Expanding Your Storage Space? Exhaust Museum Storage Options First


Physical expansions are natural; no matter how well you store your items, shelves and racks will eventually get full. Taking out some items may not be a viable solution for museums, however. Before considering an expansion, make sure you've exhausted all museum storage options. For instance, have you considered versatile mobile shelving? This system consists of rows of shelves that can be moved either manually with the crank of a lever or the push of a button. When not in use, the shelves can be packed together to maximize storage space. Limiting open rows to one at a time helps maintain maximized use.

Good Los Angeles Industrial Shelving and Storage Planning Go Together


In April, shoppers at a discount store in New York were buried under piles of merchandise after an overstocked shelf triggered a cascading effect. Eight people were rushed to the hospital for serious injuries. The damage was so severe, other unharmed shoppers even wondered whether or not an earthquake hit the city. Nevertheless, various reports described it as such. Safety officials reiterate the importance of proper shelving in the workplace. This doesn't just include buying sturdy industrial shelving in Los Angeles but also knowing where and how to place it, what items it can hold, and how it can be safely moved or expanded. Every industry that requires storage solutions, not just retail, should know these things.

Preserve Books and Records Using Mobile Shelving

Huge libraries like the Boston Public Library keep and display millions of books in their shelves. With this large number, it’s not surprising to find some books that have been long damaged to such an extent that they can no longer be used. Library custodians tend to dispose them to give way for newer and more relevant volumes.

However, there are many other factors that influence custodians’ decision to dispose of books. Besides the damage, it could also be that the library is simply running out of efficient space to store all the literature in. Space issues, ultimately, can be attributed to poor space management.

Museum Shelving: Preserving Relics for Their History and Sentiments


As in any other museum, the Saratoga’s artifacts need to be carefully preserved with the right storage and display practices. Any museum—land or ship-based—must have proper museum shelving that can keep relics well-protected from the elements, as well as from forces that could result in damages. Proper storage allows pieces of history to stay in good condition despite gradual wear-and-tear. To achieve this, not only does the museum storage facility need to have as little exposure to the elements as possible; the use of highly protective museum storage containers is also a must. Some of the things to guard museum products against are temperature fluctuations, humidity, damage, pests, and air pollution. Fortunately, seasoned providers like the Olpin Group have an array of storage solutions for the preservation of artifacts and articles.

Mobile and Boltless Shelving in Los Angeles Preserve Books and Records


Mobile shelving features movable shelves that can be huddled together when there is no immediate need for their contents. This increases the number of storage units a room can accommodate. Boltless racks, on the other hand, can be stacked as high as needed, increasing storage space. Libraries and work spaces looking to optimize space can also take advantage of quality modular millwork to create a more flexible working environment. By making room articles adjustable in case of a major facelift, any facility can effectively respond to changes and circumstances. Space planning experts from companies like the Olpin Group can design a system that will optimize available space while leaving options for possible expansions.

Maximizing and Customizing Office Floor Space

Although most folks imagine workplace environments as dull and drab, any good company knows that it needs a vibrant atmosphere to keep their employees comfortable. At the same time, companies also need to strike a balance with the ergonomics of their office spaces so that their employees’ efficiency can be further improved. Companies need to be wary of the furniture and millwork they introduce into their offices, since these things can significantly affect productivity.

Millwork, particularly those already premade, make for a quick and easy way to provide instant storage space and work surfaces for businesses. Companies ordering millwork for storage cabinets and the like should consider modular designs so that they can move around the surfaces as needed. Flexibility may not seem like a useful feature at first, but for growing companies, the ability to reposition equipment will come in handy once they expand further.

To make the most out of millwork or office layouts in general, companies should approach specialized consultants for aid. Consultants can help businesses plan for an office layout that meshes well with the companies’ workflow. There is a science to determining office space layouts that are both ergonomic and visually appealing, so it is best left to experts to actually map out such details.

Shelving for High Volume Paper Documents and Items

While the digital age has allowed us to create, store and access documents on computers and handheld devices, some businesses still have the need for paper documents. If these are a large part of their operations, the volume of documents can become quite high, and keeping them organized can be a bit of a challenge.
Property is one of the key investments a home or business owner can make, so it is quite understandable if they choose not to build shelves that need to be bolted onto the wall. Not only can this be tedious, but it can also compromise the property’s interiors walls. If the company doesn’t have a need for the shelves anymore, there would still be holes in the wall. These holes from bolts cost money to repair and if left unaddressed, can affect the aesthetics of the interiors and the overall value of the property.
When faced with a large organizing dilemma, what most builders and interior decorators recommend is boltless shelving. These are built to hold a huge amount of documents and other materials, and don’t need to be bolted onto walls for support. Furthermore, when not needed, boltless shelves can be disassembled and kept in storage.
There are many providers of boltless shelving in Los Angeles, many of which provide transport and assembly services. With boltless shelving, you quickly produce the amount of shelves you need for your office without drastic changes to your property.

