How do you find the right steel cupboard?
This is how find the right shelf for your needs.
Do I need zinc plated (and therefore high resistance) shelves? Which max. load must the shelves exhibit? Will I also be storing water hazardous substances in the cupboard? These are the questions you will need to answer when searching for a steel cupboard suitable for you. We will show you the properties and areas of use for the different shelves, making it easier for you to make the right choice.
Sheet steel shelves
These shelves are made of robust sheet steel and offer a high max. load and stability. They are versatile and can be used in workshops, warehouses, offices and archives.
Zinc plated shelves
These shelves are coated with a layer of zinc, which makes them particularly resistant to scratching. They are hardwearing, robust and suitable for a wide range of uses, especially in damp or corrosive environments.
Heavy-duty shelves
Heavy-duty shelves are specifically designed to carry heavy loads. They are reinforced and offer a higher max. load than conventional shelves. They are often used in workshops, industrial plants and warehouses.
Stainless steel shelves
Stainless steel shelves are particularly resistant to corrosion and chemicals. They are hygienic, easy to clean and can often be found in laboratories, medical facilities or the food industry.
Tray shelves
Tray shelves have raised edges that prevent spilled substances from running out, and protect the floor and other objects. They are particularly suitable for the safe storage of chemicals, oils or other liquids and are mainly used in laboratories, workshops and industrial plants.

Battery charging cabinets provide safe and correct storage and charging options for battery powered electrical appliances and technical gadgets (tablets, notebooks, smartphones). The integrated ventilation systems and fire resistant materials prevent overheating and fires. The robust design and the use of special shelves ensure efficient organisation and a long service life for the rechargeable batteries. Versatile locking systems are integrated into these steel cupboards to provide protection from theft and unauthorised access.
Hazardous goods storage and safety cabinets provide safe storage and handling of hazardous chemicals and materials. In many cases, they are required by law under occupational health and safety regulations. Certain models are made of special fire resistant materials and therefore provide protection from fires. Special ventilation features also stop vapours from accumulating. Our hazardous goods storage cupboards are clearly labelled with hazardous substance symbols to ensure a safe choice of cupboard. They are often also lockable to prevent unauthorised access.
Stainless steel and cleanroom cupboards provide a hygienic and contaminant free environment for storing sensitive products. They are made of high quality, rust free stainless steel and are easy to clean. The airtight design and special filters ensure an atmosphere in the cupboard that meets cleanroom standards. These cupboards also often come with adjustable shelves for flexible storage of different items.
XXL steel cupboards provide a generous amount of storage space for bulky items and large quantities of materials. Their robust construction made of high quality steel ensures high max. loads and durability. Adjustable shelves allow for flexible organisation, while lockable doors provide security. Because they offer so much storage space, they are ideal for warehouses, workshops and the industrial sector.
TIP:
To make optimum use of the available space, you should plan the height of the shelves to suit the size of the items you are storing. Adjustable shelves in steel cupboards offer maximum flexibility in terms of organisation.
The diversity of small parts storage.
Cupboards with open fronted storage bins
Open fronted storage cupboards are a smart solution for the efficient organisation and storage of small parts in different work environments. They allow you to store all your small parts well organised and safely in the workshop, warehouse or factory. The compact design makes optimum use of the available space.
The options are many and they are varied too: either stack several bins on top of each other or use the flexible adjustment options for the shelves to customise the cupboard to your needs. The open bins help employees to identify and remove the required items quickly and easily. This not only reduces the time needed to search for them, but also noticeably reduces disruptions to work. The result: more productivity every time you reach for an item.
Cupboards with vertical pull-outs
Vertical pull-out cupboards offer versatile options for storage, organisation and the optimisation of storage space. The vertical structure and clever functions save space, maximise storage capacity, and ensure good organisation.
Perforated walls make it easier to store tools or objects of different sizes, as tool holders and hooks are versatile to move around and replace. This means that all tools are clearly visible and easily accessible from both sides. For expedited work processes and greater efficiency. In laboratories or pharmacies, cupboards with vertical pull-outs are usually equipped with storage trays – for the safe storage of small parts, open fronted storage bins or medicines. As the drawers or compartments can be pulled out individually, access to the contents is convenient and easy on the back.
Cupboards with a perforated panel
Perforated panel cupboards provide a flexible storage option that is easy adapt to changing requirements and tool sizes. Cupboards with perforations on the insides of doors and rear panels can be easily retrofitted with additional shelves, drawers or worktops available from us.
Not only are all tools and work utensils clearly visible and within easy reach, but being able to fasten materials securely also reduces the risk of accidents caused by objects left lying around. The vertical positioning of the tools and objects on the perforated panels ensures that the available storage space is optimally utilised.
Cupboards with drawers
The range of drawer cupboards that we offer is highly varied. Different drawer configurations – size, number, material, function – allow the available storage space to be utilised efficiently. Cupboards with integrated drawers are highly flexible and easy to customise. The closed drawer design protects the objects stored in it from dust, dirt and damage, making it ideal for workshops, warehouses or industrial areas.
Pull-out tray shelves, on the other hand, are the right choice if you need to store hazardous substances. There is the option of labelling or marking the drawers for a better overview. Thanks to the full extension drawer, you can also find the tools you need quickly when working. Individual drawer dividers or drawer divider sets make it easier to organise production goods, as each tool has its own place and can be safely put away.
