Construction Equipment

The problem that I am finding is that the diversity of equipment and equipment manufacturers makes in nearly impossible to effectively catagorize parts. Organizing them alphanumerically is very hard due to the wide range of part number types, while organizing parts by function is only beneficial if everyone knows the technical side of the equipment. I have tried shelving, bins, racks, and drawers. Of them all I found drawers to be the most effective, but it is very hard to find quality drawers that are big enough (12″W x 6″H x 18″D) to accomodate my company’s needs. Any ideas?
