Industrial Plastic Storage Bins & Containers

Industrial storage bins and containers are used in a variety of settings including warehouses, manufacturing facilities, construction sites, and distribution centers. The characteristics of these bins and containers that are most critical for industrial users are as follows:

Durability

Industrial bins and containers must be highly durable to endure the conditions often found in industrial environments. They should be durable and able to resist chemicals, scratches, and general wear and tear. When we talk about durability we're referring to the ability to handle weight, resist damage, and withstand environmental conditions.

Size and Capacity

Depending on the type of materials or products being stored, industrial containers may need to be large or small, shallow or deep. The size should match the volume and weight of the items they are designed to store. Luckily, there are a variety of different sizes, shapes and functionality so you are likely to find exactly what you have in mind.

Stackability

Stackability is crucial in industrial settings for optimizing space and for safe and secure storage. Containers should be designed to stack securely, even when fully loaded. Our stacking bins have anti-slip ledges that hold stacked bins into place.

Visibility

For better organization and quick content identification, bins can be color-coded, transparent, or semi-transparent. If not, they should have a provision for attaching labels or barcodes. In many cases, companies color code their warehouse using different colored shelf bins, helping increase day-to-day efficiency in the warehouse.

Material

The material of the bins and containers should be chosen based on the environment and the type of items stored. Heavy-duty plastics, metals, or other materials might be needed depending on the situation. In many cases, FDA approved materials are required and thats when our cross-stack tubs come into play.

Ease of Cleaning

Especially in settings where contaminants could be a problem, containers should be easy to clean and sanitize.

Types of Industrial Storage Bins & Containers

Stack and Nest Totes

Stack and Nest Totes are highly versatile storage solutions for various commercial environments, including industrial, commercial, retail, and healthcare settings. These totes are industrial-grade, meaning they're built from durable, high-density materials that withstand heavy-duty usage. The unique design of these totes allows them to stack when full and nest inside each other when empty, saving valuable floor space and aiding in transportation efficiency. Their rugged construction makes them resistant to impacts and temperature extremes, offering longevity that translates into cost savings in the long term.

Dividable Grid Containers

Dividable Grid Containers are ideal for storing, assembling, and distributing a variety of small to medium-sized parts in industrial and commercial settings. They are made from robust materials, ensuring a long service life even under heavy use. Their key feature is the ability to create compartments of varying sizes within the container, providing a high level of customization for specific storage needs. This divisibility enhances organization, reduces the risk of misplacing items, and increases operational efficiency, making these containers an excellent choice for sectors such as retail, healthcare, and other commercial environments.

Attached Lid Distribution Containers

Attached Lid Distribution Containers are specifically designed to meet the high demands of storage, distribution, and order picking tasks in commercial environments. The attached lid makes these containers excellent for securing content, reducing the risk of loss during transportation, and protecting items from dust and dirt. These industrial-grade containers are built to withstand repeated use in rigorous environments, offering excellent durability. The stackable design facilitates efficient space usage, making them a preferred choice for industries where space optimization is crucial.

Straight Wall Stacking Containers

Straight Wall Stacking Containers offer maximum cubic capacity and are ideal for heavy, dense, or bulky items. Their straight walls enable containers to stack securely, optimizing vertical storage space and offering a stable load for safer transportation. These containers are made with industrial-grade materials, ensuring they resist impact, temperature variations, and continuous heavy-duty use. Their ability to enhance space utilization and streamline operations makes them ideal for industrial, commercial, retail, and healthcare settings.

Cross Stack Tubs

Cross Stack Tubs provide a versatile storage solution suitable for a wide range of environments. Their unique design allows them to be stacked in one direction and nested in another, maximizing space usage both when full and empty. These tubs are crafted from heavy-duty materials, making them reliable for industrial use. The easy-to-clean surface makes them ideal for healthcare environments, where hygiene is paramount. In retail and other commercial settings, cross stack tubs help enhance organization and workflow efficiency, thanks to their durability and smart design.

All Purpose Tubs

All Purpose Tubs are true workhorses in industrial, retail, healthcare, and other commercial environments. Manufactured with sturdy materials, these tubs are designed for heavy-duty usage, guaranteeing longevity even in rigorous settings. Their robust build can withstand various stresses, ranging from heavy loads to high-impact activities. Thanks to their simple, functional design, all purpose tubs are flexible for a broad spectrum of uses, from parts storage to product transportation.

Latch Containers
