Countless people across a great variety of industries and fields can testify that their workplaces are home to an enormous amount of hustle, bustle and action. In particular, certain workspaces — like labs, industrial zones, medical offices and similar places — have peculiar needs which can only be met by a specially designed class of equipment. Such needs can be as variegated as the tools that are built to meet them. But again and again, the constant call for storage space seems to stand out from the pack.
It’s easy to see why. Just consider the vast array of chemicals stocked at a typical research lab or the mountains of patient files that a doctor’s office or a hospital need to have on hand just to conduct everyday business — to give only two examples. Chances are, wherever you work, there’s a tremendous amount of important stuff that either needs to be kept under lock and key when not in use or at least needs to be neatly filed away somewhere so as not to clutter up the area.
Thankfully, there’s a simple solution to this complex problem. A humble set of commercial cabinets and counters can go a long way. Almost no matter what you need stored away or how you need it to be stored, there’s some type of casework that is perfect for your needs.
RDM Industrial Products has proudly built factory-direct and quality-designed industrial furniture of all kinds up to the highest level for more than four decades — though our cabinets and counters have also been particular favorites among our customers.
Below, we’re going to give you a quick explanation of some of the benefits of having industrial cabinets around in your workplace. Then, we’ll launch straight into telling you all about some of the many types and styles of commercial, industrial and laboratory cabinets and counters that we can create for you and what their most important features are.
All in all, your workplace will begetter equipped to handle everyday needs and hum along smoothly as each day surges on.
What Having Quality Cabinets And Counters Can Do For Your Work Environment
Let’s jump straight to brass tacks. Here are some ways that our cabinets and counters can make where you work into a better place:
-
Storage:
Storage is a cabinet’s primary function. While that’s fairly obvious, it still bears some emphasis. Do you regularly work in a lab with hazardous chemicals? Some stainless steel, fireproof and chemical-resistant laboratory cabinets may be just what the doctor ordered. You can potentially use them to lock away chemicals any other kind of critical tools as well — a consideration that’s important not just for labs but for factories and industrial workplaces in particular. Where would you keep your files without a filing cabinet? Lockers are a must. Especially if you occasionally use things like lab coats, safety suits, gas masks and face shields at work. With the right cabinets, you can store virtually anything.
-
Convenience:
Closely related to their storage function is the convenience that good casework provides. Once your papers are neatly organized in a cabinet, you’ll have them at your fingertips at all times. If you’re a lab researcher who needs various substances near at hand as you work, we make combination cabinets and counters. You can smoothly integrate storage right into your workstation. If you need anything from gloves and goggles to a power say, stick it in a cabinet and you’ll always know where it is.
-
Safety:
Places like labs and factories regularly handle many dangerous chemicals and tools. If a particularly volatile or flammable substance is safely locked away in a sturdy cabinet, this sharply minimizes the probability of hazardous lab accidents happening. The same might be said for things like power tools. You can also use commercial cabinets to store safety equipment.
-
Cost Savings:
Your workplace would be a mess without convenient places to store things. That fact alone means that cabinets will save you significant time. Instead of looking for things, you can focus on work. Beyond this, RDM’s industrial cabinets are durable enough to withstand many years of wear, tear, impact and chemical damage. Since anything can happen at work, you’ll definitely want features like this. They not only contribute to keeping people safe, but mean significant long-term savings on replacement costs.
-
Customization:
When you order from RDM, we strive to put as much power a possible into your hands. A glance at some of the different types of cabinets we make reveals a wide array of options. But because everything from us is manufacturer-direct, we can also custom-build units for you with special features. If you need cabinets made of a particular material, if you need them to be of a particular size of shape or anything else, just let us know and we’ll customize your units for you.
What Types of Cabinets Do We Make?
RDM manufactures many different types of cabinets. But here is a rundown of some of the basic styles so that you have an idea of what we can do for you:
-
Standard Cabinets:
These are your simple, standard-style cabinets which you can attach either to your wall overhead or lower down by the floor. Cabinet doors swing open, you can load them up with whatever you want.
-
Cabinets Attached to Work Counters:
The benefits of this particular type of arrangement have already been discussed. We can build workstations with either a row of floor-level cabinets built right in or with an overhead set of cabinets attached. You thus won’t even have to leave your workbench to grab certain critical items.
-
Lockers:
Lockers are almost always used to store clothes. If workers need to suit up in a special way for work, whether for their protection or for some other reason, having some lockers around where they can keep their personal equipment is an especially good idea.
-
PCB Cabinets:
PCB or printed circuit board cabinets are designed to be both insulated against electricity and non-flammable. For additional protection against static electricity, you can also have the unit coated with ESD. The option to place these cabinets on wheels is also available. These units are useful for storing and transporting sensitive and volatile compounds.
-
Tall Cabinets:
For your heavy-duty storage needs, check out our tall cabinets. Each of these units is seven feet tall. They’re made of metal, contains many shelves and can be outfitted with either sliding or swinging doors.
One final note: We make our cabinets mainly out of either wood or stainless steel. We can add flame-resistant or chemical-resistant coating to our stainless steel cabinets if you require. Options to add epoxy resin, Corian and Trespa are available for some wooden models as well.
