Shop Setups for Your Industry

Written by Kimball Midwest | January 25, 2024

 

Depending on the industry you’re in, your Kimball Midwest shop setup might look a little different than others. If you are a long-standing customer with us, you’ve probably added many new products or storage solutions over the years.

 

With as many new products we come out with each year, it’s a perfect time to reevaluate your current Kimball Midwest setup. What’s working and what isn’t? What does it need?

 

Our sales representatives who service customers in industries such as automotive and heavy equipment know what does or doesn’t work to keep customers up and running at their ultimate efficiency.

 

Kimball Midwest listened to this feedback and focused on how our storage solutions could benefit these customers. Take a look below to see the new and improved Shop Setups and add-ons for industries that need a little extra support from Kimball Midwest.

 

Heavy Equipment Shop Setups

Our Heavy Equipment Shop Setup includes essential products needed when dealing with vehicles and equipment used for construction, agriculture, transportation and more.

 

It’s a perfect base setup to start, but if you already have a heavy equipment setup and just need a little refresh, we’ve got you covered. Our six new add-ons can fit into any shop with special needs, providing a selection of products common in applications from agriculture to trucking industries, and more.

Automotive Shop Setups
