Large and XL Lockers for PPE, Workwear and Equipment
Large lockers and extra-large lockers provide additional storage space for bulky workwear, personal protective equipment (PPE), helmets, boots, large bags and workplace equipment. They are suitable for factories, warehouses, depots, workshops and other commercial environments where standard staff lockers do not provide sufficient capacity.
Total Locker Service supplies high-capacity workplace lockers for employees who need to store several items together. The appropriate locker depends on the size and quantity of equipment, available floor space and preferred locking arrangement.
For conventional employee storage, see our staff lockers. For additional specialist designs, explore our workplace locker range.
When Should You Choose a Large or Extra-Large Locker?
A large-capacity locker is generally the better option when employees need to store bulky items together or when the width and depth of a conventional locker restrict usable space. However, some storage requirements are better served by specialist locker designs.
| Storage requirement | Recommended locker type | Main consideration |
|---|---|---|
| Large bags, bulky PPE, helmets, boots and workplace equipment | Large or XL locker | Provides additional space for oversized items and multiple pieces of equipment. |
| Coats, uniforms and hanging workwear | Garment lockers | Designed for clothing storage and suitable hanging arrangements. |
| Clean clothing and used workwear requiring separation | Clean and dirty lockers | Separate internal sections help keep different clothing groups apart. |
| Wet workwear or PPE requiring assisted drying | Heated lockers | Specialist drying arrangements help manage damp clothing and suitable equipment. |
| Power tools and compatible batteries requiring charging | Tool charging lockers | Purpose-designed storage incorporates electrical charging facilities. |
| Equipment requiring ventilation and visual inspection | Wire mesh lockers | Open mesh construction allows airflow and visibility of stored contents. |
Large PPE and Industrial Equipment Lockers
Workers in industrial and operational environments may need to store several pieces of equipment in one compartment. Safety helmets, protective footwear, high-visibility jackets, respirator cases, gloves and equipment bags can occupy considerable space.
Large PPE lockers can provide a practical alternative to several smaller compartments, particularly where equipment is permanently assigned to individual employees. The selected locker must have sufficient internal space for the complete equipment set.
Typical applications include factories, warehouses, engineering workshops, distribution centres, utilities, maintenance depots and industrial changing facilities.
Motorcycle Helmet and Clothing Storage
Extra-large lockers may also be suitable for employees commuting by motorcycle. Helmets, protective jackets, trousers, boots and bags can be difficult to accommodate in standard staff lockers.
Check the helmet dimensions, required locker depth and available space for protective clothing before ordering. Where motorcycle clothing regularly becomes wet, consider whether a heated drying locker would be more appropriate.
Not every large locker will accommodate every helmet or motorcycle equipment combination. Confirm the usable internal dimensions and clear door opening against the items being stored.
Choosing the Correct Large Locker Size
When comparing large and XL steel lockers, external cabinet dimensions are only part of the specification. Internal fittings, shelves, hanging rails, door construction and the clear opening can all affect usable storage capacity.
Before choosing a model, measure the largest item that must fit inside and consider whether other items will be stored alongside it.
Important Locker Dimensions
- Internal height: Allow sufficient space for hanging workwear, long equipment and items stored vertically.
- Internal width: Check that bulky bags, helmets and equipment cases can be accommodated without excessive compression.
- Internal depth: Consider the space required for boots, protective clothing and equipment that cannot be folded.
- Door opening: Ensure the largest item can pass through the clear opening, not merely fit within the cabinet.
- Shelves and hanging fittings: Check whether internal fittings improve organisation or restrict the available storage space.
- Overall footprint: Allow for the cabinet width, depth, door movement and surrounding circulation space.
The product specifications in Tab #1 identify the available large-locker models and their stated dimensions. Where internal clearances are critical, confirm them before placing an order.
Large Lockers for Staff and Shared Workplace Storage
The number of large lockers required depends on whether storage is permanently assigned to employees or shared between different users.
For permanently assigned storage, allow sufficient capacity for each employee's normal equipment and personal belongings. Where lockers are shared between shifts, quantities should be planned around peak simultaneous use, the site's storage policy and the chosen locking method.
Where the main requirement is hanging uniforms rather than storing bulky equipment, compare the available garment lockers before selecting a larger cabinet.
Locking Options for Large Workplace Lockers
Large workplace lockers are available with locking arrangements determined by the selected manufacturer and model.
Key-operated cam locks are commonly used for assigned staff storage. Compatible hasp locks may be suitable where employees provide their own padlocks. Combination or electronic locking systems may also be available on selected models.
Consider how access will be managed, whether replacement keys or master-key access are required, and how locks will be administered when employees change.
For an overview of available mechanisms, see our locker locks and locking options. Confirm compatibility with the selected large locker before ordering an alternative locking system.
Planning a Large Locker Installation
Large and extra-large lockers require careful planning because their cabinet dimensions can affect room layout, available circulation space and delivery access.
Before ordering, confirm the following:
- The number of employees requiring storage.
- The largest items and equipment combinations to be stored.
- The required internal height, width and depth.
- Whether hanging rails, hooks or shelves are needed.
- The available floor area and locker arrangement.
- Door-opening clearance and access routes.
- The preferred locking system and access policy.
- Required frame and door colours.
- Any stands, sloping tops or additional accessories.
- Delivery access, unloading requirements and installation arrangements.
Consider the width of doors, corridors and other access points through which the lockers must pass. For larger projects, provide a room plan showing the available dimensions and intended locker positions.
Locker banks should be installed on a suitable, stable surface and secured where required by the product instructions and site conditions.
Request a Large or XL Locker Quotation
Total Locker Service can help identify an appropriate large-capacity locker for bulky PPE, workwear, motorcycle equipment and industrial storage.
For an accurate quotation, provide the approximate quantity required, the largest items being stored, available room dimensions, preferred locking system and delivery postcode.

Internal Storage and Usable Capacity
The usable internal dimensions of a large locker will be slightly smaller than its external measurements because of the steel construction, door arrangement and internal fittings.
Where lockers are intended for motorcycle helmets, bulky PPE, large tool bags or specialist equipment, measure the largest item and check that it will pass through the door opening and fit inside the locker.
Particular attention should be given to the depth of the equipment, the available door-opening clearance and any shelving or hanging arrangements included with the selected model.
For applications requiring storage of unusually bulky items, confirm the internal dimensions with Total Locker Service before placing an order.
Frame and Door Colour Options
Probe large lockers are available with a choice of frame and door colours, allowing the appearance of the lockers to complement workplace changing rooms, factories and staff facilities.
