Hallowell 5526-18 Hi-Tech Metal Bin Shelving Starter Unit

Hallowell 5526-18 Hi-Tech Metal Bin Shelving Starter Unit – 36” W x 18” D x 87” H, 21 Openings (12” W x 12” H Each) 

If you want assigned-location parts storage with more individual compartments and more usable depth, the Hallowell 5526-18 Hi-Tech Metal Bin Starter Shelving is built for that job. It’s designed to reduce hunt time, improve visibility, and speed up picking by giving every SKU a dedicated opening so your parts room stays organized even when multiple people touch it every day.

This model is configured with 21 openings, each 12" wide x 12" high, making it ideal for higher SKU counts and smaller parts that need clean separation. The 18" depth gives you more space per opening than 12" models—applicable for deeper bins, boxed parts, and higher on-hand quantities without moving up to bulk 24" shelving.

It’s a pre-engineered closed bin shelving system with closed back and side panels, keeping contents contained and preventing parts from sliding out the back or migrating into adjacent compartments. The included shelf dividers are individually adjustable side-to-side, letting you customize compartment widths. And as your inventory mix changes, dividers can be removed or added—the unit adapts without replacement.

Starter units are complete and freestanding. When you need to expand, adder units connect to starters and share a side panel, forming a clean, space-efficient row of shelving.
