How do you choose size, material and temperature?

Material

Stack-and-hang bins, shelf bins and grid containers are injection-molded from high-density polypropylene made from FDA-approved materials. Straight wall and attached lid containers are high-density polyethylene. All are waterproof, will not rust or corrode, and clean with soap and water.

Temperature

Stack-and-hang bins, extra large stacking bins, grid containers and straight wall containers are autoclavable up to 250°F and resistant to extreme cold, so they are safe for freezers and coolers.

Sizes and fit

Product pages list outside and inside dimensions separately; check the inside dimensions against the part you are storing. Shelf bins and stacking bins come in 12", 18" and 24" depths to match standard shelving. Bins ship in cartons, so order in carton multiples.

Frequently asked questions

What are industrial storage bins?

Industrial storage bins are heavy-duty plastic bins, totes and containers molded from high-density polypropylene or polyethylene for repeated handling in warehouses, plants, shops and stockrooms. Unlike household bins, they stack under load, hang on panels or sit on shelving, and take dividers, labels and lids.

What is the difference between stack-and-nest, straight wall and attached lid containers?

Stack-and-nest containers stack when full and nest when empty to save space on the return trip. Straight wall containers have smooth vertical walls for maximum usable space and stack up to 175 lb, but do not nest. Attached lid containers add a hinged lid for closed-loop transport and moving. See our guide to choosing warehouse containers.

Are your bins freezer-safe and autoclavable?

Yes. Stack-and-hang bins, extra large stacking bins, grid containers and straight wall containers are autoclavable up to 250°F and resistant to extreme cold, so they can go into freezers and coolers.

Do you sell in bulk, take purchase orders and offer Net 30?

Yes. Volume discounts apply in the cart, 5% over $1,000 and 10% over $2,500, with custom quotes over $5,000. We accept purchase orders and offer Net 30 to qualified accounts. See the B2B center or apply for terms.
