Bin Cabinets

Bin Cabinets, All-Welded Small Parts Storage from Strong Hold, Jamco & Akro-Mils


Bin cabinets keep loose hardware, fasteners, and small components sorted and within reach, replacing scattered storage that slows teams down and increases picking errors. All-welded construction outperforms bolt-together designs by eliminating loose joints and flex points, keeping cabinets rigid and reliable under daily industrial use.


Selecting the Right Type:

♦ Bin volume, choose Multi Bin or Extra Wide configurations for higher-volume small parts storage, or Slim Line for tight spaces.
♦ Mixed storage, choose a Bin-Drawer combination when both open bins and enclosed drawers are needed in one unit.
♦ Material: choose Akro-Mils plastic frame cabinets for lightweight, corrosion-resistant storage, or steel cabinets for maximum durability.


Where Commonly Used:

♦ Tool Cribs and Machine Shops, bin cabinets keep small parts sorted and accessible.
♦ Maintenance Rooms, countertop and multi-bin configurations bring storage to the point of use.
♦ Warehouses, high-density Storage-Go-Round units maximize small parts storage in a compact footprint.
♦ General Industrial Storage, a range of bin sizes and configurations supports varied hardware and component storage.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is a bin cabinet?

A bin cabinet combines an enclosed steel cabinet with plastic bins mounted inside, so small parts stay sorted into individual compartments behind a lockable door rather than sitting exposed on open shelving. Configurations range from all-bin interiors to combinations that add shelves or enclosed drawers alongside the bins. CustomMHS carries bin cabinets from Strong Hold, Jamco, and Akro-Mils, backed by each manufacturer's warranty.

How is a bin cabinet different from open bin shelving?

The bins themselves work the same way, holding sorted small parts in labeled positions. What changes is the enclosure. A cabinet door keeps shop dust and debris off stored hardware, controls access to items you do not want walking off, and gives the storage area a cleaner face than an open bin rack. The tradeoff is speed, since opening a door adds a step that open shelving does not require.

What configurations are available?

Several layouts cover different mixes of inventory. All-bin interiors devote the full cabinet to bin storage, some in two bin sizes. Combination models pair open bins with four, seven, or nine enclosed drawers. Others add half-width and full shelves alongside bins for items that do not fit a bin at all. Footprints range from slim line units for tight spaces up to extra wide and king size cabinets for higher-volume storage.

Why do some models put bins inside the doors?

Mounting bins on the inside of the cabinet doors uses space that would otherwise be empty when the door swings open, which raises the number of separate part locations without making the cabinet any larger. Strong Hold's 4-shelf bin cabinets use this approach. It works well for smaller, frequently used hardware that benefits from being at eye level and immediately visible the moment the door opens.

How do bin cabinets help your facility?

Sorted, labeled bins cut the time workers spend searching for hardware, and enclosing them addresses the two problems open bin storage creates: dust settling into parts and items disappearing from shared areas. Lockable construction matters most in maintenance departments and shared shops where several crews draw from the same supply. Configurations that combine bins with drawers or shelves also let one cabinet hold a mixed inventory, so hand tools, fasteners, and larger spares live together at the point of use rather than in three separate storage systems across the room. For rotating access in a small footprint, the Akro-Mils Storage-Go-Round provides 360-degree reach at a bench position.
