Modular Art Rack

Our Mod-Glider Pro™ Modular Art Rack System combines smooth operation with versatile storage capacity. Its pull-out screen loading is transferred directly to the floor, allowing for uninterrupted operation with no more than 15 pounds of pull force. Our free-standing modular pull-out art racks can be installed without being permanently affixed to ceilings, walls, or floors. And, when increased storage capacity is required, additional modules can be added to accommodate growing collections.

Wall-Mounted

Particularly helpful when large works need to be stored, our Wall-Mounted Art Racks can be installed directly onto walls. Available in 1” increments in punched screen design and 6” increments in woven wire, art screens can be combined to create installations of virtually any size. Wall mounting is an ideal option when a large wall presents an opportunity to convert unused space into useful and attractive storage.

Lateral Rack

Our floor-mounted Lateral Art Racks provide convenience and flexibility, helping maximize space while protecting hanging art collections. Their double-sided wire mesh screens and capability for nesting wheel sections allows for maximum density and optimal configuration in any space.

Carriage-Mounted

Our versatile art racks can be mounted on mobile carriages in a variety of ways. This allows users to integrate framed hanging art storage into new or existing high-density storage systems along with museum cabinets, shelving, and other storage solutions.

Floor-Supported

Our Floor-Supported art racks provide an excellent option for facilities whose floor can handle the weight of the system and stored artwork. An overhead unistrut provides stability and guidance, while the center-flange rail eliminates the gap between the rails and flooring. The end result is a system that operates smoothly while minimizing buildup of dust and debris in the rails.

Overhead-Supported

Spacesaver’s overhead-supported pull-out art rack systems are used to safely store, access, organize and protect framed art and cultural artifacts. A single polyurethane tracking wheel at the leading edge of each rack provides guidance, eliminating the need for rails and preserving the integrity of the floor beneath.
