Picture racking for galleries, dealers & private collections.
Whether you run a single dealer space, a multi-floor commercial gallery or a private collection store, Rackstor systems give you secure, accessible art storage that protects every work and accelerates your workflow.
Storage that supports the gallery workflow.
Commercial galleries operate at speed. Inventory rotates between viewings, photography, art fairs, consignments and shipping — and back-of-house storage has to keep up without ever putting a work at risk. Rackstor sliding picture racks let your team pull any framed work into the aisle in seconds, photograph it in good light, complete condition reports, and return it without lifting, stacking or surface contact.
We design layouts around your viewing room, packing area and loading access. Each rack can be individually locked. Secure enclosure cages, intrusion-detection brackets and environmental monitoring fixings can all be integrated. Finishes can be matched to your interior — from gallery white to Mayfair grey to deep architectural black.
For private collections we also design discreet, residential-grade systems for art stores in homes, basements, mews garages and freeport facilities — combining sliding picture racks, wall-mounted mesh panels and bespoke flat-storage solutions.
Designed around how galleries actually work.

Gallery picture racking — answered.
Why do commercial galleries use sliding picture racking?
Commercial galleries store inventory worth millions in compact back-of-house spaces. Sliding picture racks let staff retrieve any work in seconds — without stacking canvases, leaning frames against walls or risking corner damage. They also speed up viewings, photography, condition checks and packing for shipping.
Can a Rackstor system fit a small gallery storeroom?
Yes. We design from a single static rack upward. Many of our gallery clients start with one or two racks in a 10–20 sqm room and extend the system as their inventory grows. Wall-mounted mesh panels can be combined with sliding racks to maximise smaller rooms.
How secure are Rackstor picture racks for high-value inventory?
Each rack can be individually locked, and full enclosure cages can be specified around the system. We also offer integration brackets for environmental monitoring, intrusion sensors and secure dual-key access for high-value contemporary and Old Master inventories.
Do you work with art dealers and private collections?
Yes. Alongside commercial galleries, we work directly with art dealers, art advisors, family offices and private collectors building dedicated art stores at home, in freeport facilities or in offsite storage units.
Can you ship and install internationally?
Yes. We regularly ship and install in the UK, Europe, the Middle East and the United States, and have delivered private gallery stores in Mayfair, Manhattan, Mayfair and the Gulf.
