Rousseau 60" R-Series Modular Drawer Cabinet | 400 lb Capacity & Heavy-Duty Storage

Rousseau 60" R-Series modular drawer cabinets are the widest offering in the R-Series lineup, built for operations where oversized tools, long components, full maintenance kits, and large fixture sets need to be stored flat, organized, and immediately accessible. At 60" wide with 400 lb drawer capacity and full-extension slides, these cabinets eliminate the compromises that develop when standard-width cabinets are too narrow -- diagonal storage, improvised stacking, and split kits across multiple units. Cabinets are manufactured in North America.

All models are 60" wide. Two depths are available: 24" (R5AKE series) and 27" (R5AKG series) across heights from 40" to 60". Drawer configurations range from 5 to 11 drawers with drawer heights from 3" to 12". Most configurations are available with or without partitions. Select 60" models include a roll-out shelf alongside the drawer configuration.

Prices are shown by manufacturer model number for direct competitor comparison.

Selecting the Right Cabinet:

♦ Depth -- 24" (R5AKE) vs. 27" (R5AKG): The 24" depth suits standard floor positions. The 27" depth provides additional interior clearance for longer tools, larger storage trays, and items that benefit from extra front-to-back space. The R5AKG series also offers the 11-drawer R5AKG-5807/5808 configuration not available in the 24" depth.

♦ Cabinet height: The 40" height provides a substantial drawer count while remaining below standard workbench height for use as a base unit or standalone floor cabinet. The 46" height adds a drawer level. The 60" models offer the highest drawer density in this series, with the roll-out shelf option available at this height.

♦ Drawer configuration: Mid-depth drawers (4" to 6" tall) suit large hand tools, gauges, and standard-size parts. Deeper drawers (8" to 10" tall) accommodate heavy or bulky tooling, oversized fixture components, and large stacked trays. The 60" models combine shallow and deep drawers for a mixed inventory in a single unit. The 11-drawer R5AKG-5807/5808 configuration uses a high proportion of 3" drawers suited to high-count small part or insert storage at the 60" width.

♦ Roll-out shelf: Select 60" models (R5AKE-5801/5802 and R5AKG-5801/5802) that include a roll-out shelf providing an integrated pull-out work surface at the 60" width. Suited to operations where a flat staging surface alongside large stored tooling improves workflow without requiring a separate workbench.

♦ Partitions: Models marked "Yes" include drawer divider partitions. Models marked "No" have open drawer interiors.

Where Commonly Used:

♦ Heavy Manufacturing Tool Cribs: Maximum-width drawer storage for operations where the tool inventory -- in size, count, or both -- exceeds what standard cabinet widths can accommodate without splitting kits or stacking items awkwardly inside drawers.

♦ Die and Mold Shops: Storage of large dies, mold bases, tooling plates, and setup components where the 60" drawer width and 400 lb capacity accommodate the physical size and weight demands of toolroom inventory.

♦ Aerospace and Defense Toolrooms: Wide-format organized storage for program-specific fixture sets, large precision gauges, and specialized instruments where full kits must be kept together and accessible by program or assembly operation.

♦ Maintenance Departments with Large-Format Inventory: Storage of large wrenches, chain hoists, hydraulic tooling, and specialty repair equipment that exceed the usable interior of 48" or 54" drawers when stored flat and organized.

♦ Structural Steel and Heavy Fabrication: Storage of layout tools, large squares, angle setters, clamps, and fabrication accessories sized for structural work, where 60" drawer width allows full-length items to be stored without angling or bending.

♦ Fleet and Heavy Vehicle Maintenance: Centralized storage of oversized diagnostic and alignment equipment, specialty socket sets, and large-format hand tools used across multiple heavy vehicle classes in fleet maintenance operations.
