A BRILLIANT STORAGE IDEA: Staircase Drawers

Here’s a brilliant idea that leaves us wondering – why didn’t we think of this first? Despite our penchant for 2-in-1 furniture, we’ve never seen anything quite like this before. Regardless of attempts to be organized in the modern world, most of us continue to be ashamed of one (or eight, in my case) junk drawers around the house- black holes filled with old receipts, pens, and random trinkets. But now you can flaunt your junk drawer with Unicraft Joinery’s simple yet brilliant under-the-staircase drawer solution.

What a great way to utilize a generally overlooked space! Step and store in style, using each step as storage for a different item- everything from socks and shoes to books and, well, junk. The Australia-based company unfortunately does not have a website, but contact info can be found here, with more details in Vogue Living Australia’s Autumn/Winter 2007 issue.

Indiana Jones is not your answer for a warehouse storage solution

No. You don't need Indy's help, you need organization... organization that increases your efficiencies and gives back space desperately needed for other functions on a military base.

If ActivRAC were installed in the video example, Indy would have only had to search HALF of the warehouse with a compass or gun powder; thus, saving him valuable time to keep an evil-doer from using the Ark of the Covenant for her own greedy, self-serving purposes in hopes of world domination.

Back to reality.

Military warehouse storage is critical to a unit's ability to deploy efficiently. From Readiness Centers to maintenance hangers, SSA facilities to civil engineering. These areas, as well as many others, store pallets of equipment and supplies that our war fighters require for training and deployment.

When these supplies are poorly located or not consolidated, it means extra time for you and your employees hunting, gathering and inventorying. Strategically store and organize these materials close to their point-of-need or point-of-use so you can work more efficiently.

ActivRAC from Spacesaver allows for all of that. A mobilized storage system that doubles your storage capacity in the same floorprint as traditional static racking.

ActivRAC can even change as your missions change. Installed on existing concrete slabs, ActivRAC requires no costly structural footing or leveling. This simple design allows you to relocate the system if the function of the space is being allocated for another function other than storage.

Spacesaver understands that readiness is extremely important to our Armed Forces and we take helping achieve that objective very seriously. But don't take my word for it. I'll let Sergeant Rebecca Ray (pictured below) from the 4th BCT, 4th Infantry Division of the US Army explain her experience with this solution in this video.

The ActivRAC system in the video was installed at the 4th’s SSA Building at Fort Carson, Colorado. It mainly stores inserts for cargo containers. The containers reside just outside the building approximately 50 yards from the system. It allows her group to access the materials they need immediately without having to go outside in the elements and unlock (and lock) the containers each time materials are loaded or unloaded. Thus, saving valuable time and maintaining organization of the unit’s materials.
