Small Item Storage System - Bin Shelving - Modular Storage Drawers - Louvre Panel System
Small item storage systems include a range of highly adaptable storage means that are specially designed to bring order to the storage of small items. These items could come in different size and shape.

A Well-Designed small item storage

  • Minimize the manual effort in lifting and handling
  • Store and retrieve thousands of small items in a single bay of shelving
  • Quick and easily pick small items
  • Utilize the maximum amount of cubic space
  • Store small parts & packages in the same racks
  • Subdivide bins for extra efficiency
  • Ease of location identification

Bin Shelving System

Bin (or metal) shelving systems are the oldest and still the most popular (in terms of sales volume dollars and the number of systems in use) equipment alternative for small parts order picking. Bin shelving systems are inexpensive, easily reconfigured, and require very little if any maintenance.


Unfortnately, the lowest initial cost alternative may not be the most cost-effective alternative, or the alternative that meets th prioritized needs of a warehouse. With bin shelving systems, savings in initial cost and maintenance may be offset by inflated space and labour requirements.


Modular Storage Drawers/Cabinets


Modular storage drawers/cabinets are called modular because each storage cabinet house modular storage drawers that are subdivided into modular storage compartments. Drawer heights range from 3 inches to 24 inches, and each drawers may hold up to 400 pounds worth of materia. Storage cabinets can thought of as shelving units that house storage drawers. The primary advantage of storage drawers/cabinets over bin shelving is the large number of items that can be stored and presented to the order picker in a small area.

Louvre Panel System

Louvre panels provide flexibility which allows for a huge range of storage solutions for workshop, stores and commercial environments. They can also be mounted on to trolleys for movement, on the wall or rack format. For example, it is applied between storage and assembly operations. They can be used to hold tote pans, plastic bins and other attachments for more awkwardly shaped items such as tool holders.
