Like most non-profits, OERM's programs are regularly assisted by the donation of useful equipment and services that we need to keep the Museum running. To help make it easier for our supporters to assist us, we're introducing this formal "wish list" to the website. Here you will find items that the Museum is looking for, and perhaps you can help fill one of those needs. OERM is a 501(c)3 non-profit educational corporation, so your gift is also tax deductible (consult your tax professional for specifics).
As is always the case with material donations, you must contact the appropriate Museum officer PRIOR to bringing a donation out to the Museum. Not that we don't appreciate your thinking of us, but disposal costs are an ever growing expense and so we need to tightly manage what we take in. Thanks for your consideration.
If you'd like to make a donation, please contact the webmaster via email to be directed to the appropriate Museum officer. As always, in case of difficulty in contacting any of the Museum officers, call our business office during regular business hours at (951) 943-3020. Thank you for your support!
OERM Material Donation Want List
| Item | Photo | Link to examples |
| Palletainers (wire baskets). We could really use 10-20 wire basket (stackable) palletainers or something similar. We are looking for containers in the 1,000-4,000 lb. capacity range. These will help us organize parts and better utilize space inside storage containers and elsewhere. |  |
Sigma Palletainer |
| Pallet Racking. We are rapidly using up the shelving we have on hand and could use more. We can work with just about any style. We also need wire decking for 3 foot deep pallet shelves, in both the channel and stepped beam variety. |  |
Wire Decking |
| Storage Containers- we could use another 2 to 4 20-foot and/or 40-foot containers. They must be in reasonable condition. Containers with roll-up doors would be particularly useful. |  |
| Drexel 'Swing-Mast' Forklift- these forklifts are design to work in narrow warehouse aisles, and the mast can operate at right angles to the body of the vehicle. |  |
Landoll / Drexel |
| Golf Cart - We currently have a couple of electric golf carts and utility vehicles which are proving very useful. At this time we're looking for a larger (at least 4- person) electric golf cart in good running condition that could be used during special events and by our weekday host program in giving guided tours. |  |
| Wire
Shelving:
We could use more wire shelving and posts. Examples include
Metro brand (this is the chrome plated stuff that you see in
restaurants). We use the shelving extensively in our archives
areas. It's nice because it's easy to adjust and does not
collect dust. |

| Commercial
Grade Ice Machine- We
could use a replacement for the ailing ice machine located
outside of Town Hall. It's a Hoshizaki model KM-630MRE, and
makes about 1200 lbs. of ice. Something reliable in a comparable
size (the brand name is not important), in good working order,
is needed. |

Hoshizaki Ice Machines |
| Roll Scanner- As our archival collections continue to grow, we are in need of a professional wide-format roll scanner to facilitate scanning of blueprints and other large format documents. A monochrome scanner would be suitable for the majority of our needs. |  |
Oce Scanners | |

Surveyor- The OERM site is constantly being improved. We could use someone to come out and survey and then provide us with the updates in AutoCAD. We have our entire site in AutoCAD, but portions of it need to be updated, perhaps you can help? |
 |

|
Transportation Services- As seen in the above list, OERM regularly advertises (and receives) valuable material donations from around the country. Small items are easy to ship, but we also need trucking services for larger items, and we have an ongoing need for trucking of railcars and materials within the OERM site. Perhaps you or your company can help? |
