SANDUSKY
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about SANDUSKY from 3G Electric.
What is the difference between a Sandusky industrial combination cabinet and a commercial shelf cabinet?
Sandusky industrial combination cabinets typically include both shelf storage and a wardrobe section with hanging rods, making them suitable for mixed storage of tools and personal items. Commercial shelf cabinets are designed primarily for shelf storage and may have different panel gauges or locking options. Both are welded-steel construction with powder-coated finishes. The choice depends on whether hanging space is needed and the required level of security, as some models offer three-point locking while others use keyed locks.
What locking options are available on Sandusky cabinets?
Sandusky cabinets are available with keyed locks or three-point locking systems. Keyed locks use a single locking point and are common on models such as the EACR362472-01. Three-point locking systems engage the door at three points—top, bottom, and side—for increased security and are found on models like the EACR462472-06. The handle style may be recessed or swing, depending on the model. Lock type is specified in the product part number and should be selected based on the required security level.
Are Sandusky cabinets shipped assembled?
Many Sandusky cabinets are supplied assembled, which reduces on-site installation time. For example, the commercial shelf cabinet SKU 882HU5 is noted as assembled. However, some models or configurations may require minor assembly, such as attaching handles or shelves. It is advisable to confirm the assembly status for the specific model before ordering, as this can affect receiving and installation planning.
What sizes are available in the Sandusky cabinet range?
Sandusky cabinets are available in multiple sizes, with common dimensions including 36 x 18 x 72 inches, 36 x 24 x 72 inches, and 46 x 24 x 72 inches. Widths typically range from 36 to 46 inches, depths from 18 to 24 inches, and heights around 72 inches. Shelf counts vary, often with three adjustable shelves and one fixed shelf. The part number usually encodes the dimensions, so buyers can select the size that fits their space and storage volume requirements.
Can Sandusky cabinets be made mobile?
Some Sandusky storage products are available with mobility options, such as dollies or casters. The product line includes dollies that can be used to move loaded cabinets or shelving units. Additionally, certain cabinet models may be specified with a mobile base. Mobility should be confirmed by the part number or product description, as not all cabinets are designed for movement when loaded. For stationary applications, frame bases are standard.
What panel gauge is used in Sandusky industrial cabinets?
Sandusky industrial cabinets commonly use 22-gauge steel panels, as seen in models like the EACR362472-01 and EACR462472-01. Panel gauge affects the durability and rigidity of the cabinet, with lower gauge numbers indicating thicker steel. The 22-gauge specification is suitable for general industrial storage. For heavier-duty applications, buyers should review the load capacity and construction details of specific models, as gauge may vary across the product range.
