create flexible spaces that can be reconfigured on the fly. Available on rails or on wheels in a wide range of dimensions, Spacesaver’s mobile tables are ideal for museums, archives, libraries, athletic equipment rooms, tool rooms, and more.</p>



	
	<h2>Moving Prep Table that Slides on Rails</h2>
<p>This movable prep table in an archive creates flex space in a room that stores maps and architectural plans. It provides a flat surface for staff and visiting researchers to work on active projects, and the table can be moved out of the way to create a large open area to receive and process materials. </p>



	
	<p><strong>The table features flat-file cabinets on one side and 4-Post shelving on the other.</strong></p>
<p>The work table is usually positioned near the center of the room to provide convenient access from all sides. When staff need more space to receive, process, or ship large items or numerous boxes of documents, they can turn the mechanical-assist handle to move the table out of the way along rails installed in the floor. It’s a creative take on <a href="/products/high-density-mobile-shelving/">Spacesaver’s High-Density Mobile Shelving</a>.</p>



	
	<h3>Movable Work Tables for Any Facility</h3>
<p>This same concept can be used in libraries, athletic equipment rooms, and tool rooms! <a href="/contact-us">Contact us</a> to learn how we can design a movable work table for your facility.</p>



	
	<h3>Work Table on Wheels</h3>
<p>Collections managers at this private museum care for objects that reflect the collector’s interests in music, art, and science fiction. The collection includes objects that vary widely in size, so staff often need to construct custom housings to protect them. To minimize the risk of damage during transport, staff prefer to work as close to the objects’ storage locations as possible.</p>



	
	<p>The collections managers told their local Spacesaver consultant about their desire for a large, movable, all-purpose work table for the museum collections area. They wanted large compartments to store projects in progress, and they also wanted drawers for cutters, materials for making conservation mounts, and other supplies.</p>
<p>The local consultant worked with Spacesaver’s engineers to create a movable prep table. It can be moved around the collections area, and the wheels (also called casters) lock to keep the table securely in place. Its drawers and compartments were custom designed to staff’s specifications, creating a convenient and versatile workspace.</p>


<blockquote>“It seems like nobody ever has enough workspace, so this is a luxury for us. I can leave projects out overnight and not have to worry.”</blockquote>
<p>– Collections Manager</p>

	<h3>Art Rack + Work Surfaces</h3>
<p ><a href="/products/museum-storage-products/art-racks/">Spacesaver’s art racks</a> are usually used for storage or display, but this unique art rack actually serves as a work surface for art conservators. The staff at a New York art museum needed a place to do restoration work on the museum’s large and heavy frames. The workspace needed to be sturdy enough to support the frames, but floorspace was at a premium and the workspace needed to be stored away when not in use.</p>
<p>These racks are typically stored flat against the wall, with just enough space behind them to store frames that are in need of restoration. When needed, the racks can be swung out toward the center of the room, providing staff with convenient access to tools and supplies.</p>

Flexible Spaces

<p>Spacesaver offers a wide variety of safe and <a href="/products/museum-storage-products/art-racks/">durable art racks</a> that can be further engineered to withstand seismic events for applications in earthquake-prone areas. The result is an art storage solution that doubles down on safety and durability to help protect valuable collections. </p>


<p style="margin-bottom: 0;"><strong>The Challenge</strong></p>
<h2 style="margin-top: 0;">Designing an Art Rack System for a Seismically Active Area</h2>
<p>One example involves a client who purchased a competitor’s art rack system that unfortunately collapsed during an earthquake in the spring of 2020. Although no one was injured and none of the artwork suffered permanent damage, the client wanted to provide better protection in the future. Staff asked the Salt Lake City-based Spacesaver consultant to design a stronger, more durable solution. </p>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0;"><strong>The Solution</strong></p>
<h2 style="margin-top: 0;">Designing Extra-Sturdy Museum Art Racks for Hanging Art</h2>
<p>The consultant contacted Spacesaver’s engineering team to relay the client’s request, and the engineers combined two standard products to create an art rack system that was stronger and more compact than the competitor’s system that had failed. They designed a floor-mounted nested lateral art rack and then modified Spacesaver’s standard overhead anti-tip components to integrate with the art racks and accommodate their movement. </p>
