One hub for every Metro lab, hospital and cleanroom designer

Metro (InterMetro) makes much of the storage you see in research labs, hospitals and pharmacies: chrome and stainless Super Erecta wire shelving, MetroMax polymer shelving for wet and cold rooms, Starsys and Flexline carts, sterile processing carts and TableWorx stainless tables. Labs USA built a guided BuildQuote designer for each Metro product line, and this page routes you to the right one.

Start from the product if you already know what you need, or start from your space — research lab, clinical lab, pharmacy, cleanroom, SPD, vivarium or dietary — and we point you to the three to six designers that fit it. Each designer checks compatibility as you go (posts, shelves, casters, mats, drawers, voltages), shows a 3D preview, calculates live freight from the nearest Metro warehouse that stocks your whole order, and lets you send a formal quote to purchasing or order online.

Buying for a facility, not a lab? Our sister company MH-USA runs the same Metro designers with foodservice, warehouse, retail and manufacturing guidance: see the MH-USA Metro Designer Hub. All Labs USA design tools live on our laboratory design tools page.

How Metro BuildQuote works

The same three-step flow runs in every designer, so once you have used one you know them all.

1

Design

Answer a few guided questions or configure directly. The designer only offers parts that fit together and shows a 3D preview.

2

Live freight

Enter your ZIP. We rate LTL and small-package parcel from the Metro warehouse that stocks your whole order and show the cheaper option.

3

Quote or order

Email yourself a saved design, send a formal quote to purchasing, or order online. Tax is calculated from the ship-to state.

4

Talk to a person

Our team reviews every order and can adjust the design, add install or match a spec. Call (801) 855-8560.

Why use a designer instead of a catalog? Metro systems are modular: a shelf, post, caster and mat each have their own part number, and getting one wrong means a unit that will not assemble or a cart that will not clear a doorway. The designers build the complete bill of materials for you, flag anything Metro must confirm (special finishes, seismic approvals, made-to-order carts), and keep your configuration saved so a buyer, facilities manager or lab manager can reopen and approve it later. Checkout for Labs USA orders stays on Labs USA; nothing is charged until our team reviews the order.

Metro designer FAQ

What is the Labs USA Metro Design Hub?
It is one page that links to all 17 Metro BuildQuote designers Labs USA runs, organized by product and by lab or hospital application, so you can go straight to the right tool.
Which Metro designer should I use for a cleanroom?
Start with the stainless work tables designer for perforated 304 or 316 tables, the workcenters designer for gowning benches and garment racks, and the utility carts designer for stainless cleanroom carts.
Can I use these designers for sterile processing?
Yes. The medical supply carts designer covers case carts, SPD units and wrap racks; polymer shelving covers MetroMax i sterile storage; ware handling and dunnage/drying racks cover tote carriers and drying units.
How is freight calculated?
Each designer rates live LTL and small-package freight from the Metro warehouse that stocks your whole order to your ZIP and shows the lower-cost option. Our team confirms it before shipment.
Can I send a quote to purchasing instead of ordering?
Yes. Every designer can email a saved design or a formal quote with the full parts list, freight and tax, so purchasing can issue a PO.
Do the designers handle seismic or HCAI shelving?
The workcenters and furniture designer includes HCAI and site-approval seismic shelving kits. Anything that needs Metro or engineer confirmation is flagged on the quote.
What if my project needs more than one Metro product?
Most do. Each designer links to related Metro tools, and our team can combine several saved designs into one quote. Call or send us the designs.
Is Labs USA related to MH-USA?
Yes. Labs USA and MH-USA are sister companies. MH-USA runs the same Metro designers with facility-focused guidance on its own Metro Designer Hub.
