[Nhcoll-l] Risers

[Knox, Dr Alan G.]

Hi Ann-Eliza

You might like to consider plastic pallets. These come in a variety of sizes (and colours) and probably different materials. I’m afraid I have no idea if the conservators would approve, however. An advantage may be that you could move the cabinets easily any time you wanted to. They are also handy for large items that might otherwise just sit on the floor.

All the best
Alan

Our collection is stored on the "lower level" and I'm considering putting all the cabinets on risers in case of minor flooding. Does anyone have a recommendation for a company that offers these (stock or custom)? We have a variety of shapes and sizes of cabinets and everything from very light to heavy geological and archaeological collections.

Thanks!