Using Proper Mobile Shelving Solutions Helps Double Storage Space


"It may not seem such top-heavy priority for businesses, but proper storage systems do significantly improve a company’s productivity. Knowing that your company’s documents and inventories are properly secured and filed considerably reduces the time that workers would otherwise squander to retrieve whatever they need. Institutions, such as museums, acquire collections that require archival and superior-grade museum storage. Most of these collections are priceless works of art or valuable artifacts that require special protection while in storage. A study by UNESCO and The International Centre for the Study of the Preservation and Restoration of Cultural Property (ICCROM), revealed that 25 percent of museums in 136 countries are choked to overflowing that the risk for theft and damage has intensified."

The Benefits of Mobile Shelving Units

Offices not only house employees and equipment, but the company’s important business files as well. While the world is fast becoming digital, it’s surprising how many offices still rely on paper to document contracts, memoranda and financial records, as evidenced by the racks of storage cabinets found in workplaces. 

Unfortunately, these very same cabinets occupy space that can be used more productively, such as for more cubicles. To maximize space, businesses in many sectors use mobile shelving units, which are essentially moveable filing cabinets mounted on a track. What sets them apart from other storage options? 

Space Efficient 

If you were to install free-standing shelves, you would also need aisles between them so you can retrieve the files. Mobile shelving stacks or nests against each other, and a turn of the crank separates each unit, thereby creating the access aisle between them. 

Suitable for Any Office Size 

Since mobile shelves are so space efficient, they can be installed in any office, big or small. What’s more, their simple design means that modifications need not be done to the room just to accommodate them. 

Scalability 

Mobile shelving units are modular in design, which means you can add as many shelves as you need with little hassle—something that proves useful as you accumulate more files over the years.

Stainless Steel Shelves: Pick the Right One

Stainless steel shelving are always in high demand. They come in various designs and styles, so it can be easy for you to choose one that’s ideal for your intended purpose, whether it’s for a residential, commercial, or even an industrial application. 

Since the material is made from steel, you can expect your shelf to resist oxidation, corrosion, and staining. High quality stainless steel shelves are well-built, so rest assured you can store heavy items and load onto them. Businesses involved in risky environments choose this type of rack since it won’t easily warp from fluctuating temperature. 

The food and medical industry, in particular, favor stainless steel shelves because they are fire and impact resistant. In addition, there are certain stainless steel shelving manufacturers who use new technology to add a safe antimicrobial element to their products and keep bacterial growth at bay. 

Stainless steel shelves come with varied features and are priced differently, so pick one that matches your needs and budget. Aside from choosing between single and double overshelves, you also have the option of mounting it on walls, floors and ceilings. 

When it comes to wall mounted models, spice racks, microwave shelves, utensil racks and floating wall shelves are the common choices. These are typically made of 16 or 14 gauge stainless steel. Aerolock extrusions maybe added to the mounted legs for extra strength. You can also find ones with a v-shaped countertop edge for minimum spillage.

The Importance of Storage in Preserving History

Museums will provide you a unique experience when you step inside them. These institutions of culture and history have items that are regularly exhibited due to the fact that some of them are rare and quite valuable.
Local museums are a great way for communities to showcase the history, tradition, and culture of the community, serving to bind and bring together all the members of the community. Exhibits in local museums are typically organized according to a theme, and as an exhibit ends, the items on display have to be stored to make way for a different one.
Local museums are also often the recipient of donated artifacts from the community, and while not all of these artifacts may be put on display for various reasons, they remain preserved in the museum’s storage area.
For this reason, museum curators and owners need to identify and use the right museum shelving for the items in their possession. In addition to keeping everything organized, museum storage units and storage locations have to be selected such that all the artifacts and pieces are preserved and protected from damaging elements.
As a museum’s collection continues to grow, its storage area needs to remain flexible to accommodate more items. Steel mobile shelving are ideal for this purpose. Steel is a very stable material that can withstand various environmental conditions. Likewise, mobility of the shelving makes it easier for museum curators and owners to organize their storage spaces as they manage the museums’ collections.
