It’s easy to see why. Just consider the vast array of chemicals stocked at a typical research lab or the mountains of patient files that a doctor’s office or a hospital need to have on hand just to conduct everyday business — to give only two examples. Chances are, wherever you work, there’s a tremendous amount of important stuff that either needs to be kept under lock and key when not in use or at least needs to be neatly filed away somewhere so as not to clutter up the area.

Thankfully, there’s a simple solution to this complex problem. A humble set of commercial cabinets and counters can go a long way. Almost no matter what you need stored away or how you need it to be stored, there’s some type of casework that is perfect for your needs.

RDM Industrial Products has proudly built factory-direct and quality-designed industrial furniture of all kinds up to the highest level for more than four decades — though our cabinets and counters have also been particular favorites among our customers.

RDM Laboratory Cabinets & Casework are suitable for Medical Environment Applications.

Below, we’re going to give you a quick explanation of some of the benefits of having industrial cabinets around in your workplace. Then, we’ll launch straight into telling you all about some of the many types and styles of commercial, industrial and laboratory cabinets and counters that we can create for you and what their most important features are.

All in all, your workplace will begetter equipped to handle everyday needs and hum along smoothly as each day surges on.

What Having Quality Cabinets And Counters Can Do For Your Work Environment

Let’s jump straight to brass tacks. Here are some ways that our cabinets and counters can make where you work into a better place:

• Storage:

  Storage is a cabinet’s primary function. While that’s fairly obvious, it still bears some emphasis. Do you regularly work in a lab with hazardous chemicals? Some stainless steel, fireproof and chemical-resistant laboratory cabinets may be just what the doctor ordered. You can potentially use them to lock away chemicals any other kind of critical tools as well — a consideration that’s important not just for labs but for factories and industrial workplaces in particular. Where would you keep your files without a filing cabinet? Lockers are a must. Especially if you occasionally use things like lab coats, safety suits, gas masks and face shields at work. With the right cabinets, you can store virtually anything.

• Convenience:

  Closely related to their storage function is the convenience that good casework provides. Once your papers are neatly organized in a cabinet, you’ll have them at your fingertips at all times. If you’re a lab researcher who needs various substances near at hand as you work, we make combination cabinets and counters. You can smoothly integrate storage right into your workstation. If you need anything from gloves and goggles to a power say, stick it in a cabinet and you’ll always know where it is.

• Safety:

  Places like labs and factories regularly handle many dangerous chemicals and tools. If a particularly volatile or flammable substance is safely locked away in a sturdy cabinet, this sharply minimizes the probability of hazardous lab accidents happening. The same might be said for things like power tools. You can also use commercial cabinets to store safety equipment.

• Cost Savings:

  Your workplace would be a mess without convenient places to store things. That fact alone means that cabinets will save you significant time. Instead of looking for things, you can focus on work. Beyond this, RDM’s industrial cabinets are durable enough to withstand many years of wear, tear, impact and chemical damage. Since anything can happen at work, you’ll definitely want features like this. They not only contribute to keeping people safe, but mean significant long-term savings on replacement costs.

• Customization:

  When you order from RDM, we strive to put as much power a possible into your hands. A glance at some of the different types of cabinets we make reveals a wide array of options. But because everything from us is manufacturer-direct, we can also custom-build units for you with special features. If you need cabinets made of a particular material, if you need them to be of a particular size of shape or anything else, just let us know and we’ll customize your units for you.

What Types of Cabinets Do We Make?

RDM manufactures many different types of cabinets. But here is a rundown of some of the basic styles so that you have an idea of what we can do for you:

• Standard Cabinets:

  These are your simple, standard-style cabinets which you can attach either to your wall overhead or lower down by the floor. Cabinet doors swing open, you can load them up with whatever you want.

• Cabinets Attached to Work Counters:

  The benefits of this particular type of arrangement have already been discussed. We can build workstations with either a row of floor-level cabinets built right in or with an overhead set of cabinets attached. You thus won’t even have to leave your workbench to grab certain critical items.

• Lockers:

  Lockers are almost always used to store clothes. If workers need to suit up in a special way for work, whether for their protection or for some other reason, having some lockers around where they can keep their personal equipment is an especially good idea.

