Storage Areas

This page describes the kinds of storage at WMI. The rules (who can use each, size limits, what is prohibited, labeling) are in the Storage Policy in the Shop Rules book. Current storage options and rates are on waukeshamakers.com.

Types of storage

Type Good for Notes
Small and large lockers Tools, small materials, project parts Board approval; you may use your own padlock
Pallet racking Larger items, equipment, materials Up to a 40 in x 40 in footprint (or a standard 40 in x 48 in pallet), 40 in tall
Floor storage on carts Short-term, project-specific storage Advance approval; carts need working wheels and an inspection

To be confirmed: where the lockers, pallet racking and floor storage area are in the building.

Tote storage

Drawings exist for shop-built tote racks sized for 15-gallon and 27-gallon totes.

To be confirmed: whether tote racks are installed, which tote sizes members should buy, and how tote spaces are assigned.

Everyday rules of thumb

  • Only leave things in designated storage areas or on carts.
  • Label everything with your name and contact information (and the date, for projects in progress).
  • Big projects go on wheels so others can move them.
  • Keep walkways and shared workspaces clear.
  • Unlabeled items are treated as community property.
