EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT AUTOMOTIVE METAL SHELVING
Picture an automotive garage or workshop for a moment; what do you see? If you imagine a space filled with a wide variety of different sized tools, parts, and equipment, you would be correct.
Unlike many other commercial industries, automotive companies share a unique need for flexible and versatile storage solutions. That’s why DACO is pleased to offer business owners some of the best metal shelving on the market for the automotive industry.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF AUTOMOTIVE METAL SHELVING?
With so many items needing to be stored, it takes a special sort of shelving to get the job done right. That’s precisely what you’re going to get with automotive metal shelving. Automotive metal shelving boasts several key benefits that make them an ideal choice for business owners within this industry. Not only can they improve your workshop or garage organization, but they also make it easier to find what you’re looking for.
Automotive shelving can also be further customized with optional accessories to improve their efficiency. These options include:
- Drawers
- Labels
- Bins
- Compartments
- Dividers
With improved organization and accessibility, you’ll also find that your employees are working more productively, and you can lower your overall labor costs.
WHICH TYPE OF METAL SHELVING IS RIGHT FOR YOUR AUTOMOTIVE BUSINESS?
All of the metal shelving at DACO is constructed from high-grade metal materials. Beyond this piece of information, however, it’s crucial to determine which type of shelving unit will work best for your business.
There are two main options: open & closed metal shelving or boltless metal shelving.
OPEN AND CLOSED STYLE METAL SHELVING
Open style metal shelving is the most common type of metal shelving found in automotive warehouses and garages. These types of shelving units are open on all sides and make it easier to store bulkier, more awkwardly shaped items, such as tires.
These shelving units also feature back braces to enhance the stability of the shelf.
Closed metal shelving works the same way as open style metal shelving, except that it’s closed on the sides. Depending on a company’s needs, the backs of these shelves can be left open or closed.
BOLTLESS METAL SHELVING
Are you looking for shelving products that are durable, easy-to-assemble, and easy-to-move? Then boltless metal shelving might be the ideal solution.
These shelves can be easily put together and rearranged as your automotive needs change. They’re constructed using beams, posts, and t-posts, but don’t have any cross bracing. This allows the shelves to be easily accessed from all sides.
ARE CUSTOM DESIGNED SHELVES A GOOD OPTION FOR YOUR BUSINESS?
While typical metal shelving will usually work for all of your small and large item storage needs, there are some instances where business owners require something more specific. In situations like these, you can work with design technicians to create custom shelving that fits your particular requirements.
Whether you’re interested in standard automotive metal shelving or want a custom-designed storage unit, DACO has the knowledge and skills to help you out. Our expert team will work closely with your workshop or garage to create a top-notch storage system that will improve your overall organization.
