Interesting idea, Are there any implications for fire fighting with respect to the inaccessibility of the materials when the system is closed? While a library shelf full of books has the same issue, random chemicals are certainly more flammable and unpredictable.
Another question is whether this is appropriate for a seismically active zone. Perhaps this would make containers less likely to fall off a shelf, but then again, could a moderate temblor warp the track system? Will this be as stable as a cabinet that is bolted to the wall?
