Racking Systems

Racks and Frames provide support for unwieldy objects that do not rest safely or effectively on a horizontal surface. These systems are often used for objects that are longer than they are wide, or framed objects that must be stored with their exhibition hardware intact. Most rack and frame support is vertical.
