Tall white wire grid panel used for wall mounted storage

A modular wall storage system is a set of uprights and tie-bars that turns a wall — or a room divider — into storage you can rearrange without tools. Baskets, bins, hooks and shelves hang where you want them, and a run grows by adding a kit that shares an upright with the one beside it. This page covers the three modular families we supply and how to choose between them. It sits under wall mounted medical storage.

Partition uprights and hanging baskets

Two uprights and three tie-bars make a starter kit. Every kit after that shares an upright with its neighbour, so a run gets cheaper as it gets longer.

The manufacturer describes the system as designed for high visibility and easy access while making the most of a wall area, and publishes it as starter kits, add-on kits, complete packages, hanging baskets and accessories. A starter kit is published as two uprights and three tie-bars; an add-on kit as one common upright and three tie-bars, expanding the starter unit that is already up.

Kits are published single sided or double sided — single against a wall, double where the run works as a divider with storage on both faces — in widths the model number carries: 18, 36 and 48 inches. Current starter models listed are WS-SS18, WS-SS36, WS-SS48HC, WS-DS18, WS-DS36 and their HC finish variants, with matching add-on kits (WS-SS18AD, WS-SS36AD, WS-DS36AD and so on).

Hanging baskets are what most of these runs carry. The manufacturer publishes them in chrome, in 11-inch and 17-inch widths and 17-3/8 inch and 35-1/2 inch lengths, and describes the wire construction as minimising dirt accumulation and allowing air circulation, with a dividable grid pattern that lets you partition the basket and see when to restock.

Wire grid and peg board walls

Wire grid panels suit rooms with a long list of awkward shapes. The manufacturer publishes three panel sizes (GSP-2448, GSP-2460 and GSP-2472), describes the grid as heavy gauge wire on a 1/4-inch rod with a durable white gloss finish, and states that heavy-duty wall brackets secure the panels to walls or any flat surface. Accessories published for it include hooks in two lengths, a 16-inch hook tube carrying five hooks, a slanted shelf at 15-1/4 by 22-3/8 inches and 12 by 12 by 8 inch baskets, one of them with a 4-inch front lip for easier access. The manufacturer describes the grid as giving visibility and dust and dirt free storage.

Peg board walls are the simplest of the three. Published board models are PB-24X48-2 and PB-24X48-4, with a spacer kit (PB-SPACER-KT) that stands the board off the wall so extra accessories can mount behind it. The manufacturer describes the board as heavy duty, easily washed and hardwearing, and states it provides three times the strength of conventional peg boards. Hooks and hanging bin kits with bin clips are published as accessories, which is how a peg wall ends up carrying the same hanging bins as a panel run.

What none of these three do is lock. Where contents must be enclosed or secured, a medical storage cabinet is the right product, and a modular wall run usually sits beside one rather than replacing it.

Load capacities for partition, grid and peg configurations are not published per model in the current literature, so we do not state them here: they are confirmed per configuration on review, along with the fixings, which depend on your wall construction. Every model number, dimension and finish on this page comes from the manufacturer’s current published literature or a live product page loaded on 5 August 2026, and is quoted as the manufacturer’s own figure. Where a configuration is not published we say so rather than estimating it.

Where a modular wall system fits

Perforated peg board panel for hook mounted wall storageAwkward-shaped itemsHooks and hook tubes hold tubing, cabling, straps, crutches and anything that will not sit tidily in a bin.
Spacer kit hardware that stands a peg board off the wallStanding the panel off the wallA spacer kit leaves a gap behind the board, which makes cleaning behind the storage possible and adds mounting positions.

The strongest cases are clean utility and storage rooms where the item list keeps changing, outpatient and imaging rooms that are reconfigured between clinics, sterile processing areas where baskets need air around them, and any room where a divider has to carry storage on both faces. In new construction and expansion projects the reason to choose modular is simpler: the room will change before the building does.

Choosing between the three

  • Choose partition uprights when you want baskets and shelves at several heights, or a double-sided divider, and when the run will be extended later — add-on kits share an upright
  • Choose wire grid when the items are awkward shapes, when you want air and sight lines through the storage, and when accessories will change often
  • Choose peg board when the list is mostly hooks and small bins and you want the cheapest, most washable surface
  • Choose a louvered panel instead when the run is almost entirely hanging bins — see louvered panel systems
  • Choose cantilever arms instead when what you actually need is shelves — see wall rail and cantilever systems

Estimated figures only. Quantities, footprints and capacities we produce during planning are estimates for discussion. Final specifications and dimensions are confirmed on the quote and field-verified before installation.

Labs USA is a supplier and project partner, not the manufacturer. We supply Quantum Medical storage products, help size and configure them for the room and the workflow, and coordinate delivery and installation.

Lay the room out before you commit to a wall system

The Room Designer places wall runs, shelving and carts in a room to scale so you can see whether a divider or a wall run gives you more usable storage. Send us the layout and we will quote the kits, baskets and accessories as one parts list.

Modular wall storage FAQ

What is in a partition starter kit?
The manufacturer publishes a starter kit as two uprights and three tie-bars. An add-on kit is published as one common upright and three tie-bars, and it shares an upright with the kit already installed, which is how a run is extended.
What widths and configurations are available?
Starter and add-on kits are currently published in 18, 36 and 48 inch widths, single sided or double sided, with finish variants. Baskets are published in 11-inch and 17-inch widths and 17-3/8 inch and 35-1/2 inch lengths in chrome.
How much weight will a modular wall run carry?
The current literature does not publish a load figure per model for the partition, grid and peg families, so we do not state one. Capacities are confirmed per configuration on review, and what the wall itself will carry depends on its construction and fixings, which is a site question for your facilities team.
What is the difference between a grid panel and a peg board?
The grid panel is a heavy gauge wire grid on a 1/4-inch rod with a white gloss finish, and the manufacturer describes it as giving visibility and dust and dirt free storage; accessories include hooks, a hook tube, a slanted shelf and baskets. The peg board is a solid washable board that the manufacturer describes as three times the strength of conventional peg boards, with hooks, spacer kits and hanging bin kits.
Can a run be double sided as a room divider?
Yes, double-sided kits are published. Plan clearance on both faces and remember that a divider changes how people move through the room, which is worth testing on a layout before ordering.
Can we mix baskets, bins, shelves and hooks?
Yes, that is the point of a modular system. The accessory mix is usually what decides which of the three families you should buy, so we ask for the item list before recommending one.
Do you help plan and install it?
We plan it with you at no charge and coordinate delivery and installation. Fixings and mounting heights are confirmed on site with your facilities team before the order is released.
