Hallowell 5528-18 Hi-Tech Metal Bin Shelving Starter Unit – 36” W x 18” D x 87” H, 54 Openings (48 @ 6”x9”, 6 @ 6”x12”)

Hallowell 5528-18 Hi-Tech Metal Bin Shelving Starter Unit 

For high-SKU small-parts storage where speed and organization matter, the Hallowell 5528-18 Hi-Tech Metal Bin Starter Shelving is built to keep everything assigned, visible, and easy to pick. Instead of wasting time searching through mixed totes or overflowing bins, each item gets a dedicated opening—so your team picks faster, makes fewer mistakes, and restocks with less confusion.

This model is configured for maximum compartment count in a practical footprint, with 54 total openings:
♦ 48 openings sized 6" wide x 9" high for small parts and high SKU density
♦ 6 taller openings sized 6" wide x 12" high for slightly larger parts, boxed components, kits, or bagged assemblies

The 18" depth adds more usable storage room than 12" units, making it a better fit when you carry higher on-hand quantities per part number or use deeper bins—without stepping up to a bulk 24" depth.

This is a pre-engineered closed bin shelving system with closed back and side panels, keeping contents contained and preventing parts from shifting out the back or into adjacent areas. The included shelf dividers are individually adjustable side-to-side, letting you customize compartment widths, and dividers can be removed or added as your inventory changes.

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