Rousseau R-Series Modular Drawer Cabinets, 400 lb Drawers, 24" to 60" Wide

The 400 lb rating is per drawer, not for the whole cabinet, so add up the drawers when you plan floor loading. Full-extension slides give access to the whole drawer, and the modular drawer rolling mechanism carries a lifetime warranty. Housing heights run from about 24" to 58", and a 2" forklift base is standard. The optional 4" base adds 2" to the height and allows forklift access from the front or side and pallet jack access from the front. Not every depth is offered at every width, so check the model before you order.

Parts are organized inside each drawer. Partitions (RG00 front to back, RG01 left to right) adjust in 1" steps, RG10 dividers adjust in 1" steps on a clip system, and groove trays (RG35, RG36, RG39) hold small items. Liners and foam (RG40 PVC, RG49 non-slip PVC, RG41 protective foam, RG42 tool foam, RG43 collet foam) protect tools. Tall cabinets need anchoring: your Buying Guide recommends it for units 46" or taller, units with heavy upper-drawer tooling, and seismic zones.

Product Lines
R-Series cabinets are stocked in 24", 30", 36", 48", 54" and 60" widths with a single drawer column, and 48", 54" and 60" widths also come with two drawer columns side by side. Quick-ship versions are available in 30" and 36" widths, and a Rousseau R counter height work center has two drawer columns. Options include PVC, foam, tool and collet drawer liners, and tops in laminated wood butcher block, steel with a non-slip rubber mat, steel, stainless steel, marine edge stainless steel and a sloped cabinet top.

Selecting the Right Model
◆ Width, choose 24", 30" or 36" for tight floor space and workstations, and 48", 54" or 60" for larger inventories, longer tooling or the most drawer capacity per unit
◆ Depth, choose 18", 21", 24" or 27" deep, and confirm that the depth you want is offered at your width, since not every depth is
◆ Drawer columns, choose a single column for a compact footprint, or two columns (48", 54" and 60" widths) to separate tooling by department, machine or operator in one frame
◆ Drawer mix, choose drawer heights from 3" to 14" to match the tooling, since the 400 lb rating is per drawer and the usable stack is about the housing height less 4"
◆ Base, choose the standard 2" forklift base, or the 4" base for pallet jack access from the front and a recessed kickplate
◆ Top, choose butcher block or steel with a non-slip rubber mat for bench work, or stainless steel (marine edge available) for easy cleaning
◆ Locks, choose a key lock (L3), a code lock (L50), an NFC smartphone lock (L100), a padlock hasp (LP) or a vertical security bar (RB10), and the one-drawer-at-a-time mechanism (RB15) for tip-over control
