Our premium Science range is far more than just storage
At the centre of the education landscape for decades, our Science range continues to be discovered and enjoyed by new generations of users, allowing technicians and teachers to inspire the scientists of tomorrow.
Our durable range of metal furniture works together to create complete storage solutions for your prep room and labs. This means that your chemicals, electronics, glassware and more can be stored safely and securely, before being accessed in seconds for any experiment or practical demonstration.
Plus, with a range of specially designed trolleys, items can be easily moved between spaces in seconds, maximising storage space and allowing multiple classrooms, labs and prep rooms to share equipment.
protect, store, prepare & Transport
For full flexibility, all our units are also compatible with a range of trays and shelves and can accommodate all four heights of our famous Gratnells trays, which are also interchangeable between new or existing frames and trolleys.
This all comes with peace of mind that, as with all our furniture, every product is designed for heavy use, complete with a five year guarantee and, perhaps most importantly, has been rigorously tested by those who actually use them… day in, day out, throughout the year.
Our science sets contain the World’s No.1 School Tray
Gratnells Science frames and trolleys offer the ultimate solution for storing equipment and chemicals
Prep rooms & chemical stores
Gratnells Science range can help you utilise every inch of space in a prep room or chemical store. The doorless design works in even the most confined spaces, keeping floor space clear and providing quick, easy-access to equipment. Our tall sturdy frames provide high density storage to house our super-tough, zero-fade trays, which are perfect for safely storing chemicals and equipment as they are chemically unreactive, scratch resistant and have an anti-static additive to protect against dust contamination. Shelves can also be fitted into our science frames to store heavy items.
A well organised prep room and chemical store makes it easy to prepare practical lessons ahead of time. Individual trays can be used with foam inserts to secure fragile items and collate a full practical pack ahead of time, then placed into a trolley ready to transport into the laboratory.
Technology stores & workshops
Trolleys are an ideal way to store heavy equipment that needs to be moved around. Workshop equipment can be placed near machines for easy access and tidied away at the end of the day. With a range of tray colours to choose from, you can colour code storage of equipment easily.

The preparation of science equipment is crucial to the successful teaching of science in schools. That’s why Gratnells complete science storage solution is essential for prep rooms & science areas.
designing science spaces that work Gratnells has a range of products specifically designed to help you create the perfect laboratory and prep room. Our Special Reports and book Planning Learning Spaces describe what can be achieved without compromise.
Our trolleys are the perfect solution for transporting equipment and chemicals between prep rooms and laboratories. The recessed tops can be used to display resources or demonstrate experiments and are removable for easy cleaning.
All our trolleys are supplied with heavy duty castors fitted into solid steel blocks for extra strength and available in bench height to keep resources close to hand in the lab and under bench height to store away under lab benches keeping walkways clear.
bench height trolley
The bench height trolley has been designed to add mobile storage space at the end of a science bench, providing additional surface space and storage. Lab equipment can be safely stored in trays and kept close by for easy access to resources.
Under bench trolley
These low height metal trolleys are designed to maximise storage space under science lab benches, allowing equipment to be safely stored in trays and then easily moved around the laboratory to where they are needed, whilst keeping bench surfaces clear.

Gratnells science frames compliment our trolley range offering the ultimate solution for storing equipment and chemicals in prep rooms and chemical stores. Using the same runner and tray system, a wide range of storage combinations can be created to optimise any space.
bench height & under bench frames
Bench height frames add static storage at the end of a science bench, providing storage for lab equipment and extra working surface when adding one of our metal tops. Keep floor space clear and maximise storage space with our under bench frames that fit snuggly under science benches. Equipment can be safely stored in trays and kept close by for easy access to resources.
Tall & MID FRAMES
When space is at a premium, our tall and mid frames are the key to successful high-density storage. Fill the frame with our chemically unreactive trays to organise equipment and chemicals or fix in a shelf for heavier items. These frames are complete with tops, adjustable feet, and back diagonal bars for additional rigidity meaning they are perfect for bulk storage. Brackets are also available to join frames or fix to walls.
