Product Information
Full details
The Treston 550 storage cabinet is an essential organizational solution for industrial workshops and garages, designed for professionals who need quick access to small parts and hardware. Its primary benefit is its high-capacity 32-drawer system featuring clear polystyrene compartments that offer immediate visual identification of contents. However, users should note that this specific model does not include Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) protection, making it unsuitable for environments where sensitive electronic components are handled.

FAQs
Does this cabinet come with dividers for the drawers?
This model features standard drawers as configured; please check your specific kit contents for any included dividers or accessory inserts.
Can I stack multiple Treston 550 units?
Yes, the robust frame design is intended to be stackable in industrial settings; however, always ensure they are secured together to prevent tipping.
Is this cabinet resistant to oils and chemicals?
The polypropylene (PP) frame is generally resistant to most oils and mild industrial chemicals, but avoid direct contact with strong solvents.
What is the weight capacity of each drawer?
While intended for small parts, we recommend not exceeding a reasonable load per drawer to maintain smooth operation of the slide mechanism.
Does this unit provide protection against static electricity?
No, this specific model (550C-3) is not rated for ESD protection. It should not be used in cleanrooms or areas requiring anti-static equipment.
Troubleshooting
Drawers are sticking or difficult to pull out
Check that the cabinet is sitting on a perfectly level surface; distortion of the frame due to uneven placement can cause the internal runners to bind.
Cabinet feels unstable when free-standing
Ensure that the heaviest parts are stored in the bottom drawers to keep the center of gravity low, or secure the unit to the wall using the rear mounting points.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the Treston 550 as a free-standing unit, simply place it on a level, stable surface. If choosing to mount it to a wall, ensure you use appropriate fasteners suitable for your wall type (e.g., masonry anchors or wood screws). The cabinet does not require complex assembly, though it is recommended to distribute the weight of your stored items evenly to maintain balance. For maintenance, clean the frame and drawers using a soft cloth and mild soap. Avoid using harsh chemical solvents or abrasive cleaners on the polystyrene drawers, as these may cause scratching or clouding over time.
