One of the most significant factors in crew efficiency is the number of times your contractors need to run back and forth to the truck to grab a tool or part. Each trip eats up clock, limiting the number of completed jobs each day.

Many fleets have started using portable part cases to improve job efficiency.

Portable Part Cases are essentially tool boxes but allow for greater flexibility when configuring the storage configurations.

Some trades are building out multiple types of cases. For example, a plumber may have one part case for leak repair parts and another for water heater installation. Likewise, an electrician may have one case of just outlets to accommodate any style the job requires.

The Benefits of Portable Part Cases

It all comes down to efficiency. Portable part cases help your crews limit the number of trips back and forth to their truck.

In addition, many of our clients report back that these cases:

  • Save time loading and unloading tool boxes between jobs.  
  • Keep truck inventory organized and easy to monitor so crew members aren’t forced to run out and buy what they need at the local hardware store
  • Simplify the setup and clean-up time associated with a job.

Portable Part Case Durability

Adrian Steel's portable parts cases are constructed of heavy-duty plastic material to ensure they withstand the rigors of daily use. In addition, the case and lid are impact resistant, able to withstand being dropped or having items dropped on them.

Case Lid

Portable part cases include strong, clear locking lids. The locks are strong enough to stay clasped even if the case falls from the truck or while carried. The clear lid lets you quickly see what’s in the case, without opening it or moving items around.

Case Configurations

One of the key features of Adrian Steel's portable parts cases is the variety of compartments and storage options available. Whether you need a place to store your sockets, wrenches, or screws, these cases have you covered.

Each case can be configured with dividers to set up your case specifically for a job or part type. Not only does this help keep things organized, but it allows your crews to find items more quickly and monitor inventory levels.

Stackable

If your teams need multiple cases, each portable part case can be safely stacked on top of each other, allowing crews to carry more or consolidate space.

Part Case Storage

We can install storage cabinets to keep your portable part cases organized in your work vehicle. These cabinets are made specifically for the portable part cases with shelving that includes a lip to stop them from sliding out while in transit.

They are perfect for technicians, mechanics, and other professionals who are constantly on the go and need a reliable way to store and transport their tools and parts.

Adrian Steel's Portable Parts Cases are a great investment for anyone looking to improve organization and efficiency between the truck and the job site.
