“All our GearBoss products meet high standards for robustness and practicality, which I appreciate,” explains Ryan Grant, athletic equipment tech at Mt. San Antonio College (Mt. SAC) in Walnut, CA. “I pay close attention to detail; I thoroughly test whatever we purchase so I know everything about it.”

Mt. SAC is the second largest community college in the state, serving over 28,000 students. Known for its strong athletic program, the college has won 90 state championships, including 59 titles since 2000.

In 2023, the new 110,000-square-foot Gym, Aquatics, and Wellness Center opened to serve students, athletes and the community. Throughout this facility, GearBoss storage solutions help organize and protect equipment.

Ventilated Lockers. “We have AirPro lockers in 18 locker rooms; the largest locker rooms have approximately 150 lockers each,” says Grant. “Unlike the metal lockers used in most high schools, the AirPro lockers have excellent ventilation, which prevents odors from lingering.” For easy cleaning, dust and debris fall through the metal grate of the locker’s bottom storage cubby; the elevated design also facilitates sweeping or mopping.

Rugged Storage Carts. To meet Mt. SAC’s diverse storage needs, GearBoss X-Carts were selected for their versatility and durability. “I appreciate how rugged and robust these carts are, even when holding heavy items,” notes Grant. “They are very impressive.” The five X-Carts are used for multi-purpose storage, including two for concession stand supplies such as cases of Gatorade and water bottles, often stacked high. He claims that Mt. SAC’s storage units from a competitor are not as sturdy and would bend under such weight.

Flexible Shelving. The GearBoss shelving units installed in three of the four equipment rooms provide a highly efficient, flexible and strong storage solution according to Grant. “It’s awesome!” he exclaims, adding that he appreciates the hanger bars for air-drying uniforms. The ample tabletop surface facilitates sorting gear and assembling travel bags; the adjustable height enables flexibility such as for putting laundry carts underneath.

Wenger salutes Mt. SAC’s commitment to athletic excellence that guided this facility’s development and is proud to supply reliable, effective GearBoss storage solutions that help support the Mounties’ ongoing success.
