Gemtrac Storage Solutions


Russ Basset’s Gemtrac is a high density “enclosed” storage system consisting of two large cabinets connected by an overhead track system. Large drawers are like pull-out shelving. Drawers in one cabinet share the overhead tracks and pull-out towards the opposite cabinet exposing 7-tiers of shelving.

  • Highest density storage
  • Enclosed design provides protection
  • Clear aisles—no floor mounted tracks
  • Easy access—media is within arm’s reach
