Pull-Out Cabinets | High Density Storage for Tight Spaces
Double your storage capacity without expanding your footprint. Pull-out cabinets maximize tight areas with sliding access, modular interiors, and space-saving design. These systems are perfect for archives, supply rooms, and office environments where every square foot counts.
What Are Pull-Out Cabinets?
Pull-out cabinet systems transform static storage into high-density solutions by eliminating the need for interior aisles. Each unit slides out independently to provide fast access to files, supplies, or equipment, then retracts neatly to conserve space.
Without fixed rails, these cabinets install easily on hard surfaces or carpeted floors. Their compact footprint and high lineal storage capacity make them ideal for offices, healthcare, archival, and back-of-house operations.
Features include:
- Sliding cabinet access with no aisle required
- Compatible with carpet, tile, or concrete floors
- Supports active records, media, or supply storage
- 714 LFI vs. 192 LFI in traditional lateral files
- Reconfigurable to meet evolving layout needs
Designed for Tight Spaces, Alcoves & Corners
Conventional shelving systems often waste space in corners or narrow rooms. Pull-out cabinets are built for unconventional layouts, sliding laterally between wall columns or into alcoves without requiring side clearance.
These systems install flush against existing walls and integrate seamlessly into workspaces. With no fixed rails, the units can be repositioned or expanded as needs change, making them ideal for compact offices, clinics, or shared file rooms.
Features Include:
- Ideal for wall columns, alcoves, and corner spaces
- Slides out with minimal clearance required
- No interior aisle needed to access items
- Can be relocated without renovation
- Available in multiple widths and finishes
Modular Interiors for Drawers, Bins & Media
Pull-out cabinet interiors are highly customizable. Units can be equipped with shelving, drawers, small media bins, or even specialized inserts like gun racks. This modular flexibility makes them suitable for everything from healthcare to law enforcement to archival institutions.
Shelves adjust easily to accommodate different file sizes or equipment. Options like keyed locks, dividers, and end panels add both function and security, delivering a storage system tailored to your workflow.
Features Include:- Modular options: shelves, drawers, bins, or racks
