The organizational advantages of modular drawer storage

Shelving with drawers makes use of the maximum amount of space

Make maximum use of available space, especially at the back of shelves where items are hard to reach and to see by changing your shelving layout. Adding drawers to shelving makes the most of storage potential in many applications. Store items of various sizes and weights on the same shelves with the versatility of these solutions.

A Comparison: Shelving vs. Modular Drawer Shelving

Current Situation: Shelving based storage

1. Shelves not used to maximum capacity and hard to reach.

2. Poor lighting at the back of shelves.

3. Visibility of items hampered by upper shelves.

4. Free space between shelves not optimized.

Result: items are harder to locate and taking inventory is more difficult. Workers have more problems finding things, and are less effective. They must bend and stretch to get items from lower picking zones, at the bottom of shelving units, which is especially a problem if they are not slotted correctly into the easier-reach areas.

Recommendations

1. More widely spaced shelves for larger items.

2. Close-set shelves positioned at eye level.

3. Objects are easy to locate in drawers that open completely.

4. Use of space optimized, based on the size of items stored on shelves and in drawers.

Result: better organized storage, easy to take inventory

Storage is much easier because widely spaced shelves allow easier access to bulky items or cartons. The closer-set shelves are set at eye level. Modular drawers open completely, allowing unimpeded access to an organized storage area for smaller items. They can also be locked, allowing a secured area for valuable items.
