Industrial Drawer Shelving: A Better Solution for Small Parts Storage

Benefits of Modular Drawer Shelving

Space Savings

Modular drawer storage shelving use space better than a plastic bin system. Traditional shelving with bins tends to be inefficient in terms of space utilization. Space must be left above each bin to enable users to see and reach into the bins. Often, the bins do not extend to the full depth of the shelf, leaving wasted space between the bin and the back of the shelving unit.

Industrial modular drawer shelving allows you to reclaim this wasted space. The space-efficient modular drawers come with adjustable dividers to allow you to store parts of all sizes efficiently. The drawers are fully extendable, so there’s no need to leave space for reaching into the storage compartments. Industrial storage drawers fully utilize every inch of storage space. Switching from traditional bin shelving to modular drawer shelving can reduce your storage space requirements by up to 400%.

Efficiency

Modular drawers make stored parts more accessible, saving time and improving efficiency and productivity. Modular drawer shelving offers greater visibility than bin shelving; pulling out a drawer lets you instantly see all the stored parts in a glance rather than searching through bins. Plus, you don’t have to stick your hand into a bin or remove the bin from the shelf to retrieve needed items. The fully extendable modular drawers offer quick and easy access to stored parts to save time and increase efficiency.

Security

Industrial drawer shelving affords far more security than open bin shelving. The durable industrial drawers keep stored parts enclosed and protected from dust and several security features are available to control access to the drawer shelving system.

You can lock the entire set of drawers with a single key and a vertical security bar, or you can opt for a system that allows you to lock individual drawers. Key systems for multiple users are available. Optional locking doors are also available in solid steel or clear polycarbonate.

Customization

Industrial shelving with drawers are customizable and facilitates the best organization for your storage. The shelves with drawers are available in several standard dimensions, with custom drawer dimensions available. Each drawer contains adjustable partitions to accommodate a variety of small parts and supplies.

Industrial drawer shelving can be purchased as shelving units with drawers, or modular drawers can be purchased separately and installed into your existing shelving units. They are compatible with almost any steel industrial shelving.

Industrial Drawer Shelving Features

Modular drawer shelving units provide versatile, heavy-duty storage. You can choose from shelving units with four to 10 drawers depending on your storage needs or install the modular drawers into your existing shelving units. We recommend installing drawers at an ergonomic waist height for storing small to mid-sized parts, leaving open shelves above and below for storing large or bulky items.

How Modular Drawer Shelving Works

These modular storage systems consist of heavy-duty shelving with drawers of various heights. The fully extendable drawers open independently and contain partitions for storing parts of different sizes.

Modular drawers integrate with most brands of industrial shelving, so you can purchase the modular drawers on their own and install them into your existing shelving units. The drawers come with mounting brackets compatible with any commercial steel shelving. Install the mounting brackets in your shelving, hook the drawer brackets in place and install the drawers to the brackets. This easy modification can save you money compared to replacing your entire shelving system.