• PCB Cabinets:

  PCB or printed circuit board cabinets are designed to be both insulated against electricity and non-flammable. For additional protection against static electricity, you can also have the unit coated with ESD. The option to place these cabinets on wheels is also available. These units are useful for storing and transporting sensitive and volatile compounds.

• Tall Cabinets:

  For your heavy-duty storage needs, check out our tall cabinets. Each of these units is seven feet tall. They’re made of metal, contains many shelves and can be outfitted with either sliding or swinging doors.

One final note: We make our cabinets mainly out of either wood or stainless steel. We can add flame-resistant or chemical-resistant coating to our stainless steel cabinets if you require. Options to add epoxy resin, Corian and Trespa are available for some wooden models as well.

Have a look at many of our different cabinet styles here. We also encourage those who are specifically in the market for laboratory cabinets to go here.

Conclusion

With the great versatility and customizability that RDM’s commercial and industrial cabinets place at your fingertips, they’ll be able to make virtually any kind of workplace into a more comfortable and better run place.

Let us get to work building products — all of which we proudly manufacture in the USA — for you.

The post Cabinets and Counters Designed to Meet Your Everyday Needs appeared first on RDM Industrial Products.

After all, labs are home to an extraordinary number of different tools and chemicals — some of them quite caustic and dangerous if not used properly — and they can’t all be in use at once. When they aren’t, they need to be put away, and put away safely. They need to be kept reliably under lock and key until such time as they’re called for. Lab managers not only need to think about the efficiency and smoothness with which their daily procedures run when considering these issues, but the safety and well-being of their lab workers as well.

RDM has been in the business of manufacturing quality-designed and factory-direct lab furniture for more than four decades. Our laboratory cabinets are among the best in the field and will help you to impose some order on a world bristling with hustle and bustle.

To show you just how they can do that, let us give you a taste of our wide selection of lab cabinets — their sizes, their design styles, the materials of which they can be made, the qualities that these features impart to them and how they can make your lab a more orderly and well-humming place.

What Kinds of Cabinets Do We Offer?

RDM Laboratory Storage Cabinets and Casework are suitable for Medical Environment Applications

Design-wise, RDM’s laboratory storage cabinets can be broken up into a few different categories. Here are some of these categories and and a word about their peculiar advantages.

• Overhead:

  Overheard cabinets can be hung from a wall as standalone units. Or the can be attached to special workbenches, offering convenient and easy-to-access storage in either case. Units of this type tend to be smaller. But we can custom design them for you within a given set of parameters. Overhead cabinets are typically 22 inches deep and can be designed to be anywhere from 30 to 48 inches wide and 30 to 36 inches. We can also customize units to give them added versatility. Including closure panels, drawers of varying widths and quantity and either one or two swinging doors. The overhead cabinets that are attached to racks on workbenches, of course, come with the workbench attached and are made of stainless steel.

• Under Counters:

  Our under-counter cabinets tend to be the down-low counterparts of our overhead cabinets. In terms of their design and makeup, they are virtually identical to the overhead units already described, except that they form an inseparable part of our work counters. Cabinets of this type are especially useful for lab workers who need to have large quantities and various types of equipment and chemicals close at hand for their daily work. They can simply reach down, open up the cabinets and retrieve whatever they require — all without leaving their workbenches. Units like this this are especially useful if convenience and efficiency matter to you.

• Large and Tall:

  For your heavy-duty storage needs — whether in the sense of storing large kinds of equipment or of storing a large quantity of equipment — RDM’s industrial-quality large and tall lab cabinets are the go-to solution. Each of these units is seven feet tall and comes with many shelves and a pair of large, swinging doors. Width is variable in six-inch increments from 18 to 48 inches, though 18 and 24-inch versions only come with a single door. What these impressive units may lack in portability they certainly make up for in their grand capability to easily store whatever you need to have locked away. They are an excellent way to declutter the lab and keep things neat and organized. Have a look at our tall cabinets and some of the customization options we offer you.

What Are Our Storage Cabinets Made From?

RDM Stainless Steel Storage Cabinets. A typical Mobile Stainless Steel Tall Cabinet Design with five (5) adjustable height shelves.

