Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What are bin racks and louvered panels?
Bin racks and louvered panels are mounting systems that give small parts bins a fixed home at the point of use instead of leaving them stacked on a shelf or scattered across a bench. Louvered panels use angled slots that accept the hanging tabs molded into hopper front bins, while rail racks and steel rails hold bins along a horizontal bar. CustomMHS carries hanging systems, bench racks, rail racks, louvered panels, and wall mounted steel rails from Akro-Mils and Quantum.
Which mounting style should I choose?
The decision usually comes down to where the parts are used. Wall mounted steel rails and hanging systems put bins on vertical surfaces and use no floor space at all, which helps in tight areas. Bench racks sit on or attach to a workbench and keep frequently used components within arm's reach of the operator. Freestanding louvered panels stand on the shop floor and can be positioned wherever a job happens to run, including next to a machine or in a staging area.
What is the difference between single-sided and double-sided racks?
Single-sided racks hold bins on one face and are meant to sit against a wall, where the back side would be unusable anyway. Double-sided racks hold bins on both faces, so they belong in an aisle or open floor position where workers can approach from either direction. A double-sided unit roughly doubles the bin capacity per square foot of floor space, which makes it the stronger choice for a shared parts area serving two lines or two work cells.
When would I use chrome wire louvered panels instead of standard panels?
Quantum chrome wire louvered panels use an open wire construction rather than a solid steel face, so air moves freely behind and around the bins. That suits areas where ventilation matters, or where a solid panel would collect dust and require regular wipe-downs. Standard Akro-Mils louvered panels remain the practical choice for general shop and assembly use where airflow is not a factor.
How do bin racks and panels help your facility?
The main gain is that parts stop drifting. When every bin has an assigned slot on a panel or rail, an operator returns it to the same position every time, so the next person finds it without searching. Wall mounted rails and hanging systems also recover storage capacity from vertical surfaces that were doing nothing, which matters in facilities where floor space is already committed. Bench racks shorten the reach for high-use components at a workstation, reducing the small trips and stretches that add up across a shift and slow down assembly work.
