Key Features

• Bi-fold design - doors open to just 450mm depth, saving space in corridors, stairwells, and tight work areas.
• Six welded shelves - maximum storage capacity with robust, fixed shelving throughout.
• Hasp and staple padlock points - use your own padlocks for flexible security without the need for keys.
• Built-in handles - ergonomic grab handles for easier manoeuvring around site.
• Six heavy-duty 6" castors - three castors per cabinet section, with swivel-braked wheels for stability and mobility.
• Forklift skids - integrated pockets allow transportation via forklift or pallet truck.
• Powder-coated finish - durable coating (available in black-grey or traffic red) provides weather and corrosion resistance.
• Widest storage footprint - offers the largest internal volume when space is not a constraint.

Suitable Applications

The FC5 is designed for M&E contractors working in confined spaces where standard cabinet doors would obstruct access. Its bi-fold mechanism allows the unit to be opened and used in corridors, stairwells, plant rooms, and narrow work areas without blocking passage. With six welded shelves, it offers the highest storage density in the FittingStor range, making it ideal for large-scale fit-out projects with substantial fittings inventory.

How to Use the FittingStor FC5

1. Position the FittingStor on a flat, even surface and engage all castor brakes before loading.
2. Open the bi-fold doors by releasing the padlocks and folding each door section inward.
3. Load heavier items on lower shelves first, ensuring weight is evenly distributed across both cabinet sections.
4. Close the bi-fold doors and secure with padlocks (not supplied) before leaving the unit unattended.
5. To relocate, unlock all castor brakes and use the built-in handles to wheel the unit, or use a forklift via the integrated skids.

Important: The FC5 requires specific castor placement - three castors per cabinet section in opposite-facing triangles. Refer to the installation manual for correct setup.
