Floor-Supported Art Racks
For those whose floorplan can handle the weight of a system and its stored artwork, a Floor-Supported Art Rack is an excellent option. Utilizing an overhead Unistrut for stability and guidance and center-flange rail that eliminates the gap between the rails and flooring to minimize the buildup of dust and debris in rails, this system offers maximum size & weight capacity and smooth operation for curators and patrons.
Features & Benefits
- Overhead unistrut provides stability and guidance
- Center-flange rail allows for smooth floor
- Optional B-rail dual-flange guidance
