Heavy-Duty Open Racking
Systems for Labs
“Maximum accessibility, industrial-grade strength, organizational clarity.”
Efficient inventory management in busy laboratories requires more than just cupboards — it demands robust, accessible, and high-capacity storage. Metrolabs designs and manufactures Heavy-Duty Open Racks (Slotted Angle Racks) specifically engineered to handle the substantial weight of laboratory consumables, bulk chemical containers, and heavy analytical equipment. These racking systems offer a critical balance of raw structural strength and organizational visibility.
Metrolabs Open Racks — Built for Every Lab
Five product views — from compact under-counter units to full-scale bulk storage configurations:
Purpose-Built for Professional Labs
A standard storage rack is not built for the demands of a professional laboratory environment. Our open racks are purpose-built to withstand the rigors of your facility:
Robust GI Construction
Crafted from high-grade Galvanized Iron (GI) sheets. The vertical slotted angles provide exceptional structural rigidity, preventing buckling under heavy loads.
Corrosion-Resistant Epoxy Finish
Every component is finished with an advanced epoxy powder coating — a durable barrier against accidental chemical spills, moisture, and wear for long-term performance.
Superior Weight Capacity
Designed to support bulky and heavy items — ideal for storing multiple tiers of reagent bottles, equipment parts, and bulk packaging without structural compromise.
The Right Tier Count for Your Storage Zone
We provide flexibility in the number of storage levels to match your specific laboratory inventory requirements:
2-Tier Rack
Ideal for under-counter placement or localized point-of-use storage — keeping frequently accessed items within arm’s reach without consuming valuable aisle space.
4-Tier Rack
The most popular laboratory configuration — provides four clearly defined inventory zones for glassware, bottles, equipment parts, and safety supplies.
5-Tier Rack
Maximum vertical utilization for comprehensive bulk storage zones — perfect for large-scale inventory areas, chemical stores, and warehouse-style lab back rooms.
Adjustable Shelf Spacing
The Slotted Angle design allows for easy vertical shelf adjustments, permitting you to tailor the spacing between tiers to accommodate items of varying heights — from tall bottles to flat equipment trays.
Scalable Modular Design
Units can be seamlessly connected to form long, continuous racking runs for large bulk storage areas, maximizing your floor space utilization without structural gaps.
Color-Coded Storage for a Professional Environment
While engineered for raw functionality, our racks contribute to a safe and professional laboratory environment. We offer vibrant color-coding options to categorize different inventory zones or match your brand identity:
Ivory or White frame with Blue, Yellow, Green, Red, or Orange contrast fronts — applied using high-quality powder coating techniques for a durable, long-lasting finish.
