Hallowell 5528-12 Hi-Tech Metal Bin Shelving Starter Unit – 36” W x 12” D x 87” H, 54 Openings (48 @ 6”x9”, 6 @ 6”x12”)

Hallowell 5528-12 Hi-Tech Metal Bin Shelving Starter Unit

If your goal is maximum SKU density and fast, mistake-proof picking for small parts, the Hallowell 5528-12 Hi-Tech Metal Bin Starter Shelving is built for it. This is assigned-location bin shelving: every part number gets a dedicated opening, so workers spend less time searching and more time picking—with better visibility and cleaner inventory control.

This model is the high-compartment layout in the lineup, featuring 54 total openings:
♦ 48 openings sized 6" wide x 9" high for small parts and high SKU counts
♦ 6 taller openings sized 6" wide x 12" high for slightly larger items, boxed components, kits, or bagged assemblies

It’s a pre-engineered closed bin shelving system with closed back and side panels, keeping contents contained and preventing small items from drifting into adjacent areas or falling out the back. The included shelf dividers are individually adjustable side-to-side, so you can fine-tune compartment widths. When your inventory mix changes, dividers can be added or removed, allowing the shelving to evolve without replacing the entire unit.

Starter units are complete and freestanding. You can expand later with adder units that connect to the starter and share a side panel to create clean, space-efficient rows.