Stainless steel is far and away the dominant material of which we make our many laboratory cabinets. After all, stainless steel is durable, resilient and reliable. Precisely the sorts of qualities that are in demand when the question comes up of safely storing away potentially dangerous lab chemicals. Our stainless steel storage cabinets are made according to some of the kinds of styles described above. And are all custom-designed to fit your particular needs and specifications.

But stainless steel storage cabinets just one facet of the many storage tools that we can offer your laboratory. As much justified emphasis as there might be on the safe storage of some dangerous chemical or some industrial-strength tool, more mundane and simple materials also need a place where they can be put away. For that, we also offer an assortment of simpler commercial cabinets made of wood.

We also make tall commercial cabinets in both stainless steel and other metal versions. Doors can be made of glass, wood or stainless steel. And both the interior and exterior can be coated in polyurethane to make the whole units more resistant to acidic chemicals.

How Can Laboratory Storage Cabinets Hep You?

Obviously, the primary function of laboratory storage cabinets is to offer storage, but you’d be sorely mistaken if you supposed that this simple description exhausts what our units are capable of.

All of our storage cabinets can also be custom-made to be flame resistant, chemical resist or static-resistant. If you plan to house chemicals in any of our units that are either extremely corrosive, flammable or in any way in a high danger of spilling or leaking out, it’s strongly recommended that you add this special functionality to your orders. The safety of your lab workers and the physical integrity of the lab itself and everything in it are, of course, a paramount concern.

Conclusion

Sometimes, the simplest things can be the easiest to overlook. Since cabinets have a function that, at first blush, seems rather humdrum, it can be easy to succumb to the temptation not to strive to get your lab the very best units possible. But given the critical importance of safety, security and orderliness to the daily activities of every research lab, succumbing to that temptation can be a very costly mistake.

The quick whirlwind tour of our cabinets that we’ve given here is only meant to whet your appetite and get you started. There’s so much more to explore, and this has been only a taste of what we can offer you. All of RDM’s storage cabinets are proudly manufactured in the USA, and if you want to take a peek at our full selection of laboratory storage cabinets & casework, we encourage you to look.

With these additions to your workplace, you’ll establish convenient and ergonomically designed environments for your workers to ply their trades. They will also have secure and resilient places in which to store some crucial tools, supplies, uniforms, and chemicals. Or anything else that the staff might need throughout the day. In fact, with the right sort of storage and workstations, you may even be able to kill both of these birds with the very same stone.

RDM Industrial Products has spent the last four decades building and maintaining a reputable name in the field of industrial-grade furniture solutions. Our custom cabinets, counters, and casework workstations are among the things we are most proud of making. Over the years, these furniture solutions have helped customer after customer upgrade their workplaces into better, more streamlined and seamlessly functioning environments.

We’d be glad to help you enjoy the same benefits, but first, let us explain just how our products can do that for you. Here’s a bit of important information about some of the different types of industrial-grade and commercial cabinets, counters and casework, that we can manufacture. A few of the various kinds of work environments that can be, and have been, transformed by them for the better; and what they can do to enhance your workplace in particular.

Some of Our Various Cabinets, Counters and Casework Models

RDM LAB CABINETS & CASEWORK – Cabinet Install Pre-Top Installation – Off-White Cabinets

Here are just a few of the many things in this diverse area that RDM can create for your workplace:

• Standard Commercial Casework:

  This general design involves both an upper and a lower set of cabinets, both of which have Eruo-style slab doors. The bottom units also have shelves atop their doors and are topped off by a small work surface. They are not designed for any kind of heavy-duty use, but they can perform basic storage functions.

• PCB Storage Units:

  Printed Circuit Board units are deigned to be insulated against electricity and to be non-flammable. As such, they are ideal for storing sensitive or volatile chemicals or other kinds of reactive equipment. Our units can be made of MDF, lightweight MDF, plywood or with particle boards. They can also be laminated with plastic, given a melamine finish or coated with ESD to guard against static. We can also put these units on wheels to make it easy for you to transport any of the equipment they carry.

