A missing wrench can slow down a repair. A misplaced component can delay a vehicle. An overcrowded parts room can turn a five-minute retrieval into a frustrating search.
In a military Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) operation, storage isn't simply about finding a place to put things. It is about helping technicians find the right tool, repair part, component or piece of equipment when the mission requires it.
Spacesaver Storage Solutions designs military maintenance and MRO storage systems that help organize tools, repair parts, consumables, components and maintenance equipment while making better use of valuable facility space.
From a military tool crib and motor pool to an aircraft maintenance facility, parts warehouse or installation maintenance shop, we can create a storage system around the equipment you actually need to store.
More organization. Faster access. Better use of space. Mission-ready storage.
Maintenance operations don't have the luxury of wasting time searching through overcrowded shelves, mismatched bins or disorganized cabinets.
Your technicians need to know where things are.
Our military MRO storage solutions can organize everything from nuts, bolts, fittings and electrical components to hand tools, power tools, replacement assemblies and bulky maintenance equipment.
Depending on the application, a military maintenance storage system can incorporate:
Instead of forcing your operation to fit a generic shelving system, Spacesaver Storage Solutions can help configure the storage around inventory, workflow, available square footage and access requirements.
A maintenance shop can contain thousands of individual parts.
Fasteners. Bearings. Hydraulic fittings. Electrical connectors. Filters. Hoses. Replacement components. Consumables. Specialized repair parts.
When all those items compete for space, organization becomes critical.
A properly designed military parts storage system gives maintenance personnel a defined location for inventory and makes frequently used items easier to identify and retrieve.
Your parts room shouldn't look like the place where spare parts go to disappear.
Make every component easier to find.
Tools are valuable. Technician time is valuable. Maintenance space is valuable.
Your storage system should protect all three.
Spacesaver Storage Solutions can design military tool storage and military tool crib systems that create dedicated locations for hand tools, power tools, diagnostic equipment, specialty tooling and maintenance supplies.
Rousseau modular cabinets are an excellent option for military maintenance environments where a large number of tools and parts need to fit into a relatively compact footprint.
Drawer interiors can be configured to organize different sizes and types of equipment, helping technicians quickly identify and access what they need.
Applications include:
Rather than storing air between shelves, modular drawers allow maintenance teams to make better use of the entire cabinet.
Storage doesn't have to stop at the parts room.
Rousseau workbenches and workstations can combine work surfaces, drawers, shelving, overhead storage and tool organization into a technician-centered workspace.
Configurations can be developed for:
The result is a workstation where the tools and components required for the job can be located close to the technician instead of scattered throughout the shop.
Aircraft Maintenance Storage
Aircraft maintenance demands organization, accessibility and careful use of space.
Spacesaver Storage Solutions offers aircraft maintenance storage systems for tools, replacement parts, components, support equipment and flight-related gear.
Storage solutions can include:
Keep tools, precision equipment and smaller aircraft components organized and protected.
Consolidate parts and supplies while reducing the amount of floor space dedicated to fixed storage aisles.
Organize larger components, containers and maintenance equipment.
Create dedicated areas for repair, inspection, testing and component preparation.
Take advantage of facility height to organize parts vertically rather than allowing inventory to spread across valuable floor space.
When aircraft availability matters, the maintenance storage system should support the people responsible for keeping those aircraft ready.
Vehicle Maintenance & Motor Pool Storage
Military vehicles require a tremendous variety of repair parts, tools and consumables.
That can turn a motor pool parts area into organized chaos—without the organized part.
Our military vehicle maintenance storage solutions can help support maintenance operations for vehicle fleets and ground-support equipment by creating dedicated storage for:
A combination of shelving, cabinets, bins, workstations and high-density storage can turn an overcrowded maintenance area into a more efficient parts and repair environment.
Sometimes the problem isn't the amount of inventory.
It's the aisles.
Traditional stationary shelving requires permanent access aisles between rows. High-density mobile storage places shelving or racking on movable carriages so multiple unnecessary fixed aisles can be replaced by an access aisle that opens where needed.
For military maintenance operations, high-density storage can be used for:
Spacesaver ActivRAC® mobile storage systems can also provide solutions for heavier industrial applications where traditional shelving simply isn't enough.
That means you may be able to increase storage capacity without automatically increasing the building footprint.
Not everything fits in a drawer.
Military maintenance facilities also need storage for heavy, bulky and irregularly shaped equipment.
Spacesaver Storage Solutions can incorporate heavy-duty shelving, mobile racking and industrial storage systems into an MRO facility to accommodate larger repair parts and equipment.
This approach is particularly valuable in:
Storage can be planned around both the dimensions of the equipment and the way personnel need to retrieve it.
Secure Military MRO Storage
Some maintenance inventory requires more control than an open shelf can provide.
Locking cabinets, controlled storage areas, wire partitions and secure storage configurations can help create defined locations for valuable tools, sensitive components and controlled equipment.
Security can be incorporated into the overall storage design rather than treated as an afterthought.
The best storage system isn't necessarily the one with the most shelving.
It's the one that makes the entire maintenance operation work better.
Spacesaver Storage Solutions can evaluate:
From tiny fasteners to large vehicle and aircraft components.
Frequently picked inventory should be positioned differently from long-term or slow-moving stock.
Storage can be organized around technicians, parts personnel, maintenance teams and operational workflows.
We look at the entire cube—not simply the available floor.
Modular storage solutions can help accommodate changing inventories, equipment and mission requirements.
The goal is a maintenance environment where storage supports the workflow instead of getting in its way.
