Equipment, spare parts, tools and more are stored in mechanical workshop warehouses every day but a method must be used to store them so you can find them when needed without breaking them. Here are some helpful tips on how to achieve well-organised, functional workshop storage systems that make a difference.
You only need a few shelves now, but who knows what tomorrow may bring! Since your needs change over time, choose workshop storage systems that are modular and let you easily add compartments and shelves when you need more space to store all your equipment. Furthermore, to be sure you best exploit your space, let an expert help you, like a DEA consultant, who knows how to design your warehouse with custom workshop storage systems.
Not all tools and spare parts are the same size. When you purchase tool cabinets or drawers, make sure you include both large and small shelves, but also deep and narrow compartments so that everything is stored in its place in your workshop storage system and parts are not haphazardly stacked around.
You can better organise your warehouse with colours, for example, choosing blue workshop storage systems for spare parts and red systems for equipment. This way you can quickly find what you need without wasting precious time digging through boxes and pallets in your workshop.
Another tip: If you're a tyre specialist, you could choose a specific colour for storage systems for your customers' tyres. This way they'll be easy to find and you won't go crazy when you have to change the tyres in the fall or spring.
Who said that a warehouse should only be used for big equipment? Include drawers in your workshop storage system and exploit space to store smaller tools and, why not, file folders and documents in a more orderly manner.
