Written by Admin | Jul 5, 2024 1:30:00 PM

Athletics is a big part of our day-to-day lives. Whether you play for a team, coach a team, or a just a big fan; athletics has somehow impacted your life. Having these athletes meet their full potential is always important. This cannot be done if their equipment is breaking and falling apart. Which would happen if it’s not stored properly. Keeping your locker room organized and gear protected is what StoreMoreStore (SMS) is here to help you with.  

Investing in quality sports storage not only protects the gear but also protects the athletes from having a messy, potentially hazardous locker room. It also can allow your athletes to find what they need quickly, allowing them to be more focused and on time than ever before. In this blog, SMS will highlight some of our key athletic storing solutions like athletic shelving, lockers, benches, bike storage, and golf club bag storage 

Shelving

Our shelving systems allow for flexible placement to store your equipment. This mobile shelving turns your messy locker storage area into an organized space where your athletes will know where everything is. These systems are great for storing equipment like football shoulder pads, game day storage cubbies, hanging garments and uniforms, shoe racks, helmet and face mask storage, and equipment that is typically difficult to store. With all these items being stored securely you are guaranteed to see a difference in your locker room space.  

Features: 

  • Shelves are adjustable vertically on 1.5'' increments 
  • Hanging garment rods are adjustable on 1.5'' increments. 
  • Vertical side panels (uprights) are closed metal panels made of 18-gauge posts with 24-gauge panels. 

Lockers

Our athletic lockers are designed to fit your diverse storage needs, with many different styles to choose from. The most common size is the full-size locker, which is big enough to hold all the equipment needed for your sport. Including items such as uniforms, cleats, gloves, and other gear needed.  

Features: 

  • Made of 16-gauge diamond perforated steel body with 18-gauge solid back. 
  • The top and bottom compartments have 14-gauge doors with 16-gauge continuous piano hinges. 
  • All lockers include two single-prong clothes hooks and a .5" hanger rod. 

Benches

At SMS we offer different types of benches for your athletic needs, a standout is our locker room benches. With benchtops crafted from solid hardwood maple, you're ensured both durability and a natural, inviting appearance. 

Features: 

  • Offered in five different pedestal styles including steel, stainless steel, hardwood maple, and lightweight aluminum 
  • Benchtops are finished with one deep penetrating sealer coat and two high-impact hot hydraulically applied lacquer. 

Bike Storage 

Bike storage racks are great for storing and displaying these types of equipment. Perfect for athletic departments and retail stores, these racks help store more in a space-limited area. These also are perfect for apartment centers or condos that are looking to put in some bike storage for their residents. This two-tier design offers a space-saving approach since the overhead space that is not being currently used can be obtained.  

Features: 

  • Racks and wheel trays are constructed of 16-gauge galvanized steel 
  • The bike wheel trays have a teardrop tire slot holding road, racing, and mountain bikes 
  • The racks accommodate any type or size of bicycle except tandems 

There are vertical bike storage racks that are designed to accommodate a substantial quantity of bikes, they are free-standing, giving your company the freedom to place wherever you see fit. There are shelving units above where the bikes hang to store other gear that could be needed.  
Features: 

  • Vertical uprights are open made of 18-gauge posts with 24-gauge metal webbing. 
  • Shelves and bike hooks are adjustable on 1.5" centers 
  • Bike hooks are made of heavy-duty steel construction 

Lastly, you can choose from a wall-mounted bike hanger. This hangs the bikes vertically on walls on a 6’ aircraft-grade cable hook. This way you know your bikes are secure in place on the wall. These hooks also have a security loop for you to place your padlock so you can ensure your bike will be properly stored when you return.  

Features: 

  • The wall brackets are made of heavy-duty 11-gauge (1/8"" thick) steel. 
  • The hanging hook arm projects 5.25’’ from the base and has a vinyl covering to protect bikes from scratching. 

All these options offer to accommodate a substantial number of bikes within as little of a footprint as possible. Allowing you to have options on how your bikes should be securely and properly stored.

Mobile Storage Systems

Here at SMS, these mobile storage systems can be customized to fit the gear that you need to store. This type of mobile storage has benefited many athletic departments since they are able to store more in an organized and customizable fashion. Mobile storage systems can cater to any sport.  

These high-density storage systems work by rolling back and forth on low-profile floor tracks. This saves you space and time, because you no longer must search your equipment and locker rooms for the important items you need. Now they can be organized and safely put away where you and your team will know exactly where to go to locate.  

Benefits of mobile shelving include: 

  • Space-saving design 
  • Organized work environment  
  • Enhanced flexibility and accessibility 
  • Improved storage density 

Golf bag mobile shelving is a great example of one way that these systems can be utilized. These shelving systems can be built with two levels and have fixed racks in the back with sliding shelves to securely store golf bags on both the top and bottom levels. The front units will roll side to side, allowing you to access the bags in the back. 

Features: 

  • Available in two and three row configurations 
  • Each shelf has a weight capacity of at least 335 lbs. with a total shelving unit weight capacity of 1,500 lbs.
