GearGrid Explains What Makes Their Lockers Different?

Taking the time to investigate and evaluate the options for turnout gear lockers is an important step in the purchasing process. Not all locker systems are created equal, nor with the same attention to detail.

Turnout Gear Locker

The Industry Standard for Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) storage was created in 1998 with the introduction of the GearGrid Turnout Gear Locker.

Since then, other look-a-like products have come and gone. When the facts, features, and benefits are reviewed, it becomes clear there is much more to determine the best value than meets the eye.

Major difference

GearGrid prides itself on using Factory Direct Distribution, which ensures no reseller network, consistent service

The most compelling difference between GearGrid and other PPE producers is that only GearGrid manufactures all of its products in the USA with ASTM spec materials at its production facility and headquarters in Forest Lake, MN.

GearGrid prides itself on using Factory Direct Distribution, which ensures no reseller network, consistent service, and pricing across the USA regardless of facility location.

grid intersection placement

From a distance, GearGrid lockers and the look-a-like lockers do look quite similar. However, significant differences can be seen in the craftsmanship of the products.

GearGrid lockers are known for their 3” x 3” square grid pattern, making it easy to adjust shelves in 3” increments compared to the diagonal grid pattern used by others, making adjusting shelves and accessories difficult due to grid intersection placement.

Other Differences:

Custom applications

GearGrid offers a full line of Equipment Handling and Storage Solutions to create a unified look, function, and quality standard throughout the facility. 

Custom applications are also available, with the opportunity to work directly with GearGrid’s design, engineering, and production team members. GearGrid believes gear deserves to be protected and safe.

PPE storage

As a proud American manufacturer, GearGrid ensures their storage solutions do just that. GearGrid appreciates the time it takes to research and evaluate the PPE storage options to best serve needs.
