Cabinets, Drawers and Shelving for Storeroom Build-Out
Shelving, cabinets and modular drawers are the fixed storage infrastructure of a storeroom. Wire shelving carries the bulk of open par stock, cabinets secure controlled and higher-value items, and modular drawer systems organize small parts at density. This page covers the storage infrastructure formats stocked for central supply, laboratory and pharmacy storerooms.
Shelving and Cabinet Types Stocked
- Wire shelving units - Open wire-deck shelving in stationary and mobile builds, sold as starter units with add-on units to extend a run. Metro is the widely stocked line, in chrome, epoxy-coated and stainless finishes.
- Solid-shelf units - Solid-deck shelving where small items or liquids need a closed surface rather than open wire.
- Storage cabinets - Lockable steel cabinets with adjustable shelves for securing controlled supply, tools and higher-value stock.
- Modular drawer cabinets - Drawer systems with adjustable dividers that organize small parts at high density in a small footprint, from the Akro-Mils and Global Industrial lines.
- Shelving accessories - Shelf dividers, ledges, casters for mobile conversion, and label holders that adapt a shelving run to the stock it carries.
Shelving Formats and Finishes
| Format | Finish or Build | Representative Line | Typical Use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wire shelving, stationary | Chrome, epoxy, stainless | Metro | Open par stock storage |
| Wire shelving, mobile | Caster-mounted | Metro | Reconfigurable storeroom |
| Storage cabinet | Lockable steel | Global Industrial | Secured supply |
| Modular drawer cabinet | Adjustable dividers | Akro-Mils | Small-parts density |
Wire Shelving Finishes
Wire shelving is stocked in several finishes suited to different storeroom environments. Chrome is the general storeroom finish, epoxy-coated shelving resists corrosion in wash-down and cooler areas, and stainless is stocked for cleanroom-adjacent and sterile-processing storerooms where cleaning is frequent. Open wire decks are common in healthcare storerooms because they improve airflow and visibility and suit many facility infection-control layout guidelines. Shelving is sold as starter and add-on units so a run extends without buying complete units each time.
Shelving and cabinets are fixed infrastructure ordered on renovation and expansion cycles, and standardizing on one shelving system keeps starter and add-on units, dividers and casters compatible as the storeroom grows. Sourcing the shelving line and its accessories from one wholesale account holds that compatibility over multiple build phases. Order at the best Wholesale Prices with MAP Medical.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between wire shelving and solid shelving?
Wire shelving has an open wire deck that improves airflow and visibility and sheds dust, which is why it is the standard storeroom shelving in healthcare facilities. Solid shelving has a closed deck for small items or liquids that would fall through or tip on wire. Facilities commonly run wire shelving for the bulk of par stock and add solid shelves or liners where needed.
What wire shelving finishes are stocked?
Wire shelving is stocked in chrome for general storeroom use, epoxy-coated for wash-down and cooler areas where corrosion resistance matters, and stainless steel for cleanroom-adjacent and sterile-processing storerooms with frequent cleaning. Metro is the widely stocked line across all three finishes, in stationary and mobile builds with matching add-on units.
Are add-on units available to extend a shelving run?
Yes. Wire shelving is sold as starter units and add-on units, where an add-on shares posts with the adjacent starter to extend a continuous run for less than buying complete units. Matching the add-on to the same shelving line and finish keeps posts and connectors compatible. Contact the team for the starter and add-on configuration by size.
Can facilities order shelving and cabinets in bulk?
Yes. Wire and solid shelving, storage cabinets and modular drawer systems are stocked in case and pallet quantities for hospitals, surgery centers, long-term care facilities, laboratories and licensed distributors. Standing order programs are available for standardized shelving units used across repeating storeroom builds. Contact the procurement team for tiered case pricing.
What shelving should be in a storeroom formulary?
A storeroom formulary typically standardizes on one wire shelving line and finish in a common unit size, matching add-on units, one lockable cabinet for secured stock, and a modular drawer cabinet for small parts, plus dividers and casters for mobile conversion. Standardizing keeps components interchangeable across builds. MAP Medical builds consolidated shelving packages matched to storeroom size - contact the team for an assessment.
