If you manage a paleontology collection in compactor (aka mobile) storage, I'd be grateful from some insight into the ease at which carriages full of fossils can be moved. <span style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">I
am planning new storage in a warehouse-style facility </span></div>

Do you have any difficulty in moving the heaviest carriages along the rails in your collection? If so, what would be the maximum weight/volume per rail you'd recommend.</div>

Have you had any problems maintaining the carriage rails in a variable relative humidity environment (any problem with rusting or seizing up), especially when the carriages are not moved very often? </div>
