Practical and efficient archive storage solutions are essential in institutions such as businesses, libraries, universities and museums. Our archive storage solutions offer a safe and secure method of storing documents, books and precious artefacts.
For many institutions, archival storage is key to day-to-day functionality, offering an accessible solution that can be tailored to meet key operational needs and adapt to the size and type of building where archiving is required. This bespoke approach can be particularly useful in adjusting the volume of storage needed and making the most of the floorspace available.
Key for administration, archiving also helps to keep documents organised and easy to access, improves the efficiency of auditing procedures and can also ensure that your organisation meets key legal requirements with regards to data protection, data loss and security.

Archive Storage Solutions
At Rackline we have been supporting organisations in the creation of perfect archive storage areas since 1984. Below are just some of the archive storage solutions installed on these sites:
Roller Racking (Mobile Shelving)
Rackline’s Roller racking systems are mobile storage systems that are mounted on mobile bases. These mobile shelving units are designed to move effortlessly on tracks and remove the aisle space you would need with conventional static shelving solutions. Roller racking systems can save up to 70% of the space associated with regular static shelving systems.
Static Archive Shelving Solutions
These shelving systems are, as the name suggests, shelving units designed to stay in place. Static shelving systems take many forms, depending upon the items you wish to store. Our static shelving systems consist of double-sided gondolas, single-sided static shelving units and wall units. These units in turn consist of either fixed or adjustable shelves to adapt to your changing needs.
Plan Chests
Rackline’s plan chest units provide archives with superior preservation for oversized documents like blueprints and maps. They allow for flat, horizontal storage that prevents folding, bending, or rolling damage over time.
Their shallow, broad drawers enhance accessibility, enabling quick retrieval and inspection with minimal handling to reduce wear on fragile materials. Further, locks are available in configurations to meet your unique needs, ensuring items are kept secure.
