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.

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.

Laboratory Tables and Other Lab Furnishings

Lab tables are used in healthcare facilities, educational and research institutions, specimen testing centers, and other environments that feature laboratories. These furnishings are made from wood or metal and feature different top surfaces including some, such as a chemical-resistant solid surface, designed for special environments.  Microscope tables have an adjustable height feature and may have height memory and special accessories.

Laboratory cabinets are made from standard steel or flame or chemical-resistant material designed for the special substances used in some lab environments. Fume hoods remove potentially dangerous fumes from the air, increasing the safety of lab workers. Lab counters can be equipped with sinks containing special service fixtures that include hot and cold water faucets, air and gas valves, and eye wash stations.

When Ordering Laboratory Tables, Remember Seating

Lab tables become more user-friendly when comfortable chairs are purchased with them. Laboratory seating includes ergonomic chairs designed for standard laboratory, ESD static control, and cleanroom environments and backless stools for lab workers who regularly move from seated to standing positions. Some industrial seating is designed for tables that are 34 inches or higher, combining functionality and utility.

Purchasing the highest-quality, most well-designed laboratory furniture within budget should result in years of use. When shopping for these industrial products online, look for a manufacturer that builds to customer specifications and offers accessories designed for use with the items being considered. This furniture will make lab work comfortable and more productive.
