How to safely store multiple Fire Extinguishers

Fire Extinguisher Storage Rack

Over the last 30 years, I have visited hundreds of customer shops and job sites. The progress we have made in making our industrial work environments safer has been significant. Blue Steel is proud of our part in helping our customers make their workspaces safe and more organized and efficient.
We developed our fire extinguisher rack to reduce the trip hazard with emptied or outdated bottles lying around the property. The extinguishers could also be mistaken for a charged unit if a fire erupted.

We spoke to plant managers, safety supervisors, maintenance managers, and others, we developed our plan for the perfect fire extinguisher rack.

1.  The Fire Extinguisher Rack must hold multiple bottles; this makes the accumulation of expired, discharged, and empty fire extinguishers organized and effective.
2.  Forklift access makes transporting empty extinguishers to a refill location, and full extinguishers for distribution in large yards or facilities a snap.
3.  Heavy Duty fabrication and durability, we fabricated our first units almost 20 years ago and are still in use. Our Industry Standard steel fabrication and zinc-rich primed and powder-coated finish provides a product   suitable for any commercial or industrial facility.

Have you ever used your shoe as a vice? You know, using your foot to hold something in place while twisting a wrench or using a hammer? How about while 5 feet high, on a running board that is only 24″ wide, with oily shoes, in a snowstorm, okay, I got carried away.

The point is with some thoughtful planning, we were able to remove three slip fall hazards and several motions for a safer and more efficient process in the shop with this new tool.

Industrial Grade Steel Shop Carts

We all have had the “cheap junk” thought about something we have purchased, maybe you’ve had that thought this week?  All the talk about the “throw-away” society has been around for decades, nothing new to see here.

My experience this week was a little different, I was visiting a customer facility for a new project when I ran into this product.   It sure looks used, and it should, it has survived over 8 years of use at a locomotive repair shop.  Do you know any railroaders?  If you do you know, it is a harsh environment, no not the people, the work is hard and everything is heavy.  Photo from November 2019

Now here is the photo from August 2011, the same casters, same paint job, a lot shinier.  This is a great example of the value of a product.  Anything that survives 8 years in a locomotive repair shop is doing pretty good.  Blue Steel had strived for many years to provide an “Industrial Grade” product for our customers.

It sounds silly but when I saw that beat-up old cart, I just smiled.
