Anyone using bin cabinets?

[CobraJake]

Looking to so some organization in my garage and came across the industrial plastic bin cabinets. Was looking at the Global Industrial and the ones on Uline.com. Anyone have experience with either one?

I have used them when setting up a warehouse at work. They are pretty good for small and medium parts if you have a lot to store. They do take up a lot of floor space though.

As an alternative to cabinets, you can buy the louvered panels to wall mount. I am using that

Thats what my bench looks like Doug. Plastic bins and covered in parts! lol Trying to simplify things and make them easier to get plus more storage.

ALL: check out the metal cabinet thread in vintage tools section and you might see something to use you hadn't considered yet.

Not my first choice, but, it cost me $20 on Craigslist. I would like to mount the louvered panels in a cabinet.

I found this, it's built on a steel A frame with bins on both sides and has casters. The thing I like the best is that when closed the bins tops are covered so stuff doesn't get dirty over time. Also, the way the bins pivot when loaded they want to close again....

Ive seen this also and it was my first thought also bc its on wheels.

floor space is a precious commodity in my garage. I had looked into those, but I didnt like the price. I found a few used filing cabinets with 6 and 8" deep drawers. I bought a mixture of electrical boxes (single gang, double gang, etc..) and used those for my smaller hardware. I managed to pickup 500 peanut butter jars (rejects) for a penny a piece.

I laid an old countertop across my filing cabinets and now have a great workbench with all of my hardware organized in the drawers below. I think I have $200 into it
