Optimize Storage with Modular Drawers
You’re not out of space, you’re simply using the wrong storage products
In this post, we will discover how easy it is to optimize storage space by integrating modular drawers into your parts storage.
Integrated Modular Drawers can be added to many different lines of industrial shelving to increase storage efficiency for nearly any type of business. Help your client optimize and consolidate their small parts. Drawers will make finding and reaching smaller-sized inventory faster and easier. The best way to maximize cubic-foot use is with modular drawers.
Modular drawers can be used with Metalware’s current and pre-existing Interlok and E-Series Widespan shelving systems. Modular drawers are also compatible with: EZ-Rect Type 1, NAS 7000, and Rousseau shelves.
- WHO: Businesses that need to consolidate small parts for better picking, and open boxes that better organized alongside loose tools (eg. automotive distribution and maintenance departments in an industrial setting, agriculture, and small engines, etc.)
- WHAT: Small electrical/hydraulic parts, loose nuts, and bolts, small fittings, various sizes of tools
- WHERE: Put drawers into closed shelving
- WHEN: In an existing project with closed shelving, an addition to an existing project or a new project that needs to optimize space
