Utility companies, power plants, and maintenance facilities are filled with nuts, bolts, and other small parts that are easily misplaced. The disorganization of these parts can lead to wasted time and a frustrated team. That’s why an organized storage system isn’t just helpful, it’s essential. Heavy duty bolt bins are a simple, yet powerful solution. Whether it be custom, large compartment steel bins or small, pigeonhole bolt bins units, these storage systems are great for organizing hardware of all sizes.

                A bolt bin is a heavy-duty storage system that offers multiple compartments to organize items like fasteners, nuts, and bolts. Bolt storage bins can come in a variety of options, from having drawers that are removable from the shelves to an all-welded design with customizable front lips. Stackable bolt bins have anti-slide locks to keep things in place, and metal bolt bins have mounting tabs on each side to securely hold items.

                Since each compartment can be labelled, it makes it easy to find what you’re looking for and makes it fast to unload and sort new inventory when it arrives.

If all your small parts have their own specific space, it becomes quicker to place items where they belong. This also reduces the amount of clutter in your workspace as all your parts will have a place in this bolt bin organizer.

                Another great feature of bolt bins is their ability to be customized. This makes it extremely simple to integrate a bolt bin into your current setup or new parts crib design. The size of the unit can be specialized to the space available. From there, bin dimensions can be determined based on inventory. We fabricate bins with compartments as large as 36”w x 36”h down to as small as 3”w x 3”h. Even better, these bolt bins can be customized with the color of your choice, matching your company or department colors. These bolt bins can also be manufactured with a forklift channel base so that they can easily be moved around as your space evolves.

                Bolt bins are made to last. When items are stored in the different compartments, no sagging or warping will occur, ensuring a sturdy structure to make sure that your items are stored safely.

                Bolt bins support the daily operations of many different maintenance facilities. The organization these bolt bins provide helps to prevent job delays in making sure you can get your equipment back up and running in a timely manner. Even one item that is not in its place can cause delays, so it’s important that everything has a storage space. By knowing where everything is, there are no job interruptions caused by missing items.

                When everything has a place, departments have better inventory control. It helps to keep the business running smoother when the team is aware of what parts are on hand, what’s running low, and what needs to be replaced.

                By having these bolt bins, floor clutter is reduced. When everything has a space, this encourages a clean workstation, helping the team to be more organized and efficient in their work.

                To start your bolt bin journey off, it’s important to assess your needs. How much inventory do you already have? How much do you expect to have over time? This will help you to determine the size of the bin needed. From there, our team can advise on the dimensions of the bin to best integrate into your space.
