Vol. 291: Secure storage for the Air Force

Saving space and keeping frequently-used tools accessible

In the U.S. Air Force, lives depend on well-maintained planes. To securely store commonly used tools, parts, and supplies, the Support Section Chief at an Air Maintenance Unit wanted to set up a cage in the supply room near the exit door to the runway.

Space was a problem, though: the cage would need to extend out into the room, about three feet beyond the outer edge of the shelving.

Instead of a cage, the Spacesaver solution securely stores crucial tools and supplies while taking up half the space that a cage would require to store the same items.Get the details!
