Johnsons, a pioneer in moveable storage systems in North America, is recognized as a storage expert throughout the museum world. Johnsons’s sliding art panels are now renowned as reliable, upscale systems:
Safest systems for the collections and the users;
Smoothest operating systems in the industry;
Maintenance and trouble free for decades
Today’s investment eliminates tomorrows headache of expensive repairs.
Designed to perform in a seismic zone.
Johnsons’s pull-out art rack systems give you the flexibility to have access to several opened panels at the same time. This allows you, as the customer, to access your collection in a more timely and convenient manner versus a lateral system which only allows you to access one panel at a time. The pull-out art panels are extremely helpful when storing new paintings or pulling stored pieces for an exhibit.
Sub-Rail, Rail and Wheels
Anodized Aluminum Sub-Rail/ Hardened Steel Rail:
The Aluminum Sub-Rail acts as barrier between the concrete and the steel rail preventing the oxidation in a concrete environment.
Lowers the risk of maintenance problems.
Self-Alignment Sub-Rail:
Provides a self-alignment of the steel rail thus prevents any fish tail effect or vibration
Eliminates vibration. There is no weight transfer from one track section to the other since the aluminum sub-rail continuously supports the top hardened steel rail at the junction point.
Provides a continuous full length, guided rail enabling the systems to move smoother
3/8” Maximum Gap between the Rail and Flooring:
Minimizes the risk for foreign objects to be accumulated;
Prevents the rail from acting as a tripping hazard.
All 5” Outside Diameter Double Flanged Wheels:
Maximizes the turning radius of the wheel thus minimizing the number of rotations needed for the system to move:
Minimizes the effort to move the system;
Minimizes wear and tear on the wheel thus reducing risk of maintenance problems;
Minimizes vibration which provides a smooth pull-out movement
thus reducing the risk of damaging the collections.
Spherical Wheel:
Reduces the friction of the system by only allowing one point of contact on the rail
Allows the system to operate smoother minimizing vibration.
Panels
Double-Sided Panels:
Allows you to safely store paintings on both sides of the panel without the possibility of the paintings touching or rubbing against one another:
Eliminates possible vibration;
Maximizes storage space;
Provides necessary ventilation.
14-Gauge Steel Mesh Panels:
Allows to store heavier paintings holding up to 15-lbs./sq. ft. for each panel
Provides a solid mesh panel designed to accommodate various types of hooks offering the flexibility to store different collections (rolled textiles, firearms, pole-arms, spears, street signs, etc.)
16-Gauge Perimeter Framing:
Enhances the strength and stability of the system
9” Aluminum Handle:
Works comfortably for hands of all shapes and sizes
Inert Powder Coat Paint:
A non off-gassing finish protecting your collection from contamination
