Hallowell 5526 Hi-Tech Bin Shelving | 21 Openings, 12" Wide x 12" High Each

The Hallowell 5526 bin shelving unit provides 21 openings per unit, each 12" wide by 12" high, uniform across all positions. Compared to the 5525's 14 openings at 18" wide, the 5526 offers 50% more storage positions in the same 36" wide x 87" high footprint by using a 12" opening width instead of 18". All units are 36" wide x 87" high. Three depth options are available: 12", 18", and 24".

The 5526 is the correct choice when stored items fit within a 12"-wide opening and a higher position count per unit is needed compared to the 5525. Starter units stand alone or begin a row. Add-on units share a side panel with an adjacent unit to extend the row. 

Selecting the Right Depth:

♦ 12" depth, suited for items that do not require more than 12" of front-to-back clearance. Minimum floor footprint.

♦ 18" depth, standard depth for most bin shelving applications. Accommodates boxed parts, containers, and supplies that fit within a 12" wide x 12" high opening at 18" depth.

♦ 24" depth, deepest option. Suited for larger items or higher per-opening volume.

♦ 5526 vs. 5525, choose 5526 when 12"-wide openings are appropriate, and more positions per unit are needed. Choose 5525 when items require the wider 18" opening.

♦ 5526 vs. 5536, both models have (21) 12" x 12" openings. 

♦ Starter vs. add-on units: Order one starter unit per row. Add-on units share a side panel and cannot stand alone.

Where Commonly Used:

♦ Parts Counter and Maintenance Room Supply Organization, parts counters and maintenance rooms organizing medium-sized packaged parts, boxed components, and supplies in 21 labeled 12"-wide positions, using the 5526 for a clean, consistent location-based layout that supports fast picking and accurate restocking.

♦ Stockrooms managing a High Variety of Medium Parts, stockrooms managing many distinct part numbers in the 12"-wide range use the 5526's 21 positions per unit to assign each part type its own location without needing the wider 18" openings of the 5525.

♦ Production Line Component Staging, production areas staging medium-sized components at the line use the 5526 to create a consistent, labeled staging layout where each component type has a defined position visible to both the line worker and the material handler replenishing from the aisle.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is the Hallowell Hi-Tech Bin Storage Shelving designed to do?
This shelving is built for fast, organized storage of small parts, supplies, and packaged items in clearly defined bin openings. Instead of stacking boxes or mixing SKUs on open shelves, each item can have its own dedicated “home.” The result is quicker picking, easier restocking, and fewer mix-ups during busy work.
How do the open bin-style openings improve day-to-day workflow?
Openings create a consistent layout that makes it easy to scan, grab, and go without digging through totes or breaking down cartons. That layout supports location-based organization, helping teams remain consistent across shifts. It also makes it simpler to spot low stock and keep inventory more accurate.
What types of environments use this style of bin storage shelving?
It fits anywhere that needs dependable, repeatable organization, including maintenance rooms, parts counters, service departments, stockrooms, and light-industrial areas. It is especially useful when you have many small items that need to stay separated and easy to identify. If your operation depends on speed and accuracy, bin shelving is usually a strong upgrade over basic open shelving.
How does modular bin shelving help you expand or reconfigure later?
Hi-Tech bin shelving is typically configured to allow you to build rows and add capacity without starting over. As your product mix changes, you can keep the same system and adjust how you organize within it. That flexibility helps protect your investment by allowing the shelving to evolve with your storage needs rather than requiring a full replacement.
What should you consider when planning layout and organization with bin openings?
Start by grouping parts by use, velocity, or work area so pick paths stay short and logical. Reserve prime, easy-reach zones for high-movement items and keep slower movers higher or lower. Consistent labeling and clear bin assignments are what turn shelving into a true system, not just storage.
