Hallowell 5528-24 Hi-Tech Metal Bin Shelving Starter Unit – 36” W x 24” D x 87” H, 54 Openings (48 @ 6”x9”, 6 @ 6”x12”)

Hallowell 5528-24 Hi-Tech Metal Bin Shelving Starter Unit

If you need maximum small-parts organization and can carry deeper bins or higher quantities per SKU, the Hallowell 5528-24 Hi-Tech Metal Bin Starter Shelving is the high-capacity solution. It’s designed around assigned-location storage—every item gets its own opening, so your team picks faster, restocks cleaner, and makes fewer mistakes.

This model delivers 54 total openings:
♦ 48 openings sized 6" wide x 9" high for high-SKU small parts
♦ 6 taller openings sized 6" wide x 12" high for slightly larger items, boxed components, kits, or bagged assemblies

The big advantage here is the 24" depth. It gives you more usable space per opening for deeper bins and higher on-hand quantities, making it a strong fit for tool cribs, MRO rooms, maintenance departments, and parts operations that move a lot of inventory and need it organized by location.

It’s a pre-engineered closed bin shelving system with closed back and side panels, keeping contents contained and preventing small items from migrating into adjacent compartments or falling out the back. The included shelf dividers are individually adjustable side-to-side, letting you customize compartment widths. When your storage needs change, dividers can be removed or additional dividers added, so the system adapts without replacement.

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.
