Archive storage solutions play a vital role with offices, libraries, universities/education, museums and more, where practical, efficient systems are essential for protecting documents, books and precious artefacts.
Well-designed archive storage solutions keep collections safe and secure while supporting day-to-day functionality and processes. By tailoring storage to the materials being stored, and to the size and layout of the building, it is possible to maximise floorspace, adjust capacity as collections grow and ensure everything remains organised, efficient and easy to access.
Effective archive storage solutions also improve the efficiency of audits and helps organisations meet key legal requirements relating to data protection, data loss prevention and security.
With experience dating back to 1984, Rackline delivers high-quality storage solutions, including static and mobile shelving systems, all designed to meet the current standards and regulations of the British Trade Association of the Storage Equipment Industry (SEMA), giving customers confidence in the performance and safety of their archive storage. All our systems, are designed and manufactured in the UK.
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 archive 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, with structures and weight bearing abilities to meet the needs of the items you wish to store. Rackline static shelving systems consist of double-sided gondolas, single-sided static shelving units and wall units. These units in turn feature 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.
