Metal Drawer Cabinets for Small Artifacts
Small specimens, such as entomology artifacts, need secure and controlled storage. Often treated with chemicals to maintain their condition, these items require storage cabinets with dividers in each drawer. This setup protects each specimen individually, preventing damage and ensuring long-term preservation. Our metal drawer cabinets offer a flexible and safe solution, meticulously designed to store small artifacts while maintaining their integrity and scientific value.
Compactus® Shelving for Medium to Large-Sized Artifacts
The Compactus® shelving system maximizes storage space with customizable interiors to fit various artifact sizes. Medium-sized items, like files, documents, and sculptures, are best stored on these high-density shelves, which are both accessible and efficient. To extend the lifespan of these items, use acid-free boxes, custom-made to optimize each shelving space. Metal shelves are preferred over wooden ones to prevent damage from acids in wood or paper. Large artifacts, such as furniture and doors, can be placed on the mobile base of the Compactus® system. Our hand crank mobile shelving can move heavy objects and supports block weights of 15, 25, and 35 tons, ensuring secure storage.
Long Span Shelving for Bulky and Heavy Artifacts

Adjustable shelf heights accommodate different artifact sizes, ensuring your storage solution can evolve with your collection. Long span shelving systems offer a durable and versatile solution for securely storing bulky and heavy artifacts.
Cantilever Racks for Extra-Long Artifacts
For long items like aboriginal weapons and antique pillars, cantilever racks provide continuous shelving with long, uninterrupted bays between frames. This design ensures safe storage for extra-long artifacts, preventing damage and making them easily accessible for display or study. Cantilever racks offer a combination of strength, flexibility, and accessibility, ensuring your valuable long items are well-protected and readily available.
Transform Visitor Experience with Engaging Displays
Enhance how visitors interact with your collections using Fortisco’s innovative storage and display solutions. Our display systems are designed to enrich the visitor experience by providing unique, interactive, and engaging ways to explore your museum’s artifacts.
Visible Storage Cabinets Enhance Visitor Experience
Unlike conventional exhibitions that are less engaging, our visible museum storage cabinets emulate the new concept in Europe by storing artifacts in drawers covered with glass tops. This allows visitors to view collections that are otherwise locked and hidden from public view, creating a more interactive and intriguing experience.
- Curiosity and Exploration: This design triggers visitors’ curiosity as artifacts are kept in the drawers, waiting for them to explore. The act of pulling out drawers is akin to unboxing mystery treasure boxes, adding an element of surprise and engagement.
- Enhanced Engagement: Visible storage cabinets provide a behind-the-scenes look at the collections, fostering a deeper connection between visitors and the museum’s treasures. This approach not only showcases more of your collection but also enhances the educational value of the exhibits.
Maximize Your Storage Space with High-Density Mobile Shelving
While most museums only display 10 to 15 percent of their overall collection, Fortisco’s innovative and modern museum storage concept allows artifacts to be properly stored and displayed simultaneously.
- Maximized Space: Compactus® shelving eliminates fixed aisles, effectively doubling storage capacity within the same footprint. If your museum has high ceilings, installing double-decker high-density shelving systems can significantly increase your storage space by up to 75%, allowing you to store and display more items within the same footprint.
- Dual Functionality: Mobile shelving units serve a dual purpose by providing storage and display solutions, ensuring that more of your collection is accessible and visible to visitors. This maximization of space is ideal for museums with extensive collections and limited floor space.
Hanging Art Racks Allow Artwork to Be Individually Assessed
Among the various options, our wire mesh hanging storage stands out as a premier choice in artwork storage systems, perfectly suited for safeguarding fine art collections.
- Secure and Accessible: Hanging art racks provide secure storage for paintings and other artworks while allowing each piece to be individually assessed and accessed easily. This is particularly useful for curators who need to frequently evaluate and rotate exhibits.
- Optimal Preservation: These racks ensure that artworks are stored in conditions that protect them from damage, with easy accessibility for inspection and display.
