1 A Weapons Rack Comparison from Spacesaver Spacesaver Universal Weapons Rack with Fully Retractable Doors vs. 84 High Cabinet with Bi-Fold Doors

2 What s Most Important to the Customer? Efficient storage / maximize capacity Keeping weapons secure At the ready In most cases storing with optics attached Able to transform easily to accommodate new weapons or strategies

3 What s To Compare? Doors Bi-Fold versus Fully Retractable Weapon Density Security Flexibility and Modularity

4 Comparison 1: Doors 84 High Cabinet with Bi-Fold Doors Spacesaver UWR with Fully Retractable Doors Doors protrude 9 into the aisle, creating an obstacle around which to issue weapons. Accordingly, an additional 18 per aisle is required to accommodate open doors, which means wasted floor space. Open doors are exposed to potential damage as they may be bumped or run into with a large weapon as personnel move throughout the arms room. In a mobile aisle system, all doors must be closed prior to moving the system. Fully retractable doors mean no obstructions in the aisle way to interfere with weapon issues. Allows you to minimize aisle widths and maximize storage capacity. Doors are protected from damage, while retracted. Mobile aisle systems can be moved without having to close weapon racks (allows you to issue from multiple aisles).

5 Armory Personnel need to work around doors that impede aisle 9 each Notice that 18 of aisle space is needed just to accommodate open opposing doors 84 H cabinet with Bi-Fold Doors Bi-Fold Doors impede aisles, consume valuable floor space, and can be a safety and/or quality concern.

6 Open doors are vulnerable to damage and create potential safety/ quality issues 18 Notice how doors impede aisle and become an obstruction to work around 84 H cabinet with Bi-Fold Doors

7 Min. Aisle Width needed With doors fully retracted into the cabinet, the aisles are clear and there are no obstacles to work around. Fully Retractable Doors

8 Side by Side Comparison Bi-fold doors impede aisles, creating an obstacle to issue around. Doors are vulnerable to damage. Spacesaver fully retractable doors keep aisles clear

9 Comparison 2: Weapon Density and Storage Capacity 84 High Cabinet with Bi-Fold Doors Spacesaver UWR with Fully Retractable Doors Advertised Weapon densities are cut in half when optics are stored on the weapons. Bi-fold doors require more aisle space to work around and therefore require more floor space. Multiple options are available to maximize weapon density inside the racks whether weapons are stored with or without optics attached. Retractable doors maximize use of floor space.

10 Floor Plan Comparisons Scenario A: Weapon racks on Mobile Storage Systems Scenario B: Weapon racks in stationary arms room Same room layouts used in both scenarios. These are actual arms room floor plans.

11 43-84 H Racks WITHOUT Optics = 43 x 24 weapons per rack = 1,032 weapons total capacity H Racks WITH Optics = 43 x 12 weapons per rack = 516 weapons total capacity A. 84 High Racks with Bi-Fold Doors on Mobile

to Spacesaver With or Without Optics: Min. Cap.

12 Gun option refers to inserts in the rack to gain different weapon densities 12-gun and 15-gun options new & exclusive to Spacesaver With or Without Optics: Min. Cap. = 720 weapons Max. Cap. = 1,080 weapons A. Spacesaver UWR on Mobile

13 Scenario A Comparison 84 High Cabinet with Bi-Fold Doors Weapons Density WITHOUT Optics: 1,032 weapons WITH Optics: 516 weapons Spacesaver UWR with Fully Retractable Doors Weapons Density WITHOUT Optics: 720-1,080 weapons 4.5% more capacity than 84 H option WITH Optics: 720-1,080 weapons 109% more capacity than 84 H option

14 Weapon Storage Capacity WITHOUT Optics = 480 Weapon Storage Capacity WITH Optics = 240 B. Bi-Fold Door Option (Stationary)

15 With OR Without Optics: Min. Capacity = 440 weapons Max. Capacity = 660 B. Spacesaver UWR (Stationary)

16 Scenario B Comparison 84 High Cabinet with Bi-Fold Doors Weapons Density WITHOUT Optics: 480 weapons WITH Optics: 240 weapons Spacesaver UWR with Fully Retractable Doors Weapons Density WITHOUT Optics: weapons 37.5% more capacity than 84 H option WITH Optics: weapons 175% more capacity than 84 H option

17 Comparison 3: Security 84 High Cabinet with Bi-Fold Doors Self-certified. Security claims have not been evaluated by an authorized authority. Locking mechanism can potentially be compromised (illustration shown). No NSN s means all racks have to be certified on-site with no assurance that racks will meet inspection. Spacesaver UWR with Fully Retractable Doors All Racks certified by TACOM and MARCORSYSCOM All racks meet OPNAVINST C and AR All racks come with NSN tags on front of cabinet (over 110 NSN s issued to Spacesaver UWR s and components). No further inspections or certifications required.

18 Lock Rod can potentially be compromised by pushing it in The lock rod can potentially be compromised because the engagement with the rack is too shallow 84 High Rack with Bi-Fold Doors

19 Spacesaver Label and Patents NSN tags show certification of rack Spacesaver is not self-certifying. Spacesaver is approved by both TACOM and MARCORSYSCOM Spacesaver Military Certified!

Comparison 4: Flexibility and Modularity 84 High Cabinet with Bi-Fold Doors Easily reconfigured. Louvers support barrel clips or plastic bins, but with limited flexibility.

20 Comparison 4: Flexibility and Modularity 84 High Cabinet with Bi-Fold Doors Easily reconfigured. Louvers support barrel clips or plastic bins, but with limited flexibility. Spacesaver EZ Rails Spacesaver UWR with Fully Retractable Doors Universal in design easily reconfigured Many reconfigurations don t require a new insert, just a repositioning of internal components. Support rails accommodate plastic bins, barrel supports, & shelves. Adjustable vertically on 1-1/2 increments. Both Horizontal and Vertical Mounting Position Flexibility

21 Comparison 4: Flexibility and Modularity 84 High Cabinet with Bi-Fold Doors Garrison applications only. Spacesaver Transport Spacesaver UWR with Fully Retractable Doors Accessories for both Garrison and Transport. Transport components tested, confirming racks can be moved, while weapons held securely in place.

22 Final Summary 84 High Cabinet with Bi-Fold Doors Doors impede aisles, consuming valuable floor space and obstructing weapon issue. No certification. Each rack needs to be inspected individually. Limited to garrison use only. Non-deployable. Spacesaver UWR with Fully Retractable Doors Retractable doors maximize armory capacity and efficiencies in issuing weapons. Pre-Certified. No further inspections needed. Greatest versatility whether in garrison or mobilizing.
