Storage chests: which capacity for your gym?
Les coffres métalliques vont de 30 à 230 litres, de 81,84 à 268,83 EUR excl. VAT, en version simple ou avec plateau baladeur. Comptez 30 à 65 litres pour une zone ou un studio, 80 à 100 litres pour un box ou un club, 175 à 230 litres pour un stock central ou une aire extérieure. Le plateau se justifie dès que le coffre mélange plus de trois familles d'accessoires, et le cadenas à 7,33 EUR excl. VAT est ce qui transforme le rangement en sécurisation.
A metal storage chest solves a problem every facility manager knows: small equipment that disappears. Bands, straps, skipping ropes, timers, markers and chalk get put away and locked between sessions. The range, manufactured in France, covers 22 references from 30 to 230 litres, from 81.84 EUR excluding VAT to 268.83 EUR excluding VAT. This guide helps you choose the capacity and the options.
Which capacity for which use
| Volume | Dimensions | Price | Typical use |
|---|---|---|---|
| 30 litres | 500 x 250 x 250 mm | 81.84 EUR excluding VAT | Small coaching equipment, one studio or one zone |
| 50 litres | 550 x 300 x 300 mm | 87.40 EUR excluding VAT | Bands and straps for a group class |
| 65 litres | 550 x 350 x 350 mm | 91.98 EUR excluding VAT | The functional zone of a gym |
| 80 litres | 670 x 350 x 350 mm | 107.18 EUR excluding VAT | Cross-training box, shared equipment |
| 100 litres | 800 x 350 x 350 mm | 136.22 EUR excluding VAT | Club, equipment for several classes |
| 115 litres | 800 x 380 x 380 mm | 153.07 EUR excluding VAT | Public facility, bulky equipment |
| 175 litres | 1000 x 480 x 365 mm | 190.10 EUR excluding VAT | Central store of a facility |
| 230 litres | 1000 x 480 x 480 mm | 217.97 EUR excluding VAT | Outdoor area, one instructor’s equipment |
The intermediate volumes, 65 to 100 litres, cover the majority of functional zones in a commercial gym. Below that you are buying for a single class; above it you are buying for a central store.
With or without the sliding tray
Every volume exists in a plain version and in a version with a tray. The sliding inner tray separates small items from the bottom of the chest: without it, everything ends up mixed together and the chest has to be emptied to find a timer. The extra cost runs from 22 to 51 EUR excluding VAT depending on the volume: 104.05 EUR excluding VAT for the 30 litre with tray against 81.84 EUR excluding VAT without, or 268.83 EUR excluding VAT for the 230 litre with tray against 217.97 EUR excluding VAT.
The practical rule: fit a tray as soon as the chest holds more than three families of accessories, and skip it if it only stores one type of equipment.
The accessories that change how a chest is used
The storage chest accessories cost little and make a daily difference:
- Castor sets: the chest moves from one zone to another instead of being emptied and reloaded.
- Intermediate trays, from 24.85 to 28.91 EUR excluding VAT depending on the size, to compartmentalise a chest after purchase.
- A carrying strap at 8.83 EUR excluding VAT, for two-person carrying on an outdoor area.
- A brass padlock at 7.33 EUR excluding VAT with three keys: this is what turns storage into security. See the 30 mm brass padlock with three keys.
- Galvanised feet, to raise the chest off a washable or damp floor.
In a gym, in a box or outdoors
In a gym, the chest goes at the end of the functional zone, where the equipment is actually used. In a cross-training box, versions on castors follow the layout of the workout. On an outdoor fitness area or a fitness trail, a locked chest lets an instructor leave equipment on site between supervised sessions, which removes the trips back to the vehicle.

Frequently asked questions
Which chest capacity should you choose?
From 30 litres for the small equipment of a studio to 230 litres for a central store or an outdoor area. The intermediate volumes of 65 to 100 litres cover the majority of functional zones in a gym.
What is the sliding tray for?
It separates small items from the bottom of the chest, which avoids emptying everything to find a timer. The extra cost runs from 22 to 51 EUR excluding VAT depending on the volume. It becomes worthwhile as soon as the chest holds more than three families of accessories.
Are the chests lockable?
Yes, with a hasp for a padlock. The 30 mm brass padlock with three keys is offered at 7.33 EUR excluding VAT: that is what separates storage from genuine security.
Can a full chest be moved?
Yes, with a set of fixed or swivel castors, or with a 1400 mm carrying strap at 8.83 EUR excluding VAT for two-person carrying.
Are these chests suitable for outdoor use?
They are used on outdoor fitness areas to store an instructor’s equipment between sessions. Galvanised feet allow them to be raised off a damp or washable surface.
Equipping the whole zone
A storage chest is rarely bought on its own: it goes in with the small equipment it holds and the zone it serves. Tell us the zones and the classes and we will propose the sizes and the options. Request a quote for a complete fit-out. All prices are shown excluding VAT.
