Citadel Series — 12 Rifle Racking | Single Unit

Large Rifle Cradle with a 100mm V-mouth and barrel catch, optional elastic retention strap. Twelve individually adjustable buttstock containers — every rifle leans independently. 12 rifles per module, 24 in the standard two-tier Unit.

Full description:

Built for mixed inventory rather than maximum density. The Large Rifle Cradle's 100mm V-shaped mouth and barrel catch take a wider range of rifle profiles — and whatever's mounted on them — than the High Density unit's slimmer cradle, with an optional elastic retention strap for added hold. Each of the 12 positions has its own adjustable buttstock container, so every rifle leans at its own angle instead of following the row. The frame is a welded tube-and-panel module — 1200mm H x 1200mm L x 400mm D, faced with the cross-perforated Paladin Armoury pegboard system — built to stack, gang side-by-side, and connect back-to-back.

Why Paladin

The wider cradle mouth and independent buttstock adjustment are built for inventory that doesn't sort into one profile — a range or dealer running compacts next to service rifles, different optics and accessories on every gun, or an armoury holding whatever's been issued over the years rather than one standard pattern. Where the High Density unit optimises for volume, this one optimises for fit and flexibility. Designed and manufactured in South Africa, made to order, with local lead times and local support behind every module.

Designed For Walk-in safes • Armouries — commercial, police, and military • Private security depots • Mobile and portable installations • Shipping containers

Important This unit is a racking and retention system, not a standalone safe. It is designed for installation inside a SABS 953-1 or SABS 953-2 compliant safe or strongroom and does not itself constitute a certified security enclosure. The security cabinet's locking doors provide internal access control and compartmentalisation within an already-secured space, not an independent compliance boundary.
