Modular Cabinets: 4 Important Requirements to Check Before Purchase

Par MSK Canada dans Workbench

Have you recently heard about modular cabinets as an optimal storage space for your warehouse or workshop? A modular cabinet is, by definition, an independent storage unit used to accommodate several types of objects that you’re looking to store and even organize. To fulfill its functions properly, it must have certain specific characteristics that should be checked before your purchase.

High-quality materials for greater strength

A modular cabinet is a storage unit that must be built from extra-sturdy material. Indeed, its construction must be examined to resist any kind of impact, heat, or movement, because this type of cabinet is generally intended for industries, warehouses, and workshops where there is a great deal of movement going on. As the cabinets in workshops and warehouses are also heavily used, the drawers must be strong in order to support a certain weight load. For example, the drawers in Metalia-brand cabinets have a capacity of 440 lbs., which make them among the sturdiest and most durable on the market.

A cabinet with truly modular storage capacities

The main function of the drawers in modular cabinets must be to receive small to medium-sized objects that you’re looking to store and organize. Take the automotive industry, for example, which requires the storage of various parts that are numerous, may look alike, and must not be mixed together. To improve storage efficiency in modular cabinets, the units come with different customizable separators and dividers that can be installed as desired inside the drawers. This allows for very precise classification of the stored objects, as well as the assurance that nothing will move inside the cabinet after an impact, for example. A modular cabinet and its drawers with compartments allow for efficient storage without mixing all these parts together.

In fact, a modular cabinet must be a smart and adaptable cabinet that, thanks to its reasonable size, lets you store objects in a space-saving way, out of sight and away from dust.

Fast, comfortable, and carefully thought-out use

A modular cabinet must offer great user comfort to its owner. For example, it must include ergonomic handles for the regular use of the drawers. The drawers must also be able to be opened 100%, so that you can reach objects with great ease and high speed. Because lighting conditions aren’t always optimal in warehouses and workshops, the design of a modular cabinet must include recessed lighting, which emits light efficiently.

A safe cabinet in every respect

A modular cabinet must be a safe object in many respects. Since the drawers will be opened repeatedly, it must first of all be resistant, and the rolling system must be reliable; it shouldn’t break at every opportunity in an employee’s hands. The drawers, which are also filled with heavy objects, absolutely must have an anti-unhooking system to prevent accidents.

Another important aspect that must be present when purchasing your modular cabinet is a system that lets you lock the drawers, especially in industries where objects must be stored safely. Finally, a good modular cabinet is always equipped with a base that makes it easy to move. The fact that it doesn’t directly touch the ground also lets you protect the objects that it contains from any dirt or potential floods, for example.
