ES5 solutions for workshop storage
At a workshop, having tools, materials, documents, and everything else necessary for daily operations in order and always on hand is essential for optimizing and facilitating the work activities. The hectic nature of the day-to-day work activities, however, often leads us to store materials in bulk, thus resulting in precious time being lost trying to find everything. Here are a few tips and workshop storage solutions to help you find the right system to meet your needs and to always have everything right at your fingertips.
1 - Use cabinets with secure locks for important items
When purchasing a workshop storage system, make sure it has a secure locking system that will allow you to store important documents and tools without the risk of someone gaining unauthorized access and making them disappear. If you make a habit of placing your important items in this storage system, you can rest assured that no one will move them, and you won't have to waste any precious time looking for them.
2 - Choose systems with large storage capacities
Even if smaller workshop storage systems may be cheaper, they can sometimes be insufficient, thus resulting in some tools being organized inside, while others remain scattered around the workshop. Be sure to evaluate the capacities of your storage systems well, and when in doubt, choose ones with greater capacities so that you soon won't regret having purchased systems that are too small for your needs.
3 - Consider the use of custom storage systems

In this manner, you can choose how many compartments you need, whether or not to have sliding doors, with or without handles, ... and will obtain a truly functional workshop storage system that's perfectly suited to your needs.
4 - Opt for scratch-proof and heavy duty systems
Make sure the storage system you choose is scratch-resistant and heavy duty, especially if you work with heavy materials. While your initial investment may be greater, you won't you'll find yourself having to purchase a new storage system in just a few years because your current one is ruined and has to be thrown out.
5 - Customize your storage systems
If you want to make it even easier to find everything within your workshop storage system, customize it. You can use specific colours for each compartment in order locate items more easily (such as red for tools, blue for documents, and green for materials), and can even equip certain compartments with shelves and hangers based on their intended contents. By customizing your storage system, you can obtain a truly functional system, and won't have to waste any time looking for things when you urgently need to find them.
