Step 2: Drawer Selection (see the bottom of Page for Chart and Pricing)

Choose the drawers you want to fill the cabinet. Note that the total height of the drawers must equal the total height of the cabinet.

• To determine which drawers are needed to store your products, begin by defining the products and arranging them according to height.

• Then, measure the heights of the products to be stored which will reveal the drawer heights needed. Repeat this step for each product group to arrive at the total number and heights of modular drawers needed.

• Add for future expansion simply by multiplying the total square footage for any product (height) grouping by the percent of increase anticipated.

• Based on your total drawer requirements and your initial cabinet selection(s) from Step 1 you can now verify your cabinet choices, making sure that the cabinets selected will accomodate the drawers required simply by adding up the catalog numbers of the drawers to equal the catalog number of the cabinet. For example:

Six NO. 240-40 Drawers = 240

Four NO. 240-50 Drawers = 200

Four NO. 240-60 Drawers = 240

Drawers Total = 680      Cabinet needed NO. 240-680

• When ordering, remember that drawers will be assembled into each cabinet for shipment. So, to receive the example above you would order one NO. 240-680 cabinet with 14 drawers in sequence top to bottom: six NO. 240-40, four NO. 240-50 and four NO. 240-60
• Be sure to consider ergonomic factors for storage and retrieval: Fast-moving, high activity items are stored together with fast movers located in front (prime pick areas) for easy selection. Prime pick areas are generally located just below waist-level and above for quick visual and physical access. Slower moving items can be stored in lower drawers.

• Based upon your normal inventory levels, determine the total square footage (area) needed for each product group according to drawer heights.

• Take the square foootage arrived at above for each drawer height and divide that number by:

           4.4 (for drawers in 30"W cabinets)

           3.1 (for drawers in 23"W cabinets)

           6.9 (for drawers in 45"W cabinets)

           9.5 (for drawers in 60"W cabinets)

EXAMPLE: Assuming a 30"W cabinet and a product group requiring 21 square feet: 21÷ 4.4 = 4.77 rounded to the next whole number (5) reveals five drawers of that height are needed for this product group.
