Those Wacky People At Staber Industries, What Will They Think Of Next?

Doesn't seem too wacky to me. Lots of industries need controlled temperature cabinets for drying/curing etc. It might be a bit pricey though.
Having one at home to dry your shoes would indeed be VERY wacky!

Think of the possibilities: Sweaters on the top rack, beef strips for jerky in the middle, and wet sneakers on the bottom. I'm in!

Has anybody lived in an old apartment building with heated drying cabinets in the depths of the building where clothes could be hung on rods above the steam pipes to bake dry?
Not wacky or far fetched at all.
There are many industrial and food processing uses for climate controlled drying cabinets. Many of these applications require VERY precise temperature, air purity and ambient humidity conditions where atmospheric drying/curing is not suitable. This type of cabinet in a modified form could also be used for controlled climate line drying of rugs and other delicate fabrics that can not be tumble dried in commercial laundries.

Again, Did Not ... Oh Forget It.
Know very well what drying cabinets are for, but question if Staber's latest offering will prove anymore reliable and or durable then their top loading H-Axis washing machines.

The top loading H-Axis washer, now that was wacky! 
Somehow I think it would be tough to mess up a metal cabinet with a heater in it, even for Staber!

I beleive fire depts use these dryers for firemens' masks and helmets after cleaning them.

Got your drift Laundress.
Have seen those in bakeries as proofing cabinets.
There are times I have wanted one, Maytag built a drying cabinet for a couple years before their death by acquisition.

Drying cabinets or drying cupboards are very popular in Scandinavia. The one shown is indeed for firemen's equipment.

Perhaps the price is rather high because it is manufactured to certain standards?
Staber sells a household one too for a fraction of the price:

Perusing the "zoom" view of the ad pics, there's a label Industrial Drying Cabinet on the control panel.
I remember ads for drying cabinets in 1920s and 30s shelter magazines before clothes dryers were invented. In the UK and some other European countries, a contraption was mounted above the AGA. It was a drying rack that could be lowered for hanging and removing laundry and then raised up to near the ceiling where it was out of the way while the clothes dried in the heat above the stove.
We had a Flatley
which was a free standing drying cabinet back in the 50's and they were fine as long as you like cardboard linen

These under-the-ceiling contraptions are still available today. Have seen them in several German catalogs.

Have been around at least since the Victorian age if not before. You can still purchase them new from a variety of places. All work on the same theory that heat rises so laundry was raised up towards the ceiling to take advantage of warmer air currents. It also got washing out of the way (depending upon ceiling height) so one could still move about.
Units range in size from what would fit into a small kitchen to huge long versions seen at great houses or estates or commercial laundries.
AGA range or whatever for most homes these things were located in kitchens since that is where the main source of heat could be found.
The downside to all this was all that one had to use a kitchen being under wet and dripping laundry. This also made the kitchen damp and or humid as well. Finally more likely than not washing became scented by whatever was being cooked. Cannot imagine what kipper scented laundry must be like.
AGA and similar ranges over the years sold various accessories to take advantage of the "always on" heat given off by these beasts. Persons in the USA whom have had AGAS installed (or purchased homes with them already there) seem to either love or hate the things.
