Verso Workshop Storage

Bott Verso is the workhorse of the Bott range — fully welded steel cupboards, cabinets, workstands and height-adjustable benches built for workshops, maintenance departments, stores and production areas. Verso gives you Bott build quality at a more accessible price point than the heavy-duty Cubio range, and the units are designed to work together, so a Verso cupboard, bench and mobile cabinet all match.

Verso bin cupboards and parts storage

The Verso bin cupboards are the range's best-known units. These are parts-bin cupboards — a welded steel cabinet fitted with adjustable galvanised shelves and a kit of labelled plastic bins — not domestic bin storage. They exist to get fasteners, fittings and consumables off the bench and into a countable, lockable place.

• 1050 × 350 × 2000 mm — 10 adjustable shelves and a 66-piece Type 3 bin kit. The 350 mm depth makes this the one to specify where floor space is tight or the cupboard sits against a wall.
• 1050 × 550 × 2000 mm — six adjustable shelves and a 21-bin kit, for larger bins and bulkier parts.
• Bin Cupboard with Shelves & Bins and the BottBox Kit version (eight adjustable shelves) — mixed shelf-and-bin layouts where you need both loose stock and binned small parts in one cabinet.

Every shelf is galvanised steel adjustable on pitch and rated to 75 kg UDL. Bins are supplied in mixed colours with label strips, which matters more than it sounds — an unlabelled bin wall stops being a stock system within a month. For alternative small-parts formats, see our small parts storage guide.

Verso cupboards

All Verso cupboards share the same construction: reinforced fully welded steel housing, stiffened double doors opening to a full 180°, a 3-point locking system, and adjustable galvanised shelves at 75 kg UDL each. What changes is the internal fit-out:

• Shelf Cupboard and 4-Shelf Cupboard — general lockable storage, RAL 7035 light grey with other finishes available.
• Computer Cupboard — secure monitor housing, a lockable keyboard tray, adjustable shelving and cable-routing apertures for heat management. Specified where a PC has to live on the shop floor rather than in an office.
• Lectern Cupboard with Shelf and Drawer — a sloping writing top over a lockable cupboard and a heavy-duty drawer, for job sheets, QC paperwork and assembly instructions at the point of work.
• Hazardous Substance Cupboard — reinforced welded steel finished in high-visibility RAL 1023 safety yellow, with safety labelling to BS EN ISO 7010:2012+A5:2015. Designed in line with HSE guidance for storing chemicals; see hazardous storage for COSHH and flammables cabinets with bunded sumps.

Verso benches and workstands

Verso benches are built on a braced steel section framework and are height-adjustable from 780 mm to 930 mm — the practical range for seated inspection work up to standing assembly. That adjustment is the reason to choose Verso over a fixed-height bench where several operators share one station.

• Adjustable Height Framework Bench — full-depth base shelf, with a choice of 30 mm ESD laminate, industrial lino or multiplex worktops. The ESD option matters for electronics work.
• Framework Bench with Drawer Cabinet — 1500 mm or 2000 mm wide, with a Verso drawer cabinet built in (a single 175 mm drawer at 75 kg UDL, full-height galvanised pan, 100% extension) or a 3-drawer version.
• Full Cupboard Framework Bench — an integrated lockable cupboard (525 × 550 × 600 mm) with one adjustable 75 kg UDL shelf beneath the top.
• Adjustable Height Framework Workbench 2000 × 800 mm — the largest single-bay bench in the range, RAL 7035 powder-coated.

Workstands are the compact 700 × 600 mm version of the same idea, for a satellite station rather than a main bench. Adjustable-height workstands run 780–930 mm and come with a cupboard, a drawer, or open. Mobile workstands add 100 mm or 125 mm industrial castors with brakes. Browse the full workstands and workbenches ranges, or read the workbench buying guide.

Verso mobile units

Three mobile Verso units cover most workshop needs. The Mobile Cabinet runs on 125 mm castors (two swivel with brakes) with a reinforced push–pull handle, lockable doors, adjustable shelving and a worktop, so it doubles as a movable work surface. The 5 Drawer Mobile Cabinet gives you 2 × 100 mm and 3 × 175 mm drawers at 50 kg UDL each with central locking and drawer blocking, under a 30 mm lino or multiplex top. The Maintenance Trolley splits a welded housing with a central partition into a five-drawer module and a lockable cupboard — the unit to specify for a technician who works away from a fixed bench. More on the choice in our tool trolley guide and mobile workbench guide.

Verso or Cubio?

Choose Verso for lockable cupboards, bin storage, adjustable benches and mobile units in maintenance, stores, assembly and technical environments. Choose Cubio when drawers have to carry 75 kg apiece inside a 1.5-tonne housing, or when you want a modular system you can extend cabinet by cabinet. The two ranges share a finish family, so mixing them across a workshop still looks deliberate.

Verso sits within the wider Bott range and our full workshop storage category. Sizes, colours, drawer and bin configurations and lead times are on each product page.
