Rolling Storage Bins  

Rolling storage bins are practical solutions if you have a lot of related items that need to be accessible. The bins may be stackable, tilt or pull out. They can be used in different areas of your home for any number of different sized items. You will find them in metals, plastics and various woods and finishes. 

Being stacked or in wide frames, they make optimum use of any available space. Since there are so many shapes and styles, colors and materials, they make welcome additions no matter the decor of the rooms they will be added to. Bin-type storage works especially well in children's rooms and play areas because they are easy for the child to see the contents and to find their favorite toys.

For instance, Sourcing Solutions' offers the "3 Piece Stacking Bins on Wheels." These are large open bins that can be taken off with the built-in handles and carried. The bottom bin includes wheels so the whole unit can be rolled out of the way when playtime is over. These units are available in white, blue, red and pink painted composite wood. These are sturdy, space-saving storage solutions and will make it very easy for your children to store and find their favorite toys and books. Along the same lines, Suncast makes a 12-gallon bin with built-in wheels and lids that will securely close with built-in clasps. These can be stacked as well to make optimum use of the space available. Whether used for stuffed animals, doll collections or maybe storing unused toys to be brought out later to replace the ones currently used, these bins will make storage simple. 

Know too that there are many storage bins for children that feature their favorite cartoon and movie characters, or in sport themes with any number of brightly colored bins that will be easy for them to handle and access. Some of these are designed so the bins can be tilted forward and not have to be removed and some will come with covers. A great alternative for children to begin to learn to organize and encourage them to pick up after themselves. 

Think about shoes for a moment. How does the idea of storing 18 pairs of shoes in the same floor space it takes for 3 pair sound to you? Jobar offers the "Rolling Canvas Shoe Bin" that is made of a wooden frame with 18 canvas bins that can be rolled in and out of a closet. Since all the shoes are visible, finding the right pair for the evening or a long walk will be right there for the taking. 

Moving to the problem of storing and organizing the numberous odds and ends and nuts and bolts or our lives. If you are an active do-it-yourself type of person, RRT is a company that has a one-time solution for most folks. Made of a heavy-duty steel frame with 3 sizes of bins arranged on both sides, this will hold up to 450 pounds. Since it is mounted on a broad base with four, 3" wheels, it will remain stable and be able to be moved smoothly.

As is evident, rolling storage bins can fulfil many objectives and make the most of the space you have. To find the one that will fit in best with your decor and properly serve it's purpose will prove to be a worthwhile project.
