Storage cabinets showed up...

[GeorgiaHybrid]

Well, it took a few days for the trucking company to find rural Georgia but the 18 wheeler showed up today and off loaded the new cabinets. The three of them had a 1236 pound shipping weight but once they were off the pallet, they only weighed 362 pounds each....

Welded from 14 gauge plate and 36" wide x 24" deep x 78" high, they have a 1000 pounds per shelf capacity and should work OK for almost anything I want to add to them.

Rough setup on the shelves

Best of all, Proudly made in the USA and cheap for what you get. They might not be the prettiest cabinets out there but they should work well for I have in mind.

Now to make 12 foot plates to weld to the bases and then bolt some heavy duty casters to them.

Those look nice! For me I would forgo the casters and just make sure that I extended the feet enough so I could get a pallet truck under them to move them for quick and efficient repositioning. Unless your going to move them all the time the casters will be a pain and raise them up a ton, ++ cost a bunch for hd models that are large enough to not get hung up on a mouse turd.

A thousand pounds per shelf?! What are you going to be storing on these? They look great, even if they are overkill for anything I would need.

FYI, global industrial is based out of Buford, Ga. and I've actually gone there previously to save on shipping costs.

Great looking cabinets!!!

These are dropped shipped out of Illinois (made by Jamco). If they were in Buford, I would have been tempted to pick them up myself.

I really like those. Be sure to post them up after you get them in place.

I don't know if I asked you before, but how did all of the cleanup stuff go after the tornado or hurricane damaged everything from I believe last year? I remember that you were awful busy at helping out

Kevin,

We are still cleaning up after the tornado's (and will be for a while). My subdivision was hit hard enough that I am in the process of buying a Bobcat T250 with a grapple that I will use to clean up some of the other lots for people here. Doing that will make us look better and start to bring our property values back (I hope). All they need to do is ask, pay for the diesel fuel and cough up about 5 or 6 bucks an hour to help out on maintenance costs. I don't think they will get a better deal.

We also have a 290 LinkBelt excavator running in the steeper areas but that one costs a little more..). I hope that by doing this, the property owners will get on board and finish cleaning up the mess we have by filling in holes, planting trees and grass and getting some pride back into owning a home here.

Thats some pretty good looking storage cabinets! Don´t forget to show some pics when they´re in position and loaded with whatever you´re going to store in them.
Good luck with tidying up after the tornado.

I second that emotion....

While I like casters on everything, that isn't always possible. If a pallet jack will go underneath them, I would go that route. I bought a pallet jack after I got my waste oil heater and it proved invaluable to move the fully assembled fuel tank/heater in place and also to move workbenches out of the way during the installation. Since then I have found quite a bit of other uses for it.

I have to ask about the price per cabinet, they are beautiful and I am jealous!

 

[Steevo]

Those are some mighty nice cabinets.
More than heavy duty, for sure.

 

[Jack Olsen]

They look like great cabinets!

"The 14 Gauge Garage"?

But seriously, congratulations. They looks really nice and will last a lifetime.

I've got those in my Global Industrial shopping list! Seem like a good deal. I have some wall mount cabinets on my list too, but I haven't ordered anything yet. Shipping to me is a killer on these, but they look great. I keep striking out on CL, been looking for a while for something local, but I'll probably end up getting these in the near future.