• Cleaning Room & Laboratory Casework:

  

  RDM Stainless Steel Casework is available in a variety of Stainless Steel Cabinet Styles including Base Cabinets and Upper Cabinets

  Units in this category are absolutely ideal for use in laboratories of all kinds. They are designed to have all the qualities that lab researchers seek. Features that help them get to work on their research or store away crucial equipment when it’s not in use. The basic designs also involve flat work surfaces with a base-level storage area and a set of further storage cabinets placed overhead and attached to a wall. Both parts of this setup are made of stainless steel to make them maximally damage-resistant. We can also custom-design them to be chemical-resistant and/or flame-resistant. Thus enabling them to reliably withstand even the harshest conditions likely to be found in a lab. Overhead storage units can either be suspended from a wall or directly attached to the work surface. Click here to have a look at some of our hardiest stainless steel units.

   

• Lockers and Storage Units:

  Our lockers — mainly meant to be used for storing clothes, uniforms and other staff belongings which, for one reason or another, should be kept away from the main work environment — are made of melamine and can be laminated with plastic to give them a glossy finish. Their doors lock securely, so whatever you store in them will be safe. But they are not designed to store hazardous material. For that, some of the other specially designed units that have been mentioned above are more appropriate. Our special storage units, however, hare made of stupider stuff — namely, stainless steel. Their main hallmark, however, is that rather than doors, they use drawers in which to store things. You also have the option of putting them on wheels for the sake of ease of transport.

• Standard Service Counters:

  These units can be made in a range of different heights between 34 and 48 inches. Beneath their flat work surface are a series of shelves on which workers can store materials that they will need to have close at hand. Units can be made in either a standard straight or an L-shaped configuration.

• Work Surfaces for Receptionists:

  We also manufacture work surfaces that are ideal for use in a reception room, where workstations tend to be larger. Such workstations can come with file drawers and pedestals for the receptionist’s use. Plus its upper surface can be customized to be anywhere between 36 and 48 inches off the ground. It can even be made with a cantilevered lower-level desk surface with a variable height of between 28 and 30 inches.

• Demonstration or Display Surfaces:

  If you need surfaces on which to leave certain items on display — not necessarily for workers to perform continuous daily tasks at — then RDM has you covered as well. Like our PCB units, these can also be made of either MDF, lightweight MDF, plywood or particle boards. We can laminate them for you with plastic, or give them a melamine finish. And we can outfit them with containment curbs to ensure that the objects you place upon them don’t roll or fall off. If you need us to, we can even make these units chemical-resistant.

What you’ve seen here is only a rather rudimentary discussion of what we can offer you. Once you factor in all of our many customization options, the set of possibilities explodes. For a deeper look into out different custom cabinets and casework, click here.

General Features of Cabinets, Counters and Casework

We’ve already alluded to some general features above. Here are a few more specific custom features that we can add in to the units you order and how they can enhance your workplace:

• Stainless Steel Construction:

  The benefits of having units made of stainless steel are fairly obvious. Included in the list is, longevity, strength, reliability, safety, etc. If your workplace is one where these qualities are needed, check out our stainless steel options.

• Special Surface Options:

  Here, we have in mind the ability to coat the surfaces of our units to give them various special properties. Such as, flame-resistance and chemical-resistance. In addition to these two big and popular options, we can also coat many surfaces in ESD to curb the transmission of static electricity. Some other options include Trespa TopLab, epoxy resin, Trespa Athlon and corian. Any and all of these can be of critical importance in a lab setting, depending on the sorts of chemical agents you’ll be working with. That makes safety the primary benefit of all of these options.

Workplaces that Stand to Benefit

Now that you’ve seen what kinds of units we have and what they can do, what kinds of workplaces have been, and continue to be, enhanced by their use. Here are just a few:

• laboratories of all kinds, whether they’re involved in research, design or anything else
• university and high school science labs
• medical schools
• office buildings of any kind with reception rooms
• stores wishing to give customers a look at their products

Conclusion

Without a good place to work, it won’t be possible to do much work. And without places to store materials, operations in a great many workplaces will be stymied. These two obvious truths should indicate all on their own the great importance good commercial cabinets and workstations to all kinds of workplaces. And with their many useful features, their ability to enhance the workplace — both from a productive and a stylistic perspective — cannot be denied.

