Gladiator® GarageWorks today unveiled a new Three Drawer Cabinet to its popular ready to assemble garage organization line, answering consumer demand for additional new and innovative entry level garage storage solutions. This new addition, which was unveiled at the International Builders Show, will help homeowners cut down on garage clutter and give do-it-yourselfers and garage enthusiasts the opportunity to separate tools by type or frequency of use.

The stylish new Three Drawer Cabinet includes three 8.75" tall drawers that add more functional storage space. And it's tough, just like the sometimes-harsh conditions in your garage. The three drawer cabinet was rated to 300 pounds of weight based on lab tests at 1200 pounds in -30 degrees and 150 degrees.

The product is also very versatile; it can be used in conjunction with the line's 18" VersaTop ™ Work Surface and the Steel Modular GearBox to form the ideal garage workstation. The Three Drawer Cabinet's drawers are the perfect size for medium sized items such as hand saws and drills, yet they can still neatly accommodate smaller items such as drill bits and hand tools. This product also answers the consumer's request for more drawer space for its compact functionality, as opposed to cabinets.

"Our Gladiator brand team focuses on keeping ahead of the game for developing garage products that will give do-it-yourselfers as many options for organizing their garage as possible," noted Michele Savalox, Gladiator® GarageWorks senior marketing manager. "Understanding that weekend warriors need the ability to personalize their garage space to their needs, we feel the Three Drawer Cabinet is a great addition to the ready to assemble line up."

When combined with the new Three Drawer Cabinet, the popular 18" VersaTop™ Work Surface joins two base cabinets together to create a large work area. It then becomes mobile by adding the optional casters allowing you the option to take your work station to your project. When combined with the Gladiator® wall storage systems of GearWall® Panels or GearTrack® Channels, hooks, baskets, and bins, they create a comprehensive storage solution that reduces clutter and gets items in your garage up off the floor and into the applicable Gladiator® Storage Solution.

Gladiator Brand Ready To Assemble Cabinets

The new Gladiator ready to assemble line provides the entry point into the Gladiator system for cabinets constructed of steel. The cabinets have the same family look of the original premier line and incorporate the same hammered granite powder-coat paint finish on the cabinet and Tread Plate steel on the door and drawer fronts. The main difference is that the cabinets come unassembled allowing for presentation at retail outlets and easy transport home from the store. The ready to assemble line is made up of a wall cabinet, base cabinet with one large drawer and two doors, and a tall cabinet. The wall cabinet provides an open shelf at the bottom with an access hole for electrical cords making it possible to get radios and power tool battery chargers up out of way while still allowing easy access. Both the wall and tall cabinets can be hung on Gladiator® GearTrack® Channels and GearWall® Panels, making installation on the wall quick and easy.
