The storage cabinet, which is usually a lattice cabinet with different quantities, is mainly used in large supermarkets, office buildings, gymnasiums, entertainment places, gyms, swimming pools, clubs, saunas, schools, libraries, government departments and other public places so that users can deposit items. It was originally imported from Japan and imported into Taiwan, and it began to appear and gradually applied to the Chinese mainland in 1999. With the continuous development of China's economy and science and technology, great changes have taken place in the deposit cabinet. Today, I will show you the evolution and history of the deposit cabinet in recent decades!

Classify Storage Cabinets According to Materials

The first generation of storage cabinets is wooden storage cabinets, which have been used for hundreds of years since their earliest use. This kind of wooden storage cabinet is mainly made of solid wood or composite board, so it has the disadvantages of easy cracking, moth-eaten, non-waterproof and easy corrosion. Therefore, it is rarely seen in the market and is only used on some occasions with a good environment now.

The second-generation storage cabinet is a metal storage cabinet, which is a steel storage cabinet with a sheet metal forming process. It is strong, durable, not afraid of moths and not easy to deform. Once it is on the market, it has replaced a large part of the market of wooden storage cabinets. However, this kind of storage cabinet also has the disadvantages of easy paint falling, rust and scratch, and the packaging and transportation cost is high.
