What Types Of Sports Lockers Work Best For Athletic Equipment?

Full-length, single tiered sports lockers are the best choice for athletic equipment. This is due to the simple fact that only a locker that stands as tall or as taller than a person is large enough to contain some of the larger pieces of equipment that athletes use in various games.  Baseball bats, hockey sticks, and football pads are simply too bulky to store in more compact locker spaces.  Lockers used by league teams and professional athletes should preferably have additional storage areas located at the top of the unit and the bottom of the unit.  These storage compartments should be locked so that valuables and other personal items can be secured while the athlete is at practice or at a game.

The most popular sports lockers that fit these requirements are the open access lockers found in our inventory. Open access lockers resemble closets in the way their interior space is configured.  At the top, you have a shelf that divides the upper section of the locker into a small cubby that is ideal for storing smaller pieces of equipment, such as baseball gloves, a basketball, or an extra pair of shoes and socks.  The main vertical section stretches below this cubby area.  It normally has at least one or two hooks on which to hang uniforms.  Many models also have a curtain rod that allows uniforms and day clothes to be neatly hung so they will not become wrinkled.

In places where large vertical space is needed for storage, but where an enclosure of some kind is either necessary or desirable, organizations may want to consider single-tiered sports lockers made from solid plastic. Solid plastic is perhaps the most vandal resistant type of material currently on the market.  It is not as easy to scratch or cut as many people assume.  It never dents and it never rusts, which makes it one of the most versatile materials in terms of applications.  It is commonly used in very humid environments that could easily damage wood finish or rust metal over a period of time.  Plastic lockers feature doors that can be locked so that personal storage is secure.  Also, they are ventilated so that interior contents remain dry.

In some cases, metal single tiered lockers can be used for athletic equipment storage. Typically such environments would be rural schools, or they would be facilities that operated on a limited budget.  Metal lockers are well ventilated and offer plenty of storage space.  They can also be locked and secured like other enclosed sports lockers so that personal items remain secure during practice and game play.
