A storage (20) assembly includes a storage cabinet (26) removably mounted to a wheeled base (28) which is supported by a supporting surface such as a floor (24). A guide assembly (42) is interconnected with the floor (24) and the base (28) for guiding movement of the base in a longitudinal direction, so as to provide movement of the storage cabinet (26) between an extended position and a retracted position in response to application of an axial pull-out or push-in force to the cabinet. The guide assembly (42) includes an inner mounting member (122) secured to the floor (24), and an extendible and retractable guide mechanism (132) extends from the inner mounting member (122). The guide mechanism (132) may be in the form of a telescoping drawer slide assembly including a fixed-position member (134) secured to the inner mounting member (122) and an extension member (136) secured to and interconnected with the base and slidably mounted to the fixed-position guide member. A floating engagement arrangement can be provided between the extension member (136) and base (28) so as to provide relative vertical movement between the base (28) and the extension member (136) as the base is moved on the floor, to accommodate unevenness in the floor (24). A releasable retainer mechanism (182) can be interposed between the base (28) and the guide assembly (42) for releasably retaining the storage cabinet (26) in either its extended position or its retracted position. The storage cabinet (26) is removably mounted to the base (28) by a removable mounting arrangement (84,108,118) which requires a minimum number of tools to secure the storage cabinet to the base and which provides quick and easy mounting and demounting of the storage cabinet relative to the base. A shim system (232,232') is engaged with the base (28) for providing the dual function of locating the corners of the storage cabinet (26) relative to the base (28) and for selectively shimming one or both sides of the storage cabinet to adjust the position of the storage cabinet relative to the base. <IMAGE> <IMAGE> |
