Project Overview
This installation required meticulous planning, precision workmanship and close collaboration between all parties. The scope of works covered:
- Specialist art gallery picture hanging racking systems designed for the secure storage and display of valuable paintings and artwork
- Two parallel high-density mobile shelving systems supporting the gallery's wider store
- Final system alignment, adjustment, testing and commissioning
Delivering International Installation Expertise
International projects demand careful logistics, flexibility and excellent communication — coordinating travel and equipment, working within a live project environment and keeping disruption to a minimum. Several minor on-site challenges common with complex refurbishment and installation projects were quickly resolved through close cooperation between the team, the main contractor and an exceptionally welcoming and professional client, keeping the programme on schedule. As an installation-only project, Rackstor UK Ltd worked seamlessly alongside the principal storage solutions provider.
Precision Installation
Art gallery storage systems require significantly higher accuracy than conventional warehouse storage — every component must be perfectly aligned for smooth operation while protecting valuable collections. Rackstor's engineers ensured:
- Accurate installation of specialist artwork storage systems
- Smooth operation of both parallel mobile shelving installations
- Correct system alignment and levelling
- Safe installation practices throughout
- High-quality workmanship delivered to programme

The finished installation provides a modern, space-efficient storage solution enabling artwork to be stored securely while allowing easy access.
