Stor-Loc tool cabinets are built so tough that you can stand in them. They’re assembled from 100% U.S.-made components, right down to the screws that hold them together. The company is so confident in the strength of the cabinets that they come with a 55-year warranty.
“When we display them at shows, we’ll pull out drawers and stand in them,” says Jeff Lanoue, Stor-Loc. “The drawers have a 400-lb. rating. I’m a 260-lb. guy, and when I climb up in one, people go, ‘Wow!’”
Plenty of people have seen Lanoue and other employees demonstrate the drawer’s strength. The company markets to farmers, automotive companies, and other industries and exhibits at around 80 shows a year.
Other features they emphasize include all MIG welded corners, steel ball bearings, heat-treated steel rollers and modular drawers for custom designs. If a customer wonders why the company offers a 55-year warranty, Lanoue has the answer. “The company’s owner came up with that,” says Lanoue. “He figures if a young guy buys a cabinet when he comes out of high school, he’ll use it for at least 55 years.”
Stor-Loc products come in a wide array of sizes and combinations, from tool cabinets and welding tables to workbenches and supply storage. “We’re in a lot of factories,” says Lanoue. “They’ll have us redo an entire section with new cabinets. Tool cabinets are our most popular products with farmers.”
The popular MM line of cabinets starts at $3,500 for the MM1, which is 60 in. wide, 30 in. deep, 38 in. high and has eight drawers. The MM15, which has 21 drawers and is 96 in. wide by 30 in. deep and 43 in. high, tops out at $8,000.
Mobile welding tables start at $2,500 with the Weld-Stor 1. This model has a single drawer and MIG holders at each corner. It’s 48 in. wide, 36 in. deep and 37 in. high.
Stor-Loc products are available directly from the company or can be ordered at a show.
