Sterling SMD
CXD STERLING ‘SMD’ plan drawer range.
Smart Metal Design, proven designs custom made to order.
The Sterling ‘SMD’ range of drawers feature a variety of tried and tested designs that have been developed and supplied to archives and libraries throughout the United Kingdom. The latest CNC technology allows custom made variations of size to be produced at very competitive prices.
All cabinets are made from heavy duty powder coated steel and colours can be specified using the BS or RAL colour systems and feature a choice of roller bearings or telescopic drawer slides. They come with angled or flat fronts with recessed full width handles or can be fitted with conventional ‘U’ type handles. Unless otherwise requested the drawers are fitted with hinged flaps and rear cover plates to prevent curl of maps and drawings. Drawer depths can be specified as required however the classic angled front design with shallow 33mm drawers has proved very popular with the larger map libraries.
In addition to the fixed front drawers a drop front design has been developed to ease the removal of files. This is especially helpful for higher-level drawers in stacked cabinets.
