Stanley Vidmar to Showcase Weapons Cradle for
Firearm Storage During DSEi Exhibition 2007
Multiple cradle designs enable secure, efficient storage
for a wide range of weapons.

Allentown, PA (September 4, 2007) - Stanley Vidmar, a premier manufacturer of military storage solutions, will showcase its military Weapons Cradle storage system during the Defense Systems and Equipment International Exhibition 2007, to be held September 11-14 in London, England.

The cradles can be installed in Stanley® Vidmar®'s high-density storage cabinets and Vertical Lift Modules (VLMs). Stanley Vidmar's Weapons Cradles and other military storage solutions will be on display at booth #916A during DSEi 2007.

The rubber-lined steel cradles are designed to match the profile of an assortment of shoulder-fired military weapons, including the M4, M16, and M240-series rifles.

The precise profile design ensures that each weapon is held securely in place, preventing accidental damage or injury during removal or storage.

Depending on the weapon, a standard 45- or 60-inch wide cabinet drawer can hold a total of five to nine weapons. A 59-inch tall cabinet with four drawers can store up to 36 scope-mounted M4 rifles in the same space currently required to store nine weapons vertically. An additional fifth drawer can be added when storing weapons without scopes.

A foam pistol insert with poly foam drawer liner is also available for handgun storage.

To maximize weapon security, a right and left hinge lock bar can be integrated into each cabinet. The weapons cradles can be used in fixed or mobile cabinets to accommodate a variety of customer needs, including the extreme challenges of shipboard applications (full MIL-STD 901D shock features available).

When integrated in any Stanley Vidmar Vertical Lift Module (VLM) Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems (AS/RS), customers can achieve the ultimate high-density weapons storage system. With available heights up to 45 feet, the VLM can store and retrieve up to 176,000 lbs. of materials -  accessible from one convenient computer console.

Stanley Vidmar storage engineers can develop custom storage solutions for weapons quantities ranging from squad level to brigade level, providing the quality and versatility needed to improve efficiency and productivity.
