Useful storage and transport solutions for the work environment
In this guide, we explore practical workshop storage ideas – from furniture and workbenches to our wide range of storage containers – and explain how they can help you streamline operations while keeping all areas of your workshop running smoothly.
Workshop furniture storage ideas
Furniture provides the structure to keep your entire workspace functional and improve workshop organisation. From spacious cabinets to bulk storage racking, our range of workshop furniture is designed to support productivity, improve ergonomics and ensure every tool has its place.
Workshop cabinets offer an effective way to store tools in one place. Available in a wide range of sizes and layouts, these cabinets can be tailored to your storage needs thanks to the customisable internal fittings. For added security, we offer models with locking doors, as well as chemical storage cabinets for hazardous materials, helping you meet workplace safety regulations.
Material racking systems also provide high-capacity storage for bulk materials, equipment and boxed goods, making them ideal for workshops that need to store heavier or larger items. By using vertical space efficiently, racking helps keep floors clear and stock organised.
Workbench storage solutions
As the workbench is often the focal point of a workshop, integrated storage solutions will help with organising your tools and equipment and support smoother day-to-day working.
Shallow workbench drawers are ideal for commonly used equipment, allowing items to be stored neatly without taking up valuable worktop space. For smaller components such as fixings and electrical parts, small parts bins can be stacked to keep items separated and within easy reach.
Pegboards and perforated tool panels mounted above a workbench provide visible, at-a-glance storage for frequently used tools. When combined with shelves or wall-mounted bins, they help maximise vertical space and keep the workbench surface clear.
Wall-mounted workshop storage ideas
Using wall-mounted storage solutions are particularly effective in shared or high-traffic environments. By using vertical surfaces, tools and components can be kept organised, visible and easy to access without disrupting movement around the workspace.
Wall-mounted tool cabinets and cupboards offer secure storage for valuable equipment, keeping items protected while still within easy reach of your workbenches.
Combining these with tool panels and small parts bins that can be mounted to workbenches helps create task-focused work areas that support smoother workflows.
Storage boxes for workshop organisation
A well-organised workshop doesn’t just rely on furniture, it also needs the right storage boxes to sort,and transport essential tools, parts and materials. At AJ Products, we offer a wide variety of storage boxes to suit different tasks, helping you create a safer, tidier and more efficient workspace.
For organising small parts
Small parts bins and small parts cabinets make it easy to keep screws, bolts, fittings and other components sorted and within easy reach. Our bins are designed to sit on shelves or hang on louvre panels, making them ideal for picking stations and assembly lines.
Transportable storage boxes
Euro boxes are stackable, impact-resistant and compatible with standard shelving and handling systems, making them a go-to solution for workshops, warehouses and production facilities. Most of our models feature easy-grip handles for comfortable lifting and lids can be ordered separately if required. These boxes are ideal for storing and moving tools, parts or equipment between different workstations.
Hygiene and food-safe storage
In environments where hygiene is critical, such as food production or laboratories, food grade storage boxes provide a clean and compliant solution. These boxes are made from food-safe plastic and are easy to wash and disinfect, making them perfect for storing ingredients or utensils in HACCP-compliant areas.
Secure storage for added protection
Aluminium boxes offer robust protection for tools, instruments and high-value equipment in demanding environments. Designed for the construction and manufacturing industries, these boxes are corrosion-resistant, temperature-tolerant and stackable thanks to reinforced steel corner fittings.
They come with built-in locks and can be fitted with padlocks for added security. Lightweight yet extremely durable, aluminium storage boxes are a safe and sustainable choice for both static storage and transport across workshop and site settings.
Mobile Workshop Organisation
Heavy duty trolleys are designed to carry larger loads with ease, making them ideal for industrial environments. Many of our trolleys are compatible with stackable euro boxes, transport boxes, and even folding boxes, giving you a flexible mobile storage solution that suits a range of workflows.
Fully integrated storage solutions for modern workshops
From small parts bins to heavy duty trolleys, every element of your storage setup plays a role in how efficiently your workshop runs. The right combination of storage boxes and purpose-built furniture not only saves time and space, but also improves safety, productivity. And workshop organisation. By using a combination of modular products, including furniture, wall-mounted systems and storage boxes, you can build a workshop setup that evolves with your business.
At AJ Products Ireland, we offer over 15,000 workplace products, including boxes, cabinets, benches and handling equipment to help you create a workspace that works smarter.
