Industrial Roller Shutter Module Series 90 | DEA WorkLab | UK

Maximise storage accessibility in space-constrained workshops with the DEA WorkLab Industrial Module featuring a roller shutter door. This Series 90 height cabinet delivers the generous storage capacity of a traditional cupboard while eliminating the door swing clearance that conventional hinged doors demand—a significant advantage in busy workshop environments where every centimetre of floor space matters.

Manufactured in Italy by DEA, Europe's foremost workshop furniture specialist, this module demonstrates the innovative engineering approach that has made DEA the trusted choice for prestige automotive manufacturers and demanding industrial operations across the globe.

The roller shutter operates on precision guide rails integrated into the cabinet's side panels. When opened, the shutter retracts smoothly upward into a compact housing at the top of the cabinet, disappearing entirely from the access opening. Unlike hinged doors that swing outward into walkways or sliding doors that obstruct half the opening, the roller shutter provides full-width access to the entire cabinet interior while requiring zero external clearance space.

This space-efficient design proves particularly valuable when cabinets are positioned in narrow aisles, adjacent to workbenches, near vehicle service bays, or in any location where door swing would create obstructions or safety hazards. The shutter can be opened and closed in confined spaces where conventional doors simply cannot operate.

The Series 90 height positions this module ideally for under-bench installation or as a standalone storage unit where full-height cabinets would be impractical. The compact vertical dimension allows placement beneath work surfaces, in vehicle service pits, or in areas with height restrictions while still providing substantial secure storage capacity.

Heavy-gauge steel construction with fully welded joints creates the rigid framework essential for supporting the roller shutter mechanism throughout years of demanding workshop use. The signature anthracite grey polyester powder coating provides comprehensive protection against workshop chemicals, oils, and mechanical wear.

The Roller Shutter Advantage

Traditional cabinet doors create unavoidable challenges in busy workshop environments. Hinged doors swing outward, demanding clearance space that may not exist and creating potential collision hazards with passing personnel, equipment, or vehicles. Sliding doors solve the swing problem but typically obstruct half the cabinet opening, limiting access to contents.

The roller shutter eliminates both compromises:

Zero Clearance Required: The shutter retracts vertically into the cabinet body. No floor space in front of the cabinet is consumed when opening or closing the door. Position cabinets hard against workbenches, in narrow walkways, or adjacent to vehicle service bays without concern for door swing.

Full-Width Access: When open, the entire cabinet face is accessible. There's no door panel blocking half the opening as with sliding alternatives. Retrieve large items, rearrange contents, or conduct visual inventory without obstruction.

Collision Safety: In busy workshops with moving personnel, trolleys, and vehicles, protruding door panels create collision risks. The roller shutter stays contained within the cabinet footprint whether open or closed, eliminating this hazard entirely.

Operational Convenience: The shutter can be opened to any position—partially for quick access or fully for complete visibility. It stays where positioned without swinging closed or requiring a prop.

Series 90: Compact Versatility

The Series 90 height designation indicates this module's compact vertical dimension, opening installation possibilities unavailable to taller cabinet formats:

Under-Bench Integration: Position the module beneath workbench surfaces, providing organised storage directly at the workstation without consuming additional floor space. Tools and supplies remain within arm's reach while the work surface above remains clear for tasks.

Height-Restricted Areas: Some workshop zones feature ceiling constraints, overhead services, or structural elements that preclude full-height cabinets. The Series 90 fits comfortably in these spaces while still delivering substantial storage capacity.

Vehicle Service Pits: The compact height suits installation within service pit configurations, keeping tools and supplies accessible at the working level rather than requiring repeated trips up from the pit.

Stacking Configurations: Series 90 modules can be combined with other DEA components in vertical arrangements, building storage systems tailored to specific height requirements.
