Storage Bins | Peter Samms Equipment

Storage Bins

Storage bins, often known as linbins or parts bins, are the simple but essential answer to keeping small parts, components and consumables tidy, visible and easy to find. In any stores, workshop, production line or trade counter, the difference between an efficient operation and a chaotic one often comes down to how well the small items are organised, and a well planned bin storage system pays for itself many times over in time saved and stock controlled.

Keep small parts tidy, visible and easy to find, the foundation of good stock control.

Keep small parts under control

Open fronted storage bins allow staff to see at a glance what is in stock and to pick parts quickly without rummaging. Available in a wide range of sizes and colours, bins can be colour coded by product type, supplier or department, and fitted with label holders so that every item has a clearly identified home. Dividers within the larger bins allow several different parts to be separated within a single container.

Bins can be supplied loose, but they are at their most effective when combined with a proper storage structure. We offer freestanding louvred panels, wall mounted louvred panels, bin trolleys for mobile storage, and floor standing bin units, as well as steel shelving and small parts cabinets fitted out with bins. This allows a complete small parts store to be built up to suit the exact number and size of items you handle.

Part of a complete stores solution

For larger requirements, storage bins integrate neatly into euro shelving, longspan shelving and multi-tier installations, so that small hand picked items can be stored alongside larger boxed goods within the same scheme. Heavy duty plastic and steel drawer cabinets are also available where parts need to be enclosed, kept clean or secured. The result is a stores layout where everything has its place and stock levels can be seen and managed at a glance.

We will help you select the right combination of bins, panels, shelving and cabinets to suit your parts, your space and your budget, and we can supply anything from a handful of bins to a complete fitted stores. Whatever the scale, you receive the same friendly, knowledgeable service.

Better stock control

Good small parts storage is about far more than tidiness, it is the foundation of effective stock control. When every component has a clearly labelled home, staff spend less time searching, reordering becomes simpler and more accurate, and costly stock outs and over ordering are far less likely. A well planned bin system makes it easy to operate visual minimum and maximum levels, so anyone can see at a glance when a part needs replenishing.
