Munitions storage is designed to safely secure, organize, and control access to ammunition, explosives, and related materials in military, law-enforcement, and industrial environments. These systems prioritize safety, compliance, and accountability through reinforced construction, controlled access, and clear inventory organization.
Munitions can be stored securely with weapons inside of Combat Weapon Racks. Customized narrow-depth magazine shelves store 30 round Magpul PMAGs in US DOD arms rooms.
Armorers can also choose to store magazines separately in shelving, storage bins or modular drawer cabinets. Each application gives flexibility and is space permitting as each arms room varies in size and mission requirements.
Available in 3 heights with assigned National Stock Numbers, Combat Weapon Racks can be configured as stacked weapon racks, mid-tier height or full height to meet mission needs in critical spaces.
Proper layouts reduce handling risks, prevent damage, and support fast, accurate retrieval when needed. Effective munitions storage protects personnel, safeguards high-value assets, and ensures operations remain efficient, compliant, and ready at all times.
Munitions Storage Shelving
Boxed ammunition stored on storage shelves is stored in bulk. As ammo is one of the heaviest items stored on steel shelving, shelf weight capacities need to be observed to make sure ammo weights do not exceed the usable weight capacity of each shelf level.
The more boxes of ammo stacked high and deep per shelf level, the more weight the shelf will carry. This requires adding more shelf levels in each section of shelving, storing ammunition to spread out the weight capacity.
Munitions Carts
Combat Magazine & Ammo Carts are designed to provide secure and organized storage for your ammunition and magazines.
Made from durable materials, these carts are built to withstand the rigors of everyday use and protect your gear from the elements. They fit different types of ammunition and magazines and feature lockable options for added security.
Weapon Rack Munitions Storage
In some arms rooms, there are modular drawer cabinets below issue windows utilized for magazine storage and distribution. This allows the armorer to store magazines in compartmentalized drawers and effectively locked down separately from the weapons.
Drawers should utilize heavy-duty ball bearing glides with a weight capacity of 400 lbs per drawer. This will make sure the weight of the stored magazines doesn’t overwhelm the drawer.
Too much weight in each drawer will cause the drawer to sag and make opening difficult, as the drawer sags and hits the next drawer down in the modular drawer cabinet.
Bulk Munitions Storage Shelving
Bulk Storage Shelving has heavier weight capacities on each shelf level. This allows armorers to store ammo in bulk quantities, whether in ammo cans or possibly even on pallets.
Bulk storage shelving is manufactured with open uprights. Still, it is secured to meet DOD physical security requirements with welded wire cage doors and side enclosures, effectively turning sections of bulk storage shelving into caged-off heavy-duty ammo storage systems.
