Shelving with Drawers vs. Modular Drawer Cabinets

Why use shelving when you can use cabinets?

Both modular drawer shelving and modular drawer cabinets are advantageous in the correct situation. Modular cabinets of various sizes with drawers placed inside.

Choose modular drawer shelving instead of modular cabinets when...

• ...you need to store bulkier items and smaller ones in the same space. This gives you flexibility and storage options for many items. Large boxes can be stored above the drawers or below if you chose a smaller set of drawers that are more elevated.

• ...you will not move it for a long period of time. Cabinets are easier to move than shelving; they can be mounted on wheels and often have forklift space below them, so they're comparably easy to move compared to shelving with drawers. Shelving is best used in applications where you know you won't have to redo your layout in the near future.

• ...you're concerned about ergonomics. If you have many orders or parts being picked from your drawers, this can be huge. With shelving-mounted drawers, you can elevate them to be at the right level for pickers. You eliminate bending and stretching.

Choose modular drawer shelving instead of modular cabinets when...

• ...you're dealing with just small parts. If you don't need the bulk storage capabilities of shelving, cabinets are the better choice. You can often mix in either a modular drawer shelving unit or some conventional shelving and get a similar effect.

• ...you want to be able to reconfigure with more ease. Cabinets can be moved much easier than a shelving unit. A loaded cabinet can often be moved with a lift truck. A mobile cabinet can be rolled anywhere you like. A shelving unit with drawers will probably have to be unloaded, moved and reloaded.

• ...you want maximum storage density for small parts. Even in applications where you can put bins on a shelving unit, modular drawers are going to take up less space and store more things. If you need to put a lot of parts, tools, or components in a space and room is a factor, go with a cabinet rather than shelving.
