Why Storage Solutions Matter for Tradespeople

There can be many difficulties for tradespeople when it comes to storing tools and materials, we will highlight a few and how our plastic storage containers can provide solutions.

Tools cost tradespeople a lot of money and they wouldn't be able to do their job without them. It is thought that four in five tradespeople experience tool theft. We argue this is the most important area for tradespeople to be organised and safe, tools should be arranged efficiently to help complete jobs with little to no time being wasted. This will have a knock-on effect on customer satisfaction and relieve added pressure and stress trying to find tools that aren't where they should be.

Equally, the security and safety of tools should be considered when organising your workshop. If tools are stolen, misplaced or damaged it can cause financial loss that tradespeople might not be able to recover from. There was £98 million worth of equipment stolen from tradespeople in 2023, which equated to £82 million of income being lost because they didn't have the tools to complete the work due to theft. Our plastic storage containers have security measurements and solid walls to keep tools discreet and out of sight. We understand the importance of your tool safety and uphold excellent products, so you don't lose financially because of tool theft.

The benefits of having the correct plastic storage containers can change the way you work and improve your efficiency. This will allow you to take on and equally manage the stress of jobs better.

Decision fatigue can be a heavy burden and reducing the amount you make can vastly improve your productivity. Our plastic storage containers help your inventory organisation, help reduce decision fatigue and give you extra time to focus on what's important, your clients, your job and the quality of trade. Your materials will be secure, safe and kept in the correct condition for optimal efficiency.

Key Storage Solutions for Tradespeople

We have a wide selection of plastic storage containers that can improve your organisation, inefficiencies and workflows. 

Parts Bins

We recommend our parts bins for those looking to keep their materials in a secure, easy to access location. We supply parts bins in compact sizes for those smaller screws, bits or loose materials. Additionally, we offer larger sizes going up to 520 x 310 x 200 mm for those bulkier materials. 

The solid walls will protect them from dust, falling loose and keep your workspace tidy. They have a clear window ticket so you can label your materials and they are stackable so you can colour code your inventory. We highly recommend this product to all tradespeople who need to rearrange their materials in a logical order.

Euros Stacking Containers

We recommend this to tradespeople who run a scaled up business with larger tools and materials. The Euro stacking container comes in a range of standardised sizes that will fit on a Euro pallet or shelving unit.

This product is ideal for those working with heavier materials or tools that will need secure and load bearing boxes. These will stack securely on top of one another, improve space in transport and are efficient to move. They will reduce the number of accidental damages to materials due to their solid walls.

We stock perforated & solid Euro Stacking containers to make sure your needs are met. The solid stacking container would directly benefit tradespeople due to its robust walls and versatile stacking, as well as the range of capacities we stock.

Plastic Lidded Storage Boxes

You can use our plastic lidded storage boxes to safely store materials that are high in value. We recommend this product to those who are looking to keep materials safe from dust, pests and other bugs that might harm the quality of your materials. This can help avoid rusting, and other breakdowns in sensitive materials. They come fitted with a tamper evident hinged lid that will allow you to securely stow away expensive tools too, this will allow you to have peace of mind when storing high value tools.

Our recycled plastic lidded storage boxes are a great alternative to brand new containers and will help you cut costs. We highly recommend these to tradespeople who are looking to be as cost effective as possible.

Our plastic lidded storage boxes with folding lids are perfect for tradespeople as they are secure for your tools and materials when in transit or stored in your workshop. The folding lids come with tamper evident hinges that will securely lock away, with the easy to see ticket windows allowing you to label what is inside. Plastic boxes with a hinged lid and plastic boxes with voyager attachment are very similar and come in a variety of colours to help optimise your inventory with colour coding.

These are the most secure containers we provide and highly recommended for tradespeople to avoid unwanted theft.

Plastic Shelving Units and Racks

Our plastic shelving units and racks will allow you to customise your workshop and keep your tools organised, moreover, section out the types of materials you have. Tradespeople will be able to customise the plastic shelving units with a range of plastic containers to improve where tools are stored or with quick access depending on your preference. 

They are robust in size and design as they come with easy assembly guides and are durable for many years. The dimensions fit perfectly with plastic lidded containers, part bins, euro stacking boxes and much more. We recommend this for tradespeople who work out of their garage or a scaled up workshop, they vary in size and you will be able to assemble the perfect shelving unit to fit all of your equipment on.

Plastic Mobile Containers

Plastic mobile container trucks can vastly improve your inefficiencies by giving you a mode of transport for your heavy materials or tools. Carrying containers can be risky when they exceed weight limits or after a long day's work. The mobile trucks can help alleviate this by offering a solution to carrying limits, end of day fatigue and disjointed workflows. This highly manoeuvrable container will help you move large amounts of materials or tools without risk.

Sustainable and Recycled Storage Solutions

Have you considered our sustainable and recycled storage solutions instead of buying brand new? The initial cost of brand new containers can be a large financial investment and we aim to be suitable for all tradespeople, regardless of budget. Our sustainable plastic products offer a lifetime supply of storage needs. 

We will repurpose old containers and upcycle broken down materials into new products. They are ideal for hazardous materials or heavy tools that could cause expensive damage costs to new plastic containers.

Maximise your storage efficiencies! 

We recommend doing the following:

  1. Segment out each material, right the way up to the types of screws and nails, as well as sheets of metal and wood parts. The best way to achieve this is by using a variety of plastic storage boxes & colours.
  2. Labelling your tools and materials in containers can improve your efficiency in the workshop. Whether it's an open or closed container this will help add order to your inventory.
  3. Regularly clean and maintain your storage units and containers, so your tools and materials are in the best condition.
  4. Create a systematic order for your tools and materials, similar to labelling but think about a workflow. What do you use most often? Keep them towards the front. What do you use least? Keep it to the back.
