The Steel Power Heavy Duty Metal Storage Cabinet measures 1.85m high × 0.9m long × 0.4m deep, built from powder-coated steel in a matte black finish with adjustable shelving. It is a tall, wardrobe-style steel cabinet designed for garages, workshops, warehouses and offices — enclosed storage for tools, equipment, files and household items. Stock is held at Steel Power's Willawong warehouse in Brisbane, with same-day pickup and Australia-wide delivery. Below is the full spec sheet, what each spec means in practice, and how this cabinet compares with the other steel cabinets in the range.
Everything on this page comes from Steel Power's own product data. Where a detail is not published in the listing — current AUD pricing, exact product weight, shelf count and door configuration — the honest answer is to check the product page directly, which always carries the current listing.

One honest note that Steel Power prints on the listing itself: colour may vary under different lighting, and cosmetic marks do not affect function. That is the kind of plain-language disclosure worth having before a cabinet arrives, not after.
What the specs mean in practice
The 1.85m × 0.9m × 0.4m footprint
At 1.85 metres tall, this cabinet uses vertical space the way a wardrobe does — which is exactly why the listing calls it a steel garage wardrobe. The 0.9m width takes a decent run of wall without dominating a single garage bay, and the 0.4m depth is shallow enough to keep a walkway clear in front of it while still swallowing toolboxes, cases and storage tubs. If floor space is the constraint in your garage, a tall, shallow cabinet like this stores more per square metre of floor than a low, deep unit.
Powder-coated steel in matte black
The cabinet is steel throughout, finished in a powder coating rather than paint. Powder coating is baked onto the metal, giving a scratch-resistant, corrosion-resistant surface that stands up to the knocks of a working garage far better than a painted or laminated finish. The matte black look also hides workshop scuffs better than gloss. Like all powder-coated steel storage, it performs best in a dry, covered environment — a garage, enclosed shed, warehouse or office rather than open weather.
Adjustable shelving
The internal shelves reposition to suit what you store, so tall items — jerry cans, power tool cases stood upright, boxed equipment — can get a full-height bay while smaller consumables stack more densely above. The number of shelves supplied and their increments are listed on the product page.
Enclosed storage versus open shelving
The practical difference between this cabinet and a shelving unit is the door: enclosed storage keeps dust and workshop grime off the contents and keeps visual clutter behind a panel. Many workshops run both — open garage shelving for bulky, frequently accessed gear, and a cabinet for anything that benefits from staying clean and out of sight. Our guide to the best metal storage cabinets in Australia covers that split in more detail.
How it compares with the other Steel Power cabinets
The Heavy Duty Metal Storage Cabinet sits in Steel Power's cabinet range alongside six other steel units. Here is the whole line-up at a glance, using each product's published details:
| Model | Format | Key published details |
|---|---|---|
| Heavy Duty Metal Storage Cabinet 1.85m (this cabinet) | Tall wardrobe-style cabinet | 1.85m × 0.9m × 0.4m; powder-coated steel; matte black; adjustable shelving |
| Heavy Duty File Cabinet 1.85m | Tall file/storage cabinet | Same 1.85m × 0.9m × 0.4m footprint; powder-coated steel; adjustable shelving; pitched at files as well as tools |
| Metal File Cabinet 1.85m Grey & White | Tall lockable cabinet | 1.85m high; lockable; grey and white finish; files, tools and equipment |
| Lockable Metal Storage Cabinet with Shelf | Double-door cabinet | Lockable double doors; adjustable shelf; powder-coated finish |
| 2 Drawer Metal Storage Cabinet | Compact drawer unit | Two drawers; built-in lock; steel construction |
| 3 Drawer Mobile Pedestal Filing Cabinet | Under-desk mobile pedestal | Two stationery drawers plus one filing drawer (A4/letter); central locking with a single key; five castors, two lockable |
| Heavy Duty Tool Storage Cabinet with Drawers & Pegboard 1.8m | Tool cabinet with pegboard | 1.8m; integrated pegboard; built-in drawers; adjustable shelving |
The short version: choose this cabinet for general enclosed garage and workshop storage in the tall format. Choose the File Cabinet 1.85m or the Grey & White 1.85m if documents are the main load — the grey-and-white unit is the one explicitly listed as lockable in that height. Choose the pegboard cabinet if hand-tool organisation matters more than sheer volume, and the drawer units for parts, fixings and paperwork. If security is the deciding factor, our lockable steel cabinet guide walks through the locking options across the range.

FAQ
Q: What are the dimensions of the Steel Power Heavy Duty Metal Storage Cabinet?
A: The cabinet measures 1.85m high × 0.9m long × 0.4m deep. It is a tall, wardrobe-style steel cabinet — the height does the storage work while the 0.4m depth keeps the footprint shallow enough for a garage wall.

A: Heavy-duty steel with a powder-coated, matte black finish. Powder coating is baked onto the metal, giving a scratch-resistant and corrosion-resistant surface suited to garage and workshop use in dry, covered environments.
Q: Is the Heavy Duty Metal Storage Cabinet lockable?
A: Door and lock details for this specific cabinet are listed on the product page — check the current listing before ordering.

A: Both share the same 1.85m × 0.9m × 0.4m footprint, powder-coated steel construction and adjustable shelving.

Compare the two product pages for configuration details before choosing.
