Strong Hold Aims to Set GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ Title for Largest Steel Storage Cabinet at PROMAT 2025
Louisville-based manufacturer Strong Hold is making history with its ambitious attempt to set a GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ title for the world’s largest steel storage cabinet. The record-setting event will take place at the Material Handling Industry of America’s PROMAT 2025 Show, hosted in Chicago on March 17, 2025. This bold initiative reflects Strong Hold’s commitment to innovation, engineering excellence, and the ongoing pursuit of redefining industry standards.
A Bold Vision to Break Records
Strong Hold has long been recognized as an industry leader in manufacturing American-made industrial storage and workplace solutions. Headquartered in Louisville, KY, the company has built a reputation for producing some of the most durable, high-quality storage solutions in the market. This year, Strong Hold is taking its innovation a step further by constructing the largest steel storage cabinet in the world.
The idea originated as the company geared up for PROMAT 2025, one of the premier trade shows for the material handling and logistics industry. Strong Hold’s leadership and marketing teams aimed to make a major impact at the event. What initially began as an ambitious concept quickly gained momentum and turned into a reality, generating excitement across the entire company.
“Every year, we strive to top our performance at MHI’s trade show, and with the launch of a brand-new product at this year’s event, we knew we needed to capture the audience’s attention in a big way,” said Tony Diebold, President of Strong Hold. “Our product and marketing teams got the idea to attempt a GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS title, and soon it became more than just a concept. Now, we’re just days away from making it official.”
Beyond the excitement of attempting a world record, the initiative has had a significant cultural impact on the company. “It has brought our employees together in a truly unique way,” Diebold continued. “Every division and nearly all of our 250 employees have played a role in making this happen. It’s more than just a record; it’s a testament to our teamwork, innovation, and craftsmanship.”
The World’s Largest Steel Storage Cabinet: A Feat of Engineering
The cabinet that will take center stage at PROMAT 2025 is a 12-gauge, all-welded steel storage cabinet, built with the same durability and craftsmanship as Strong Hold’s best-selling products. However, this particular model is 3.5 times larger than one of the company’s most popular storage solutions.
The staggering dimensions of the cabinet are as follows:
- Height: 22.9 feet (Nearly Two Stories Tall!)
- Width: 10.6 feet
- Depth: 7 feet
- Weight Capacity: Up to 80,000 lbs
This extraordinary storage cabinet is engineered to withstand extreme conditions, further solidifying Strong Hold’s reputation for manufacturing robust, long-lasting workplace storage solutions.
Official Record Attempt at PROMAT 2025
The official GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS title attempt will take place on Monday, March 17, at 1:00 p.m. CDT, during the PROMAT 2025 Show at McCormick Place in Chicago. Attendees can witness the record-breaking event firsthand at the Strong Hold booth (#3255) in the South Hall.
Representatives from GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS will be present to verify the attempt and officially certify the record. This momentous event is expected to attract industry leaders, professionals, and media representatives eager to see history in the making.
Where Will the Record-Setting Cabinet Go After PROMAT 2025?
Once the event concludes, Strong Hold plans to transport the cabinet back to its Louisville manufacturing center, where it will be displayed as a symbol of the company’s achievements. The record-setting cabinet will serve as a reminder of Strong Hold’s dedication to pushing boundaries and setting new industry standards.
