Closed Steel Shelving with Modular Drawers

Industrial Shelving Units with Drawers for Small-Parts Storage

Lyon closed steel shelving with modular drawers puts full-extension drawers for small parts and adjustable shelves for bulkier items in one unit. Steel side and back panels enclose the unit, and each drawer holds up to 400 lbs.

Units come with 3, 5, 7, or 9 modular drawers, measure 36"w x 85"h, and are available in 18" and 24" depths with a Dove Gray powder-coated finish. Each configuration is offered as a starter unit or an add-on that extends a row.

Shelving or Cabinet

Shelving with Modular Drawers vs. Modular Drawer Cabinets

Both store small parts in full-extension drawers rated 400 lbs each. Shelving units mix drawers with shelves in a tall, enclosed frame, while modular drawer cabinets are shorter, all-drawer units.

Choose Shelving with Drawers When:

  • You want drawers and adjustable shelves in the same unit
  • You're building a row with starter and add-on units
  • Your space suits a taller unit at 18" or 24" deep

Choose a Modular Drawer Cabinet When:

  • You want every level to be a drawer
  • You need a shorter cabinet, about 59" tall
  • You want a base that can be moved with a forklift

Need shelves only? Lyon 8000 Series closed shelving offers the same enclosed design with 36" and 48" widths and up to 1,250 lbs per shelf.

Steel Shelving with Drawers: Sizes and Configurations

Every unit in this collection shares the same footprint and finish. The drawer count sets the balance between drawer storage for small parts and open shelf space for larger items.

Specification Options
Drawers per unit 3, 5, 7, or 9
Unit size 36"w x 85"h
Depth 18" or 24"
Drawer capacity Up to 400 lbs per drawer
Unit type Starter or add-on
Finish Dove Gray powder coat

Choose more drawers when most of what you store is small parts, hardware, or components. Choose fewer drawers to keep more shelf space for boxes, bins, and bulkier supplies.

Modular Drawer Storage Features in Every Unit

Each unit is built to keep parts organized, labeled, and easy to reach.

Full-Extension Drawers

Drawers pull all the way out so you can see and reach everything inside.

Partitions and Dividers

Layout kits with adjustable partitions and dividers let you set up compartments to fit your parts.

Labels and Shields

Drawer handles include removable labels and shields so contents are easy to identify.

Four-Bracket Installation

Drawers install with four brackets, and the suspension glide rails lock into place.

Adjustable Shelves

Adjustable shelves hold bulkier items alongside the drawers, so one unit covers both small and large stock.

Enclosed Steel Frame

24-gauge side and back panels enclose each starter unit for a clean, contained look.

Add-On Units Must Be Paired with a Starter

Starter units stand on their own with two welded end uprights and side and back panels. Add-on units include one upright and a back, so they can't be used alone. Plan one starter for each row, then add-ons to extend it, and order add-ons in the same depth as the starter.

How to Choose Shelving with Modular Drawers

Most ordering questions come down to a few decisions. Work through these before adding a unit to your cart.

Check these before you order:

  • Drawer count: Match 3, 5, 7, or 9 drawers to how much of your stock is small parts.
  • Depth: Choose 18" or 24" based on your parts and the aisle space in front of the unit.
  • Height: Confirm your space has room for an 85"h unit.
  • Row length: Measure the full run, then plan one starter plus the add-ons to fill it.
  • Drawer weight: Keep each drawer within its 400 lb rating.
  • Compartments: Plan how you'll set the partitions and dividers in each drawer.
