Choosing the Right Cabinet Width:
All R-Series cabinets carry 400 lbs per drawer. Width determines how much horizontal storage you get per unit and how many drawers you can configure per cabinet.
♦ 24" Wide, compact footprint for tight spaces, individual workstations, or limited floor space, best for smaller tooling and hand tools.
♦ 30" Wide, mid-size option balancing storage capacity with a manageable footprint, suited to most general tool room and maintenance applications.
♦ 36" Wide, one of the most commonly specified widths, provides enough drawer width for larger tooling, gauges, and mixed-size parts without excessive floor space.
♦ 48" Wide, high-volume storage for larger inventories or wider tooling, available in single and multi-drawer configurations.
♦ 54" Wide, wider format for long tooling, production fixtures, or large component sets, available in single and multi-drawer configurations.
♦ 60" Wide, maximum width in the R-Series line, best for high-density storage, large tool cribs, or the greatest drawer capacity per unit.
Every R-Series drawer is rated at 400 pounds.

Single Drawer vs. Multi-Drawer Cabinets:
Standard R-Series cabinets have a single column of drawers. Multi-drawer cabinets, available in 48", 54", and 60" widths, feature two columns of drawers side by side within the same cabinet frame, the right choice when tooling needs to be segregated by department, machine, or operator without installing multiple separate cabinets.

Selecting the Right Model:
♦ Width: Choose from 24" up to 60" based on available floor space and the size of items being stored.
♦ Configuration: Choose Single Drawer for a compact footprint, or Multi-Drawer to segregate storage categories within one unit.
♦ Top surface: Choose Butcher Block or Steel with a Rubber Mat for general bench work, or Stainless Steel for sanitary or food-grade requirements.

Where Commonly Used:
Rousseau R-Series cabinets are used in tool rooms and maintenance departments for tooling, machine components, and hardware storage, on manufacturing floors and production support areas for dies and heavy replacement parts, and at individual workstations where compact widths fit tight floor space.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Is the 400 lb rating per drawer or per cabinet, and how should I account for floor loading?

The 400 lb rating applies to each drawer individually, not to the cabinet as a whole. Cabinets are heavy before they are loaded: a 36" W x 24" D x 40" H five-drawer unit is listed at 409 lb empty, and a 30" W x 27" D x 58" H nine-drawer unit at 641 lb. A tall cabinet with every drawer loaded can become a multi-thousand-pound point load. On a mezzanine, raised floor, or upper story, check the loaded weight against the deck rating before placing the cabinet.

What adjustment resolution do the partitions and dividers provide?

Partitions (RG00 front-to-back, RG01 left-to-right) and dividers (RG10) are held by a clip system and adjust in 1" increments, center to center. Usable space inside each compartment is slightly less than the nominal spacing because the separators have thickness. Size compartments from the part dimension plus clearance rather than to a tight fit. Both components can be removed and repositioned, so a factory-partitioned drawer can be reconfigured later.

What tip-over controls are available, and when should the cabinet be anchored

R-Series cabinets are designed for floor anchoring. The worst tipping case is a loaded upper drawer at full extension. Anchor any cabinet 46" or taller, any cabinet with heavy tooling in the upper drawers, and any cabinet in a seismic zone. The RB15 one-drawer-at-a-time mechanism keeps a second drawer from opening while one is out, which reduces the risk further. Loading the heaviest items in the bottom drawers also improves stability.

What are the base options for forklift and pallet jack handling?

The standard 2" forklift base has a front cover plate and allows forklift access from the front. The optional 4" base adds 2" to the overall height and includes a recessed kickplate. It allows forklift access from the front or side and pallet jack access from the front. If the cabinet may be moved after installation, specify the 4" base at order time.

How do I decode an R-Series model number?

Read it left to right. R5A is the standard stationary prefix. The fourth character is the width code (C=24", D=30", E=36", H=48", J=54", K=60"). The fifth is the depth code (C=18", D=21", E=24", G=27"). The first two digits after the dash are the drawer housing height in inches, and the last two digits identify the drawer configuration, including whether partitions are installed. For example, R5AHE-4417 is 48" wide, 24" deep, with a 44" housing, in configuration 17.
