When Bobby Burris, Program Manager for the City of Largo Public Works Department in Florida, began searching for a way to improve the department’s storage capabilities, he knew the solution needed to meet a high standard. His team’s work demands durable, efficient systems that can withstand the daily wear of a busy public works environment.

After a quick search on Google, Burris discovered GearGrid, and it didn’t take long to see that this company was in a league of its own. 

The standout feature that caught his attention? GearGrid’s modular locker design, which offered the flexibility and strength his facility needed to keep gear organized, accessible, and properly maintained.

Durable Public Works Storage Solutions Built for Demanding Environments

After careful consideration, the City of Largo chose GearGrid’s Standard Wall Mount Lockers and Bench Systems, two of the most durable and practical storage options available for public works departments and municipal facilities.

Both products are engineered with heavy-duty, high-strength steel, ensuring they hold up against the toughest working conditions. Their powder coat finish provides long-lasting protection from wear, moisture, and corrosion, ideal for environments where gear is exposed to the elements or needs to dry between uses.

Thanks to GearGrid’s open-grid design, the wall mount lockers naturally function as gear drying racks, allowing consistent airflow around wet or weather-exposed items. This built-in ventilation helps uniforms and equipment dry faster, reduces moisture buildup, and extends the life of the department’s gear.

By installing these industrial wall mount lockers and bench systems, the City of Largo gained a storage solution that keeps items organized, accessible, and properly ventilated—all key improvements that support safety, cleanliness, and operational efficiency within a busy public works environment..

The Results: A Noticeable Improvement in Department Organization & Efficiency

Since the installation, Burris has witnessed a complete transformation in the department’s storage and organization. Gear and personal protective equipment are now stored efficiently, and staff can quickly access what they need when it’s time to get to work.

When asked about the overall reaction from his team, Burris summed it up in one word:
 “Positive.”

He also emphasized the exceptional build quality of GearGrid’s storage systems, noting that the products are extremely durable and well-designed for the department’s needs. 

Customer Experience: Service That Goes Beyond Installation

While Burris was impressed with GearGrid’s products, he was equally pleased with the exceptional customer service. From the first contact to post-installation follow-up, the GearGrid team provided quick communication, professional support, and a customer-first approach.

“They are a great company to do business with,” Burris said.

GearGrid takes pride in providing not just superior products, but also long-term partnership and support. Even after shipment or installation, the team checks in to ensure that every customer’s system continues to perform as expected. 

Thanks to that ongoing dedication, Burris rated GearGrid a 10/10 for both quality and service.
