Benefits of Rousseau products Interoperable and modular Rousseau products are modular and easy to install. They can be easily combined to create a complete system and fit seam- lessly into existing buildings and spaces. Thanks to their extensible design, a wide range of accessories can be added to the base models to further increase their fea- tures and functionality. And because they are interoperable, they can also scale and evolve in current and future systems, and in different departments and roles. Durable and versatile Rousseau products are scalable and with- stand the test of time, backed up by a life- time warranty. With multiple advantages such as durability, reliability and extensive choice, they rapidly become indispensable products. Available in both stationary and mobile versions, Rousseau products can be tailored to suit different applications and will last for many decades. Applications for Rousseau products Efficient stock management To make full use of all available storage space, Rousseau offers a smart combi- nation of shelving systems and Spider® mini-racking combined with heavy-duty modular drawers. They help to achieve the goal of increasing storage capacity and grouping all parts of the same size together in the same place. A vast range of accessories can also be added to fur- ther maximize storage. One of the key advantages of this application is that the system is all managed in the same stor- age unit. Efficient and ergonomic work environments Rousseau's wide variety of workcenters and workbenches can be used to create a versatile, multipurpose and ergonomic work environment. With countless dimen- sions, different work surfaces, 20 standard colours and a wide variety of accessories to choose from for both stationary and mo- bile workstations, Rousseau offers endless possibilities all under the same roof. There are also many other options for improv- ing comfort and facilitating work tasks: installing heavy-duty cabinets under the work surface or multipurpose frames on top; or integrating 5S components like utility panels with hooks, plastic bins and other holders. Components and acces- sories can be swapped in and out quickly and without tools. Storage and organization best prac- tices To help develop best practices for stor- age and organization, Rousseau offers solutions for easy identification of tools and their proper place. With freestanding stations, equipment is always nearby and the workspace can be quickly rearranged according to the task at hand. Stationary and mobile heavy-duty cabinets are also ideal for storing tools. Their modular de- sign means they can be configured and reconfigured for the ultimate in versatil- ity. They are the most durable toolboxes on the market. By adding foam inserts in the modular drawers, missing items can be easily identified.
