HOW MANY TRAYS CAN A TRAY STORAGE UNIT HOLD?
Tray storage units are available in a wide variety of sizes to suit your requirements. Our smallest units hold 6-12 plastic trays and are perfect for use in school classrooms or areas with limited space. When you need maximum capacity, our largest racks hold 50+ trays across three vertical columns – ideal for large learning spaces and school laboratories, as well as other workplaces such as prep rooms or engineering workshops.
WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A DEEP AND SHALLOW TRAY STORAGE UNIT?
Shallow tray storage is generally used to keep items like paper, documents and notepads. Shallow trays usually have a depth of around 75mm, making them a popular choice in schools for holding small toys, stationery or art supplies. Deep trays are usually double the height, with a depth of around 150mm or more. This provides extra storage space for larger items such as books, binders and bulky goods that won’t fit in flat spaces.
WHERE IS A PLASTIC STORAGE TRAY UNIT MOST COMMONLY USED?
Plastic tray storage units are commonly used in schools, offices and warehouses to keep items well organised and rooms tidy. Made from robust polypropylene, the trays are incredibly durable to withstand the bumps and knocks of repeated everyday use. Schools use them to hold paper, exercise books, art supplies and other learning equipment, while offices organise documents, non-sensitive files and mail sorting. Many of our tray storage units are mounted on castor wheels for easy mobility, making them popular in warehouses, factories and workshops too – they’re great for holding small parts, components and consumables.
WHY DO BUSINESSES CHOOSE PLASTIC STORAGE TRAYS?
Plastic storage trays offer a low-maintenance way to keep items tidy and well organised. The smooth polypropylene surface is non-porous and easy to wipe clean when you need to deal with dirt or spills. It’s also incredibly durable and resists cracking, warping or breaking. If you’re looking for a mobile and lightweight storage unit with trays, choosing plastic compartments offers the flexibility to reconfigure, stack or move around to suit your needs.
