Are mobile pedestals appropriate for server rooms or IT closets?

Small to mid-size server rooms or IT closets sometimes use mobile pedestals to store spare parts, cables, and IT consumables near the equipment racks. A mobile pedestal in this context should be: steel construction (to resist heat and static discharge risks better than laminate); non-locking or keyed to IT department only; placed away from rack unit airflow paths; and clearly labeled with contents for fast spare-parts access. The heat and potential static environment of a server room means standard laminate pedestals are less appropriate.
