LISTA storage systems keep you on the go

Tools and spare parts are the lifeblood of operational reliability. While technicians strive to reduce downtime, if they spend precious minutes searching for the right replacement parts in inefficient parts storage then, despite their best efforts, many thousands of pounds in production and labour will be lost.

Whether land, sea or air - no transport maintenance facility can operate at a high level of output without a reliable supply of functional spare parts and tools.  LISTA, the leading manufacturer of storage solutions, offers high quality, modular storage and workspace systems for the transport industry. The comprehensive product range includes: mobile cabinets, drawer cabinets, toolboxes and workstations for on-site repairs, shelving and racking and industrial quality workbenches.

LISTA works with customers to design practical workshop areas to allow engineers easy access to tools, parts, and other equipment. The product range also includes mobile tool cabinets for rolling out precision tools directly to the point of repair giving engineers access to everything they need. LISTA’s customised drawer partitions and dividers means as the menu of parts and tools changes, engineers can easily reconfigure the drawers to meet their specific requirements.

The extensive range of workspace and storage solutions optimises efficiency and productivity. Workshop areas also benefit from the clean, organised and professional appearance that comes from LISTA’s contemporary product design. Our products are fully scalable and adaptable to suit new and evolving requirements, thanks to their systematic modularity.

In an industry where the need for storage is endless, LISTA offers racking and shelving for even the heaviest and most awkwardly sized parts. LISTA’s heavy duty pull-out shelving is the ideal solution for oversized and heavy parts and has been specially designed to sustain heavy loads up to 1000kg and accommodate objects of different heights.

For many companies storage systems are not high on the priority list but they are a major factor when it comes to site safety and saving money. “When someone is spending time unnecessarily searching for parts and tools then there is both a productivity and financial impact”, said Marco van der Linden. “Making the commitment to review a company’s storage systems may seem like an unnecessary chore, however, investing in a reliable system from the outset will mean that faster jobs translate into less downtime”. Time is money so when items are allocated an individual and identifiable location, retrieval is made easier. A condensed and organised parts and storage area can also mean reduced travel times and faster pick rates.

Health and Safety is also a major consideration and a risk assessment will identify any hazards caused by the storage of goods. Companies can then implement precautions to ensure all risks are minimised. Any assessments must be reviewed regularly as storage needs change and evolve.

Things are slowly changing and many companies within the transport industry are now recognising that a well-designed workshop means a more efficient and productive workflow. Whether it’s the rail or aviation industry or the management of a fleet of lorries, taxis or buses– the benefits of having an organised system far outweigh the possible productivity and financial impact in the future.
