Having the tool and supply room organized into coloured sections enhances efficiency and organization. It also makes locating tools and products easier. Having a combination of static units of drawers with mobile units of shelving, SSA Marine was able to increase their storage capacity. Mobile shelving units are a great option for smaller spaces needing the highest amount of storage room available.
