Free Standing & Safety Cabinets
Free Standing & Safety Cabinets
LF Systems provides specialty and safety cabinet solutions for laboratory environments that require more than standard base cabinet storage. These cabinets are designed to support specific lab functions such as flammable liquid storage, acid storage, and vacuum pump housing while coordinating with surrounding casework, fume hoods, countertops, and utility requirements.
Specialty cabinet selection depends on the materials being stored or housed, the surrounding lab layout, ventilation needs, safety requirements, and project specifications.
Engineered for Safety. Built for Compliance.
Best used for chemical storage areas, fume hood base cabinets, acid handling zones, flammable liquid storage, vacuum pump housing, research labs, pharmaceutical spaces, teaching labs, and industrial QC environments.
Specialty laboratory cabinets help address applications that standard casework is not designed to handle. Flammable storage cabinets support safer storage of flammable and combustible liquids, acid cabinets provide chemical-resistant interiors for corrosive materials, and vacuum pump cabinets help house equipment that may require sound control and ventilation coordination.
These cabinets should be selected early in the lab planning process so storage, ventilation, plumbing, electrical access, fume hood placement, and user workflow are coordinated correctly.
Flammable Storage Cabinets
Flammable storage cabinets are designed for the storage of flammable and combustible liquids in laboratory environments. These cabinets are commonly used beneath fume hoods, near chemical handling areas, and in labs where solvents need to remain accessible but properly contained.
Depending on the configuration, flammable cabinets may include labeled doors, a liquid-tight bottom pan to help contain leaks or spills, vent openings with spark screens, grounding provisions, and door options such as self-closing mechanisms, synchronized doors, three-point latching, or fusible link hold-open features.
Flammable cabinet selection should be coordinated with the lab’s chemical storage needs, applicable safety requirements, fume hood layout, and overall casework design.
Acid Storage Cabinets
Acid storage cabinets are designed for corrosive chemical storage where standard painted steel cabinet interiors may not be appropriate. These cabinets typically include chemical-resistant interior liners and are commonly placed under or near fume hoods, sinks, or chemical handling work areas.
Depending on the cabinet configuration, acid cabinets may include polyethylene liners, coved interior corners, a front containment lip, acid identification labeling, and a phenolic shelf. These features help separate corrosive storage from standard casework while supporting cleaner, more application-specific chemical storage.
Acid cabinet selection should account for chemical compatibility, fume hood location, ventilation requirements, user access, and the types of acids or corrosive materials being stored.
Vacuum Pump Cabinets
Vacuum pump cabinets are designed to house vacuum pumps and related equipment within a coordinated casework layout. These cabinets can help reduce clutter beneath benches or fume hoods while providing a more intentional location for pump equipment.
Depending on the configuration, vacuum pump cabinets may include sound-deadening material, pump cart options, electrical configurations, integral toe kick doors, and coordination with a vent kit or other ventilation method. These details matter because vacuum pumps can generate noise, heat, and service access needs that should be considered during lab planning.
Vacuum pump cabinet selection should be coordinated with equipment size, access requirements, ventilation, electrical needs, and the surrounding fume hood or casework layout.
