Lateral Art Racks
Our Floor-Mounted Lateral Art Racks provide convenience and flexibility, helping maximize space while protecting hanging art. Designed to fit spaces of all configurations, these versatile systems can be installed on existing floors or planned into new construction. Available with double-sided wire mesh screens that are flush with the frame on both sides, these systems offer unlimited flexibility regarding how artwork is arranged.

In addition, all wheel sections come equipped with in-rail anti-tip devices – reducing weight balance concerns.
