Rousseau 42x24 Modular Drawer Shelving

Rousseau Modular Drawer Shelving | 42" Wide x 24" Deep, Five Drawer Configurations

Rousseau 42" wide x 24" deep modular drawer shelving is the largest footprint in the 42"-wide series, combining the extra lateral space of the 42" width with the additional front-to-back volume of the 24" depth. All drawers carry 400 pounds and extend fully on precision slides. This configuration is appropriate when both the lateral and front-to-back dimensions of the stored items exceed what the 42x18 or 36x24 configurations can accommodate, or when maximum per-drawer volume is required to hold high quantities of wide, longer parts in a single drawer position.

Starter units stand alone or begin a row. Add-on units share uprights with adjacent units. For custom configurations, call CustomMHS at 866-333-0728.

Selecting the Right Configuration:

♦ 42x24 vs. 42x18, both are 42" wide. The 24" depth provides more front-to-back volume per drawer for longer parts and higher quantities per position. Choose 42x24 when front-to-back drawer depth is the constraint in addition to lateral width. Choose 42x18 when the 18" depth is adequate, and a shallower footprint is preferred.

♦ 42x24 vs. 36x24, both are 24" deep. The 42" width provides more lateral drawer space for wider parts, wider tool trays, and more items arranged side-by-side in a single drawer. Choose 42x24 when both width and depth are needed. Choose 36x24 when lateral width is not a constraint.

♦ Drawer height configurations, five pre-configured layouts cover 3", 4", and 6" drawer heights. Shallower drawers suit flat tooling and inserts. The 6" drawers suit taller components. Mixed configurations provide both.

♦ Roll-out shelf option (R5SGE-754809 and R5SGE-874809), these configurations include (2) 3", (3) 4", (2) 6" drawers, and one roll-out shelf that slides out on its own rails.

♦ Height, 75" vs. 87", both heights are available for all five configurations. Choose 87" for maximum drawer count. Choose 75" when overhead clearance is a constraint.

♦ Starter vs. add-on units: Order one starter unit per row. Add-on units share uprights with adjacent units and cannot stand alone.

Where Commonly Used:

♦ Die and Mold Shops with Large-Format Tooling, die and mold operations storing large punch sets, form tooling, and die components that are both wide and long, use the 42x24 configuration for organized, labeled, full-extension drawer access to components that exceed the capacity of narrower or shallower configurations.

♦ Heavy Industrial Tool Rooms with Wide and Deep Tooling, tool rooms storing large toolholders, boring bars, custom fixtures, and specialty tooling that spans both the lateral and front-to-back dimensions, use the 42" x 24" drawer for the largest available drawer footprint in the standard Rousseau pre-configured lineup.

♦ Aerospace and Defense Large Component Storage, aerospace and defense facilities organizing large, dense components, service kits, and precision instruments in organized 400-pound-capacity drawers. The 42x24 configuration combines width, depth, and load rating to meet the needs of the most demanding storage applications.

♦ Maintenance Departments with Bulk Large Component Inventory, maintenance storerooms managing bulk quantities of larger replacement parts, actuators, valve bodies, large fittings, and equipment sub-assemblies use the 42x24 drawers to hold more per drawer position and reduce the number of drawer positions needed to organize the complete parts inventory.

♦ Multi-Bay Tool Room Row Installations, facilities building multi-bay modular drawer shelving rows for a complete tool room or storeroom. Use the 42x24 configuration as the maximum-footprint option in the Rousseau 42"-wide series, deploying add-on units to extend the row to the full length of the installation space.
