Repair Garages and Mobile Storage
Quite a few garages that carry out repairs on cars or motorbikes will make use of various mobile storage racks. Garage storage areas are usually locked up at night and it is more convenient to be able to simply wheel the rack holding the various tools and other equipment needed through the course of a day, into the work area.
During the working day, tools and equipment can be wheeled in one go to any area of the garage where they might be needed. There are many different types of racks available, but in a garage environment, which will be busy and physically demanding, the storage racks must fulfil several essential criteria to comply with health and safety regulations, these include;
• Must be constructed from hard-wearing materials such as steel
• Must have a secure locking system for its wheels when not being moved around the garage
• The storage rack that has been bought must be suitable for the task it is meant to perform
• The rack should be well constructed. A cheaply made rack is not necessarily of poor quality but if it has a flaw then this might not become apparent until an accident occurs
Archive racks are also found to be quite useful for the storage of small items such as bolts, nuts and screws. Clipboards and box files may also be kept here in easy reach so that a mechanic can quickly consult a worksheet if he needs to do so in order to check a repair job or MOT test requirement.
