Industrial drawer units: the 3 “must have” features

Written by Lino Di Betta | 15 May 2023

There are three features every industrial drawer unit must have and they concern safety, foremost, and efficiency. Let's take a closer look and find out what is special about DEA industrial drawer units.

Industry means the processing and assembly of large quantities of heavy materials, often in difficult conditions. Every element of the work environment, from the equipment to the fittings of the individual workstations, must contribute to the creation of an impeccable product, increase production efficiency, streamline processes and, at the same time, guarantee employee safety.

The same applies to industrial drawer units; the most popular elements used to store and organise materials and tools. Let's see how they should be.

Guides, drawers and capacity

The essential functions of an industrial drawer unit can be summarized as follows:

  1. high storage capacity, to store even the most bulky parts or tools;
  2. guides with higher load-bearing capacities, i.e. each capable of supporting from 70 kg up to 400 kg;
  3. anti-tipping system, i.e. the safety system by which, when one drawer is opened, the others are automatically blocked;
  4. in addition, "soft" drawer closing, which prevents slamming and causing dangerously abrupt movements.

DEA industrial drawer units have all 3 +1 features, but there's more.

DEA drawer units: variety and modularity

In addition to the capacity, the over-sized guides, the anti-tipping system and the soft-close closure system, DEA industrial drawer units add something new to the market.

Materials

First of all, the quality of the materials: our drawer units are made of fully welded sheet metal, with stainless steel finishes, rounded edges, extruded aluminium handles and epoxy powder painted surfaces.

Variety

We offer a rich variety of models: our drawer units are available in different widths and heights (up to 1.5 m), from 3 to 12 drawers mounted on HD DEAmotion guides and equipped with a lock (key, code or badge).

Modularity

Our units are also modular, which allows the creation of a tailor-made workstation taking advantage of all the available space, rearrangement it at will, expansion at any time, based on new needs that arise.
