Bin Organizer Racks, Made to Drawing

Bin organizer racks hold small parts in bins and drawers at the point of use, so fasteners and components are picked from a labelled position instead of a box on the floor.

Direct answer: Balford builds bin organizer racks from cold-rolled steel sheet: a stamped and bent frame, powder coated, in bench-top and free-standing versions, sized to the bins and drawers in use.

What we manufacture

The rack is sized to the bin or drawer range, not to a fixed standard.

  • Stamped and bent steel sheet frame
  • Bench-top or free-standing
  • Sized to the bins and drawers in use
  • Powder-coated finish
  • Labelled picking positions

Racks of this kind are bought to stop parts being lost rather than to carry weight, so the bin range and the number of picking positions are the real specification.

Where bin organizer racks are used

  • Assembly benches
  • Stores and picking
  • Maintenance areas
  • Small hardware and fasteners

What to send with an enquiry

  • Product type and a photograph, drawing or sample
  • Overall length, width and height
  • Working load and how the load is distributed
  • Material and surface finish
  • Wheel or castor requirement
  • Quantity, packaging and destination

If any of these are still open, say so at enquiry stage — the review is where they get settled, and it is cheaper than discovering them after the first article.

Materials and finish

MaterialWhere it is usedFinish
Carbon steelThe default for carts, trolleys and racks in dry workshopsPowder coating, or painted to a colour
Galvanized steelPallets, trays and storage in humid or outdoor conditionsHot-dip galvanized by an audited partner
Stainless steelWet, washdown or corrosive environments, subject to grade reviewBrushed or passivated

Powder coating, galvanizing and plating are bulk finishing operations carried out by audited partner companies and declared as such on the quotation. Cutting, forming, welding and assembly run in Balford's own plant.

How it is made

Frames are cut, formed, welded and assembled in the same plant, so the blank size, the bend sequence and the weld fixturing are planned together. Where the product needs its own tooling, it is designed and built by Balford's own tool room.

Bin Organizer Racks FAQ

Can the rack be made to take our bins?

Yes. Send the bin or drawer dimensions and the number of positions and the frame is built to suit them, rather than trying to fit bins into a rack designed round something else.

Can the product be customised?

Yes. Dimensions, load capacity, deck or shelf arrangement, wheel and castor set, guardrails, handle position, colour and finish can all be changed, as long as the change is on the drawing.

What is the difference between a quotation and a drawing review?

The drawing review is where the load, the frame section, the wheel set and the finish are settled and any risk is flagged; the quotation prices that agreed design, with the capacity of the design we build stated on it.
