FAQs
Does this ventilated-door rigging cabinet require assembly after delivery?
No. This cabinet ships fully assembled from Louisville, KY and is ready to use immediately upon delivery. No on-site assembly is required.
Where is this cabinet manufactured?
This cabinet is manufactured by Strong Hold in Louisville, KY, using American-made 12-gauge steel. Strong Hold designs, engineers, and fabricates all rigging cabinets at its Louisville facility.
What is the lead time for this cabinet?
The typical lead time is 4 weeks from order. These cabinets are manufactured to order and generally take approximately 10 days to manufacture before shipment.
What is the purpose of the ventilated doors?
The ventilated door panels use a diamond or hex perforation pattern that serves two functions. First, they allow airflow through the cabinet, which helps prevent moisture buildup and corrosion on stored rigging gear — especially important for slings and chains that may be damp after use. Second, the perforated pattern provides interior visibility without opening the doors, allowing supervisors or inspectors to verify gear status at a glance while the cabinet remains locked.
Are the ventilated doors still secure?
Yes. The ventilated doors lock with the same 3-point locking system used on all Strong Hold rigging cabinets. The perforation pattern allows airflow and visibility but does not compromise physical security. The cabinet supports a standard padlock or optional electronic lock upgrade.
What interior storage features does this cabinet include?
This cabinet features short and long hangers inside that accommodate different lengths of rigging gear. The combination of hanger lengths lets you organize shorter slings and straps alongside longer chains and wire rope in the same unit. At 90 inches tall, this is the tallest rigging cabinet configuration in the line, providing additional vertical hanging space.
Why is this model taller than other rigging cabinets?
At 90 inches tall, this ventilated-door cabinet stands 12 inches taller than the standard 78-inch hook-style models. The additional height accommodates the short and long hanger configuration and provides more vertical clearance for longer rigging gear. Verify that your ceiling clearance and doorway heights can accommodate the 90-inch height before ordering.
What types of rigging equipment can be stored in this cabinet?
This cabinet is designed to store chains, chain slings, wire rope slings, synthetic web slings, straps, belts, and tie-downs on the interior hangers. The ventilated design is particularly well-suited for gear that may retain moisture after use, as the airflow helps equipment dry and prevents mildew and corrosion during storage.
Is this cabinet suitable for outdoor use?
No. This 12-gauge powder-coated steel cabinet is designed for indoor industrial use only. While the ventilated doors provide airflow, they also allow moisture and contaminants to enter the cabinet in outdoor conditions. For outdoor storage requirements, contact Barron Equipment to discuss corrosion-resistant options.
What is the return policy on this cabinet?
Barron Equipment offers refunds within 30 days of the invoice date. Products returned for reasons other than warranty correction are subject to a 50% restocking fee plus freight charges incurred by Barron Equipment. Custom-specified products and clearance items are excluded from returns.
Are bulk purchasing discounts available?
Yes. Bulk purchasing discounts are available. Contact Barron Equipment using the form on the product page or via LiveChat to discuss pricing for multiple units.
How does this ventilated-door model compare to the hook-style cabinets?
The hook-style cabinets use solid doors and adjustable hooks (28, 40, or 52 depending on width) to hang gear inside a fully enclosed cabinet. The ventilated-door model uses perforated door panels with short and long hangers instead of adjustable hooks. Choose the ventilated-door model if airflow around damp gear and visual inspection without opening the doors are priorities for your operation. Choose a hook-style model if maximum hook count and a fully enclosed interior are more important.
Does this cabinet support OSHA 1926.251 compliance?
This cabinet is designed to help facilities maintain compliance with OSHA 1926.251, which requires rigging equipment to be removed from the immediate work area when not in use and inspected prior to each shift. The ventilated door panels allow visual gear verification without breaking the lock, making pre-shift inspection faster. The 3-point locking system secures equipment against unauthorized access. This cabinet does not certify OSHA compliance — compliance obligations remain with the employer.
Is this cabinet available in a different color?
Yes. This cabinet is available in 12 powder-coat color options including Dark Gray, Dusty Gray, Black, White, Brown, Beige, Blue, Red, Orange, Yellow, Light Blue, and Teal. Select your preferred color from the dropdown on the product page.
