When it comes to electrics there are many different products of various shapes and sizes. Some of these items can be difficult to store due to their size, which is why you must have a storage solution that suits each product. From pallet racking systems to longspan shelving and small parts storage, it can be difficult to decide which storage solution is right for your products. To make the process easier, below are 5 storage solutions best suited for storing electrical products.

 

Keep reading below to discover more about these storage solutions.

 

Vertical Racking

Conduit pipe can be one of the hardest items to store. When bundled together, the conduit can get quite heavy, not making it an ideal item to have stored against a wall or shelf as the heavy weight can lead to damage. The length and shape of the conduit also does not help. As the pipe is long and round, storing it horizontally is not always the safest option as it can easily roll around.

 

A great solution to help store your conduit pipe is vertical cantilever racking. The racking allows you to store the conduit vertically and prevent it from rolling around. The racking also has arms that divide the rack into separate sections making it easy for you to store your pipe by colour or size for easy locating.

To discover how we helped AWM Shepparton utilise vertical cantilever racking to store their conduit pipe, check out the project.

Longspan

Using longspan shelving can be a great storage option for larger items such as hoses or boxes of products that may have been typically stored on the floor. Using longspan shelving to store these items can allow you to free up valuable floor space, eliminating tripping hazards that can be caused by the hoses. The shelving is an economical storage option that can allow you to ensure all your products are stored categorically, making it easy to locate each item when needed. The shelving has enough space for you to store multiple items of one product, ensuring there is plenty available at any one time.

 

Cantilever Racking

Cantilever racking can be a great option for storing all your long goods, such as cable trays and ducts. The racking allows you to store the items horizontally while giving you easy access to each item. Using cantilever racking also helps to protect the items. As many of these items are long, it can often be hard to find places to store them, meaning that they often end up stored on the ground or against the wall. This will often lead to the products getting damaged as it is easy for them to be bumped into or stood on. Using the cantilever racking places these items in a safer position allowing them to stay protected.

 

Cable Racking

Cable racking is a strong and durable system derived from pallet racking. The racking allows you to store your cables horizontally in reels making it easy to reel and unreel the length you need. The racking provides easy and direct access to your cables, so you’re not struggling to find and unreel the cable you need. Cable racking can store items of varying sizes, meaning you can have both large and small reels on one rack. The levels are interchangeable and can be adjusted to suit the cable that you wish to store.

 

Parts Bins

With there being many small electrical components such as switches, connectors, and adaptors, it can be easy for these items to get lost if they are not stored correctly. A great way to ensure that none of these small items get lost or fall through the cracks is by using parts bins such as storpak bins or parts trays. Storing these items in parts bins can allow you to ensure that all of the same product stays together and there is less chance of them getting mixed up or lost.
