Are you a curator looking for a solution to maximize your visual storage capability?  We have the answer for you. Only 3% of collections are on display at a time.  After more than a year of product testing and development, Spacesaver has delivered that solution in its Mod-Glider Pro™, the newest addition to its art rack portfolio.

The Mod-Glider Pro was developed with insight gathered from industry professionals.  The Mod-Glider Pro was designed with the end user in mind and focuses on the following product innovations:

Benefits:

• Screens fully extend
• Purpose-built accessories
• Built-in foot brake
• Lubricant-free slide

Ease of Movement

Mod-Glider Pro’s lubricant-free slide design keeps art collections safe from contamination and allows for ease of screen extension, requiring minimal force to operate. An unloaded pullout art screen system requires a maximum of 15 pounds of pull force to start and continue screen-extension motion. Its floor guide rails require minimal floor anchoring to minimize intrusion and are positioned on either side of the screen to ensure smooth operation and alignment upon extension.

Visibility Improvement

One of the highest priorities in art storage is making a greater percentage of stored works accessible to staff and visible to patrons, achieved by periodically rotating collections on and off display. Spacesaver’s punched triangle screen offers wonderful aesthetics and is perfect for front-of-house exhibitions and displays. Mod-Glider Pro is designed to fit most any space and store a variety of hanging art and collections.  The system allows for growth and reconfiguration as collections change over time.

Ease of Accessorizing

Our accessories give you the flexibility to easily hang and display a wide array of collections of varying shapes and sizes. Designed specifically with end-user requirements in mind.  They seamlessly integrate with Spacesaver’s two new screen options – Welded Wire and Punched Triangle. Hooks and hanging accessories stay in position while you gently handle your artwork and navigate frame mounting hardware.

Spacesaver’s Standard Hook offers adjustment on screen-pattern increments for both screen types. Each hook will support up to 165 lbs. The hooks are made from heavy-duty steel and come standard in a zinc-plated finish.

For collections that require exact hook placement, Spacesaver’s Premium Hook offers finite adjustments left to right, and up and down. These hooks also support up to 165 lbs. of weight.  The hooks are made from heavy-duty steel and come standard in a zinc-plated finish.

Spacesaver’s Frame-Spanning Hook allows curators to use nearly every square inch of pullout art screen for storage or display. Rated to support weights of up to 165 lbs./frame-spanning hook assembly, these hooks are made from heavy-duty steel and come standard in a zinc-plated finish. To produce the highest aesthetic value, the spanning bracket will be powder-coat painted to match the color of the system selected.

The Universal shelf has universal mounting holes and slots to secure and display a variety of 3D collections.  Spacesaver’s Universal Shelf helps support heavier framed artwork when used in combination with hooks. The shelf supports weights of up to 50 lbs./assembly for welded wire screens, and 100 lbs./assembly for punched triangle screens, the shelves can be powder-coat painted to match the color of the system.

Spacesaver’s Rolled Textile roll is supported on each end by (2) textile mounting brackets with pins to secure it in place. Textile rolls are available in nominal lengths from 22” to 126” in increments of 8” and each textile roll is rated to withstand 50 lbs./assembly for welded wire screens, and 100 lbs./assembly for punched triangle screens, when under evenly distributed loads.

Spacesaver’s Universal Mounting Brackets provide a basic screen attachment platform for custom storage solutions that support specific collections. Individual universal mounting brackets can be placed between shelves to improve strength and weight capacity and are rated to support weights of up to 25 lbs./bracket for welded wire screens, and 50 lbs./bracket for punched triangle screens.
