BillZ260 Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 SAM's Club has the steel shelving units you mention Grumpy. $169.00 for a 6' tall unit if i remember. I think it had steel grating for the shelving spances. Looked well made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austenp405 Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 I got a catalog for nothing but shop equipment and tools from Summit with my last order. I haven't had a chance to comb through it, but the prices seemed decent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pop N Wood Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 Going to sound wierd, but go to an Old Navy outlet and look at how they make their display racks. Totally modular galvanized steel units that look indestructible. If you could figure out where they get there stuff that would be a way to go. Or better yet. Hurricane season is coming up, so just wait for the next big one then loot the local Old Navy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumpyvette Posted June 29, 2006 Author Share Posted June 29, 2006 LOOTERS SHOULD BE SHOT!,and left to rot!

skipzoomie Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 Grumpy....Check out your local school surplus warehouse. I've picked up some pretty good stuff at the one here in Orange County. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmanzo57 Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 I've been thinking about shelving/cabinets too. My new shop just passed final inspection yesterday. My problem is, now that the building is up, I am broke. Northern Tool has some nice looking shelving: http://www.northerntool.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/NTESearch2?storeId=6970&N=0&Ntk=P_Brand&Ntt=USP&Nty=1&D=USP&Ntx=mode+matchall&Dx=mode+matchall&cmnosearch=true I've been advised to check metal scrap yards for used pallet racking. Good luck and let us all know what you end up with. Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavyZ Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 Good luck Don & Grumpy. Shelving 'taint too cheep. I found this for cabinets--nice stuff, but quite expensive. Here is a pic and a description: "THIS ULTIMATE GARAGE STORAGE SYSTEM WILL TRANSFORM YOUR FAVORITE ROOM. This Wall Storage Unit is a great way to maximize space in your garage with massive amounts of storage in only 28" of depth! It's the same quality construction as our finest storage cabinets. Pictured above it will allow you to store everything you desire. From pounds of fasteners and tools in the 5' tall Cabinets to gallons of liquids and car parts in the 2 door cabinets featuring pull out shelves. Simply, pull out the flat shelf ,with removable stiffeners, to get to everything! With the stiffener out the shelves feature a small lip to keep items from sliding off. The shelves have a 770 pound capacity and swallow up enormous amounts of things. Nothing gets hidden at the back so you maximize the entire shelf. The shelves are also adjustable to fit your different height requirements. The doors hide all of your bulky items and keep them dust-free while providing a clean look to the garage. The 7 and 11 Drawer Cabinets and 5 Drawer Double-Wide, hold an incredible amount of tools and fasteners. I store extra long clamps, circular saws, and even get to sleep in one in a pinch! Steel rollers, not light-duty ball bearing sliders let the drawers glide silky smooth, even when fully loaded! Ultra-safe, built-in back-of-drawer locking mechanism. Heavy 10 & 12 gauge steel construction supports 440 lbs. each! I designed this Wall Storage Unit to fit in most any garage. You can choose two different size upper cabinets depending on your ceiling height. Specify either an 8 or 9 foot Unit. You'll get everything in the pictured to turn your garage into an instant storage center making your favorite room in the house a pleasure to spend quality time in. Or, mix and match each individual unit to fit your special needs. Cabinets are red with black housing. Swiss design and custom-made for us in the U.S.A. Allow 4-6 weeks for standard delivery." http://www.griotsgarage.com/catalog.jsp?L1=L1_3000&L2=L2_3020&L3=L3_3021&SKU=WS900 The 9' tall unit is about $10,000, but hey, it's nice!

MONGO510 Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 Grumpy, If you dont mind used stuff, look for business liquidation auctions. They will sell their stuff for pennies on the dollar and it is usually good HD stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillZ260 Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 Grumpy, just FYI the Norther Tool shelving that dmanzo57 posted looks exaclty like what SAM's Wholesale has, but their price looks even better, depending on shelving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
