Do you want to organize your drawers and store your tools tidily? Rousseau offers various solutions to divide your drawers and help you gain in efficiency and productivity. Yearly inventory counts are always difficult and time consuming, especially with smaller parts. This becomes excessive when, for a variety of reasons, you want to verify stock levels on a more frequent basis; such as quarterly or monthly. You can increase space in your stock room and decrease the time it takes to inventory your products using modular drawer cabinet systems.

Modular drawer systems can be added to your existing shelving to increase the storage space you have available. The drawers are adaptable to most brands of shelving with specific adapter brackets. You can choose how much space you want to convert to drawers, using brackets from 18” to 48” high. The drawers are available in most standard shelf sizes and depths from 3” to 12” deep.
Not only will the modular drawers create more space for parts in your shelving units, but, since the drawers have full extension, the full depth of the drawer is visible when fully extended; therefore all parts and components, whether in partitioned compartments or in plastic bins, are available for viewing and counting. This makes inventory counts much faster and easier than working on a conventional shelving with a plastic bin system. You can also take a quick visual inventory at any time without having to pull out each shelf bin and look inside or open up a box and count the contents. Drawers in shelving also help keep inventory parts and components away from environmental dust and debris, as opposed to shelf bins that leave the contents exposed.
Drawers can be ordered in a variety of colors; therefore you can coordinate with existing equipment or mirror your company colors. You can also order drawers in colors to code drawers for certain types of products, making it easier to locate products; and, if you don’t want to integrate drawers into your existing shelving units, all of these options are also available in stand-alone locking industrial drawer cabinets.

The following is an example of how drawer storage was used to help maximize storage.

CHALLENGE

Maximize warehouse storage space and set up appropriate workspace for the manufacturing division.

OBJECTIVE

Develop an efficient and scalable storage system.

THE SOLUTION

A heavy-goods vehicle dealer needed a new truck center to handle their growing business and the subject of parts storage was soon raised. Their parts department needed to upgrade their parts warehouse.

The primary goal was to maximize the use of space and plan for future expansion. For an expanding business, versatile and modular products are essential because they allow future storage needs to be taken into consideration. The sales consultant helped design and lay out the parts area to maximize the space the vehicle dealer had available. They made it flexible for growth down the line and helped solve complicated parts storage with a unique solution.

As well as being able to grow or shrink in line with business needs, the solution maximizes use of all available space and helps employees to quickly find items in the parts department. A combination of drawers in shelving and specialized storage was chosen by the heavy-goods vehicle dealer. The parts department manager underlined how drawers in shelving are ideal for storing small parts. And now that the warehouse is more organized, less time is spent finding parts. Employees now have much more time available to spend on more productive tasks.
