Are there catwalks at each level? Grated or solid? Are there any flue spaces? It would need to be verified, but it sounds like a Class III commodity. This would probably have to be protected as rack storage but the presence or absence of walkways would probably impact the protection.

I have a museum with a system of high density storage units used for
storing small paintings and sculptures, some of which is crated.  It is
similar to the units used for records storage, being about 8'6" high
with 24" deep shelves, with two back-to-back shelves per unit.  The
units are manual; there are no motors.  The footprint of the units is
about 2000 square feet, and the ceiling height is about 30 feet.

Does anyone have any experience with this sort of storage, and could
suggest a density?
