Our heavy duty workshop benches are designed to meet a wide variety of situations and manufactured to withstand the toughest conditions.
Even though it might not be the most important thing in the busy environment of a workshop, manufacturing and mining site, improper tool storage can have some very painful outcomes. We’ll explore the potential drawbacks of ignoring tool storage and how it may simultaneously impact your productivity, safety, and financial situation.
Ineffective tool storage creates clutter, which brings with it a number of dangers. Inadequately stored tools that are dispersed around work areas can cause trips, falls, and slides. Poorly stored tools represent a great risk to safety. Sharp instruments, left with their edges unprotected, can cause accidents very easily. The leads and extension cords of power tools are another great danger. When left out, you can easily create tripping hazards. The cost of replacing tools that are lost or damaged from lack of proper storage adds up over time, chipping away at profits and chewing through budgets. Incorrectly storing tools can drastically affect the lifespan of a variety of expensive equipment.
There are some typical mistakes that companies make when storing tools in a workshop that can have an impact on productivity, safety, and efficiency. Poor organisation of tools and materials is a major reason many workshops do not function optimally. In many shops, there is no specific plan for where tools are stored or made available for use. Instead, tools are left haphazardly on shelves or tool cabinets.
Another error is selecting the wrong type of storage. Perhaps the workshop settles on an unsuitable storage system that wasn’t originally intended for tools, like generic shelving or bins. These options could be lacking in durability, security or ability to be customised to a tool’s needs. This leads to an increase in tool damage or loss, expensive tool replacement and downtime. Neglecting regular maintenance and cleaning of spaces for tool storage is another common mistake. Namely, a workshop may fail to clean regularly and maintain the order of storage spaces. This can lead to accumulation of debris and hazards that have been known to harm both tools through dust accumulation and by causing mishandling or neglect.
While all high-quality, purpose-built tool storage solutions may require some internal adjustments, it is also a more cost-effective investment given the protection it provides to tools, reductions in tool loss and downtime.