In your journey to bring your workplace to the next level, RDM is happy to be of service. Our industrial-quality and factory-direct cabinets, counters and casework are all proudly manufactured in our facilities in California. We encourage you to take a look at them.

Rather than buying tons of lab equipment of all different kinds, heights and sizes. Getting height adjustable workstations and other adjustable lab furniture can give you the versatility you need and help save you some money. RDM Industrial Products custom-designs a wide range of versatile adjustable workstation solutions and ergonomic laboratory furniture to meet your needs. And all of our products are proudly manufactured in the USA.

Let’s have a look at some of our height adjustable workstations and other ergonomic furniture categories, to give you a taste of what we have to offer.

Adjustable Workstations & Tables

RDM Lift Table – Model RDM-ES-107P-SSTOP-CSTR-01

A lab table, workbench or workstation is every scientist’s and lab worker’s bread and butter. It’s where virtually all the important work is done and where nearly every major tool or chemical is handled. It’s therefore crucial to get these made right.

Thankfully, we have an enormous amount of different models to choose from here – large and small, square and rectangular, L-shaped and i-framed, with racks or shelves and without. We even have models that come with platform lifts to bring researchers up above their workstations to the appropriate degrees.

The major adjustable feature for most of these models, however, is height. By means of anything from a manual hand crank, to adjustable legs with pins, to an electric crank. You can toggle and play with the height of our workbenches until they’re at the optimal height to allow you to do your best work. We can even install a hydraulic lift into certain special and multipurpose models like the A-107P, the LA-107P and the P-107P-HYD Ergonomic Workstation. Any of these options are open to you because all of our models are manufacturer-direct and custom-designed.

Lastly, we manufacture a series of different light tables to help illuminate your lab work. Adjustability here pertains to the lift, height and tilt of the table surface.

Have a look at all of our many adjustable workstations, tables and workbenches here.

Ergonomic Chairs

Every quality adjustable workstation, should have a corresponding ergonomic chair. Chairs are a simple, but critical piece of lab furniture. A good chair can mean the difference for a lab researcher between sitting for hours, hunched and cramped in discomfort and misery and having a breezy and efficient day at work.

To keep things humming along and your staff comfortable, we manufacture a variety of different ergonomic X-chairs and stools with adjustable seating heights, frames and arm rests. These fall into three main series:

• The Standard Series: The chairs in this series are ordinary but comfortable chairs with small back rests, tube steel bases, adjustable heights and foot rings. They are ideal for high work surfaces that measure 34 inches or more off the ground.

• The Pro-Duty Series: The chairs here have seats and back rests that are similar to those in the Standard Series, but have adjustable arm rests and aluminum bases. Foot rings are optional and may be preferred for higher work surfaces measuring 34 inches or more off the ground. Otherwise, they are good for desks and workbenches that are between 28 and 32 inches high. The chairs are also mobile because they are on wheels.

• The Technical Series: The chairs in this grouping might be the gold standard in ergonomic chairs. Primarily, this is because they have much larger back rests than other models and are built for maximum comfort. They offer more customization options but have many of the same features as Standard and Pro-Duty Series chairs.

Have a glance at all of our ergonomic chairs here.

Carts

Carts are an imperative piece of laboratory and industrial furniture. It’s because they are a great way to quickly transport important tools, supplies and equipment to lab workers in a pinch. A cart can be as simple as a table or a rack on wheels. However, we have all other types of quality-designed models waiting for you. Including ones made of stainless steel, ones with built-in drawers or multiple shelves, and more. They can carry things virtually as high up or as down low as you need, and we even manufacture adjustable-height models for maximum versatility. We have peg boards, roll storage, panel racks, packaging and even large PCB storage carts for sale as well.

You can find all of our various cart models here.

Cabinets

Good, sturdy and reliable cabinets are indispensable to any lab. Laboratories and other industrial spaces often need a place to store potentially dangerous tools or hazardous chemicals. These items need to be kept out of reach when not directly in use, and adjustable cabinets fill the gap. Lab safety would be virtually impossible to guarantee without them. RDM manufactures and sells wooden, stainless steel, chemical-resistant, corrosion-resistant, flame-resistant and/or laminated cabinets. They are all easy to clean and can make great additions to your lab.

