RandMH.com also sells a wide variety of Edsal storage cabinets for flammable and corrosive liquids that are NFPA and OSHA compliant.

Trust your Edsal storage cabinets distributor for sturdy storage solutions

If you need a storage cabinet that is sturdy but you're not planning to light it on fire, consider purchasing a heavy duty Edsal steel cabinet.

I recommend: A Plus Warehouse sells Edsal steel storage cabinets with removable bins, perfect for storing or organizing parts or other valuable equipment that will fit in the bins. C&H offers their very practical standard industrial steel cabinets. Their 225-lb capacity steel shelves are adjustable and seat firmly in a welded steel frame, so they won't sag. Enclosed bases, three point locks and a sturdy powder coat finish make these durable storage choices for industrial equipment both large and small.
