BAC High Density Drawer Storage Cabinets are widely recognised across Australia as one of the most space-efficient solutions for storing small-to-medium spare parts. Frequently, BAC customers ask for guidance on how best to configure their warehouse or stores area using BAC Drawer Storage systems.

The BAC Systems Legacy

At the time of writing, BAC Systems has been manufacturing industrial storage solutions in Australia for nearly 49 years. Over these five decades, our Australian design team has developed many dedicated Tool Storage Solutions for thousands of customers who value bespoke, high-quality equipment. The modularity of the BAC range is the foundation of this personalised approach.

By pooling this extensive experience, we have created the ultimate flexible Tool Display Storage option, favoured by industrial workshops, commercial stores, and home garages alike: The BAC Panel System.

Q. What are the Factors to Consider when Designing a New Workshop Layout

A. The factors to consider when designing a new workshop layout are workflow, available floor space, available volume and inventory.

Renowned for its award-winning range of High Density Drawers and Industrial Shelving, the BAC Modular Storage Cabinet System also includes a comprehensive selection of auxiliary modular hanging storage solutions.

High-density drawer storage cabinets offer superior volumetric efficiency and access compared to traditional shelving for small and medium parts, often tripling storage capacity within the same footprint.

A common belief in spare parts warehousing is that boxes on shelves provide better visibility of parts than high-density drawer storage with partitions.
In practice, this is a myth—one that continues largely due to habit rather than measurable performance.
This article explains why partitioned drawers offer superior parts visibility, faster picking, and dramatically better space utilisation.

BAC Modular Workshop and Storage Equipment can be configured to suit most lean manufacturing scenarios, offering flexibility and durability. Modularity is a key element of this: allowing you to configure your workplace furniture, such as workbenches, spare parts storage, or tool storage, to eliminate any waste of space, to maximise the efficiency of your workflow, to remain flexible in order to allow ongoing improvement and optimisation, and to permit the highest levels of accuracy and order thus avoiding over-production.

Perhaps the most versatile industrial drawer in the world, BAC Systems Drawers can be configured with adjustable partitioning for small parts storage, with plastic bins to hold tiny components, with Toolclips and Toolbars for tool storage, and many other options.

High-Density Hydraulic Hose Storage Systems for Faster, Safer Workshops

At BAC Systems, this single principle guides our complete outlook on Hose Maniufacturing Workshop Storage:
store the maximum uncut hydraulic hose as close as possible to the cut-off saw.

By reducing the distance between hose storage and hose cutting, hydraulic workshops gain measurable improvements in efficiency, throughput, safety, and floor space utilisation. For many customers, simply rethinking hose storage layout results in faster hose assembly and less reliance on forklifts or manual handling.

BAC Systems is an Australian manufacturer of a refined, yet famously durable drawer storage system. BAC Drawer are best used when Drawer Partitions and Dividers are holding your stock of parts or tools in their correct locations. This concept is simple, but there are many fine details which the engineers at BAC Systems have incorporated into their market-leading BAC Dividers.

A durable workbench requires a durable benchtop. BAC Systems offers different durable benchtops for different environments and applications. Each is supplied with anchors and fasteners to mount them securely upon their stands or the cabinets provided.

Q. How much space do drawer storage cabinets save, compared to boxes on shelves, in a spare parts store?

A. When set-up properly, Drawer Storage Cabinets from BAC Systems can regularly save two thirds of your floor space, for medium-large parts stores storing items up to 2 litres in volume.
