Hallowell 5530-12 Hi-Tech Metal Bin Shelving Starter Unit – 36” W x 12” D x 87” H, 54 Openings (48 @ 6”x9”, 6 @ 6”x12”)

Hallowell 5530-12 Hi-Tech Metal Bin Shelving Starter Unit 

If you need small-parts storage that stays organized and picks fast, the Hallowell 5530-12 Hi-Tech Metal Bin Starter Shelving is built for assigned-location inventory. Every SKU gets a dedicated opening, which means less searching, fewer mis-picks, and faster restocking, especially in tool cribs, MRO rooms, and parts departments where multiple people touch inventory daily.

This model gives you 54 total openings sized for small parts and consumables:
♦ 48 openings at 6" wide x 9" high for a high-SKU small-parts organization
♦ 6 taller openings at 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 items from drifting into adjacent compartments or falling out the back. The included shelf dividers are individually adjustable side-to-side, so you can fine-tune compartment widths. And as your storage needs change, dividers can be removed or added—so the unit adapts without replacement.

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