How to Choose The Best Storage Equipment
3rd October, 2022 | by support.gocreativeFinding the right storage equipment for your particular worksite isn’t always as simple as you might think. At Materials Handling, we provide numerous solutions for material storage, so it can be overwhelming to determine which is right for you.
That’s why we’re here to help you choose the best storage equipment.
How to choose the best storage equipment
\
What is storage equipment?
Storage equipment can include cabinets, lockers or any other storing solution that holds materials or items over a period of time. There can be many uses and applications of storage equipment and to one extent or another all industries and companies will require some level of storage solution to suit their needs.
The purpose of storage equipment
There can be many benefits to having a robust industrial storage solution. For starters, it ensures your products and items are protected, secure and safe. Additionally, it provides for better organisation and accessibility of tools and equipment which translates into increased efficiency and productivity. Last but not least, it ensures that your worksite, workshop or floor space is kept as clean and usable as possible.
What to consider when choosing storage equipment
When you’re looking for the right storage equipment to suit your needs, take the following factors into consideration.
1. Size and space
Where is the storage cabinet going? How much/many items are you planning on storing inside? What sort of shaped storage system do you need to fit into the desired area?
2. Safety and surveillance
Many storage cabinets come with locks and other safety features to ensure the items inside are secure. Think about what sort of products or materials you are storing and what level of security they require.
3. Accessibility and convenience
The level of accessibility and convenience of access will help narrow down the options to storage solutions that can either quickly open or provide for longer term storage with more safety features.
4. Work Environment
If the storage safe is likely to be exposed to the elements or other factors, you’ll want to prioritse heavy duty and durable storage solutions over less robust options.
5. Appearance
Of course, this factor is mostly subjective and up to your personal preferences. Nonetheless, choosing the right storage facility that suits the rest of your workspace will make for more aesthetic appeal in general.
Choosing proper storage equipment
Choosing proper storage equipment is vital to ensure your items are provided with the right level of safety and security from damage, theft or loss.
Every storage solution, whether it’s a cabinet or locker, offers different benefits and organisation arrangements. By spending the time and effort considering how you plan on using it and what you plan on storing inside it, you’ll find you and your entire team enjoying improved operational efficiency and productivity for a long time to come.
Not to mention the fact that raw or hazardous materials need to be stored in a regulation-compliant and heavy duty system. The last thing you want is damage or injury to property or workers.
Types of storage equipment
Flammable liquid safety cabinets
Some storage solutions are designed for particular uses, such as the flammable liquid safety cabinets. Manufactured in line with Australia regulations, they’re built for purpose and are perfect for housing flammable or otherwise dangerous goods. Special safety features are included as well such as vents with flash arresters or even self-closing doors on certain models.
Highly resistant cabinets
It’s not just flame and fire that you might be contending with. Even if the material being stored inside isn’t dangerous in and of itself, your cabinet or storage solution could be exposed to damage externally. Whether it’s fire, extreme temperatures, moisture (causing rust) or impacts from passing workers, machinery or vehicles, highly resistant cabinets will provide equal parts peace of mind as well as good protection.
Compartment cabinets
Keeping your equipment organised in storage is practical for many reasons. You’ll be able to fit more items into less space; you’ll be able to find and access more items quicker; and it will look professional and neat. Compartment cabinets are excellent storage equipment solutions for exactly that reason. Depending on the nature of the items you’re planning on storing, you can find and choose a style of compartments that works for you.
Adjustable and heavy duty
If you need to store big, heavy, bulky or oddly shaped items, an adjustable and heavy duty storage cabinet is the way to go. These types of cabinets and lockers often feature removable shelving or customisable designs so that it can work to meet your needs and not the other way round. Remember to check that the storage facility you’re considering has a load bearing capacity that suits your equipment.
Internal Safety Cabinets
Internal safety cabinets can be used for any number of items. Corrosive or otherwise harmful materials can be kept secure and out of the wrong hands, and personnel items can be stored out of sight and reach of would-be thieves or no-gooders.

Floor Rails Bump Rail
3rd November, 2021 | by materialshandlingBump Rail is a dual-purpose railing that may be utilised as an asset protection barrier. Installed flat on walls or on the ground, the rail absorbs impacts completely, offering maximum resistance and protection. With a reinforced face, the guard is extremely useful across workplaces and provides the best protection in any area with frequent traffic.
When installed flat, the Bump Rail acts as a wall bumper to protect forklifts, walls and products from collisions. If used curved side up, it acts as a vehicle or machinery wheel stop. This versatility allows the rail to be used in multiple ways. This guarding solution reduces costs that result from damage or repairs.
Made from high-strength aluminium, Bump Rail weighs less than half of an equivalent steel profile (per linear metre). It’s easy to maintain, extremely strong, and features a thick latticed construction.

Giving the gift of Christmas
11th December, 2020 | by materialshandlingMaterials Handling has supported Greenslopes Private Hospital and St Vincent de Paul by donating gift cards as part of the charity’s Christmas Appeal.
By donating to this cause, over 50 families in the Mount Gravatt, Annerley and Holland Park areas will be able to experience the true spirit of this festival season.
A tradition at the hospital for the past 22-years, our loyal partnership has allowed them to continue their work especially during a year that has brought hardship and grief to many. Millions of Australian families spend Christmas in poverty. National President of St Vincent de Paul Society, Claire Victory, spoke about how this year has been particularly tough for Australians due to the pandemic.
“Job losses, business closures and reduced working hours have placed many communities under an increased financial strain,” Ms Victory said.
“The Federal Government has reduced the Coronavirus supplement and it will drop again early next year, plunging many more people into poverty, and other supports such as the moratorium on evictions are also being lifted in some states. Even without border closures and travel restrictions, many people in our community find Christmas to be a particularly lonely time of year due to social isolation.”
Frank Ford (from St Vinnies) and Cath Steward, Chris Went (CEO), Ellie Sacre, Terry McLaren and Grant Eekhoff (from Greenslopes Private Hospital).
Every year, Materials Handling and Australian communities assist the St Vinnies Christmas Appeal by donating to those who have fallen on hard times. Ms Victory said COVID-19 has made it harder for St Vinnies to meet the needs of the people it serves, especially with restrictions and social distancing requirements.
“Belts have tightened around the nation, and our committed volunteers have been prevented from helping because of COVID risks. During the lockdown, many Vinnies shops across Australia had to close or reduce their operations, reducing our ability to generate funds to distribute to people in need,” said Ms Victory.
“This year’s campaign has been launched at the end of a year many would rather forget. But with your help, we will be able to make this festive season that little bit brighter for people in our community who are doing it particularly tough.”
The St Vincent de Paul Society in Australia has over 60,000 members and volunteers who operate in over 1,000 groups located in local communities across the country. With the assistance of Greenslopes Private Hospital, the gift cards donated by Materials Handling will allow families to purchase essential items and food. Donations can help provide families with comfort and security this Christmas.
To donate to the 2020 Vinnies Christmas Appeal, visit their website or call 13 18 12.