But even with this humble, simple and unassuming piece of laboratory furniture, RDM gives you the option to make adjustments. The primary adjustment open to you in this case is in the number of shelves to be found in each unit. Though doors and their specific features can also sometimes be adjusted. For instance, you can buy units with either swinging or sliding doors, and each door of this type can be made out of either metal or glass. Of course, you can also choose to have no doors at all.

Oh, and let’s not forget about making them mobile. Your carts can be equipped with industrial-duty casters with locking wheel & pivot capabilities. Of course we have other wheel/caster styles available too. Just let us know what you need.

Our units also come in an impressive range of sizes. Including, those that are small and easily hung on a wall to those that are tall and meant for more heavy-duty storage. Since everything we make is factory-direct and can be designed to your specifications, you can tailor every purchase to the specific conditions in your lab.

Conclusion

Ergonomic furniture isn’t just an optional luxury that you can either make part of your lab or not. After all, worker comfort doesn’t operate in a vacuum; it can have critical effects on productivity and efficiency, too. But beyond its benefits for staff comfort – adjustable workstations whether it be in laboratory furnishings or industrial furniture, has many other advantages as well. Not least of these lies in versatility and adaptability. If you can adjust workstations, chairs, carts and other equipment as things change, then you won’t need to spend as much to keep your lab in good working order.

With RDM’s quality-designed adjustable workstations and ergonomic furniture, you and your team will be ready for anything.

Commercial cabinets are categorized in different types that include

• Storage cabinet
• Reception counters
• Service counters
• Locker cabinets
• Custom cabinets
• Laboratory cabinet or casework

Points to Consider Buying Right Commercial Cabinet:

Commercial cabinets are integrated with several beneficial features that help accomplish the tasks in an organized way, which in turn enhances productivity. However, when buying a commercial cabinet, you should make sure that it is able to help and enhance your workplace in the best possible way. You need to consider a few aspects to get the most suitable one for your workspace.

Strong Material

Different workplaces have distinct requirements, as per the type of works they handle. For instance, lab technicians perform experiments with chemicals, alkaline and abrasive materials. These materials make surrounded furniture prone to damage. Stainless steel is a strong material that can withstand the conditions of a laboratory. For long use, you need to opt for steel laboratory casework.

Locker Option

Some workplaces need to maintain the safety and security of the utensils, and of personal items for that matter. For such workplaces, a quality locker cabinet is the best option. The high-quality locking mechanism is used in these cabinets to ensure the highest security. Few cabinets are featured with a keyless entry system, which is better than the traditional lock and key system. This type of mechanism eliminates the chances of duplication or loss of the key. An electronic or combination keypad also ensures the highest security.

Style of Cabinet

Commercial cabinets are available in different styles too. You may opt for only storage, only wardrobe or the combination of both, as per your needs. The storage cabinets are designed with horizontal steel shelves so that things can be kept inside in an organized way. On the other hand, a top shelf and a coat rod are built in the wardrobe cabinets. These combination cabinets are configured with multiple features. For the janitorial staff, the combination cabinet is the most useful one, as they can store their required equipment like a variety of liquids and mops, and so much more, in a neat and tidy and easy to locate manner.

Size of Cabinet

Different shapes and sizes are offered in the wide range of commercial cabinets. It is essential to consider the suitability of a particular size for your commercial space. The convenience of the employees should be kept in mind while selecting the size. It is a wise decision to choose one, which you can place nearer to the workstation.

Cost of Cabinet

Commercial or industrial cabinets are expensive. If you look for a cabinet configured with all beneficial features, locking system and made with a sturdy material, you need to spend a bit higher. However, the high-quality cabinet that offers durability and better ergonomics, is cost-effective considering the long-term use.

Conclusion:

Moreover, there are varied options of commercial cabinets that include mobile cabinets for portability, a transparent cabinet for visibility and vented cabinets for good airflow. Each one is designed to meet different requirements. The most suitable commercial cabinet can help you maintain a smooth workflow and enhance the productivity of the workspace. Along with this furniture, you should equip your workspace with all other well-designed industrial furniture pieces to create flow and efficiency.
