Store fluids only in properly sealed, labeled containers and follow the product label requirements. Keep them away from heat sources, ignition sources, children, pets, and incompatible chemicals.

Wall-mounted hooks, tool racks, and vertical storage systems can help keep rakes, shovels, brooms, and similar tools accessible. Confirm the rack is rated for the tools’ combined weight.

Some are designed to support vehicle traffic, while others are intended only for foot traffic or work areas. Verify the product’s load rating, chemical resistance, and suitability for your vehicle use.
