Built for Heavy-Duty Handling
Shipping, storage, and work-in-progress: wherever heavy parts need a rigid, stackable container.
Warehouse & Pallet Storage
Straight walls stack squarely and nest tightly on standard pallets, so loaded containers store and ship as a stable block. Flat sides take barcodes for scan-in, scan-out inventory.
Manufacturing & Work-in-Progress
Move heavy parts, castings, and subassemblies between stations without bending or cracking a container. Reinforced rims keep a stacked batch stable.
Automation & Conveyor Lines
Uniform straight-wall footprints run cleanly on conveyors and in automated material handling, the application covered in our automation totes guide.
Tool & Maintenance Storage
The smooth interior cleans out easily and the finger grips make a loaded container simple to pull off a shelf. Optional lids keep dust off spares between uses.
Straight Wall Container Specs: Sizes, Stacking & Accessories
Straight wall stacking containers are heavy-duty HDPE totes built for shipping, storage, and work-in-progress handling. The walls go straight down instead of tapering, so you get the most usable interior space of any stacking tote, and loaded containers stack squarely or nest tightly on a standard pallet. Here's what matters when you're speccing them:
Stacking Strength
Reinforced corners, external ribbing, and stacking rims give every size a 175 lb stacking capacity, so loaded containers stay stable and secure when stacked.
Material & Durability
Injection-molded from high-density polyethylene (HDPE), which resists wear, warping, and cracking through repetitive industrial handling.
Sizes & Fit
Seven sizes on three footprints — 12 × 7½″, 12 × 15″, and 24 × 15″ — plus a 24 × 22½ × 11″ extra-large, from 0.1 to 3.5 cubic feet. Use the filters above to narrow by outside length, width, and height.
Handling & Interior
Finger grip handles on two sides make a loaded container comfortable to carry. The smooth, flat interior uses the full capacity and cleans out easily.
Labeling & Identification
The flat outside wall takes a barcode or label directly. Optional 3″ × 5″ adhesive clear label holders and inserts are available for part identification.
Lids, Dollies & Cartons
Optional lids (LID1215 and LID2415) add containment. Heavy-duty polymer dollies with 1,000 lb capacity are available for the 24″ footprints. Every size ships 5 per carton.

Straight Wall Container FAQ
Straight answers before you order
Which size straight wall container do I need?
Start with the outside footprint. The 12″ × 7½″ and 12″ × 15″ models suit small parts and bench work, the 24″ × 15″ models are the general-purpose warehouse size in three heights, and the 24″ × 22½″ × 11″ model is the largest at 3.5 cubic feet. Use the Outside Length, Width, and Height filters above to narrow the table, and open the quick view on any row for inside dimensions.
How much weight can these containers hold when stacked?
Each container has a stacking capacity of 175 lbs. Reinforced corners, external ribbing, and stacking rims carry the load of the containers stacked on top without warping or cracking.
Are lids available?
Can I put these containers on a dolly?
Yes. Two heavy-duty polymer dollies with 1,000 lb load capacity and non-marking swivel casters are available. DLY-2415 is 24″ × 15″ with a 1″ ledge and fits the 24″ × 15″ containers. DLY-3018 is 30″ × 18″ with padded rubber trim. The RSO2422-11 container must be used with the DLY-3018 dolly.
Do straight wall containers nest on a pallet?
Yes. The straight-wall footprint lets loaded containers sit tightly together on a standard pallet with no wasted space between them, so a pallet load stacks square for storage and transit. Containers can be modularly stacked regardless of size.
What are they made of?
High-density polyethylene (HDPE), injection-molded for durability and resistance to wear. The smooth, straight-wall interior maximizes storage space and cleans out easily.
How many containers come in a carton?
Every size ships 5 containers per carton. The price in the table is per container, and quantities are entered in cartons.
Do you offer volume discounts on large orders?
Yes. Volume discounts are applied automatically in your shopping cart. For larger projects or mixed-product orders, request a bulk quote and we will return tiered pricing, usually the same business day. Purchase orders are accepted.
"A game-changer for our warehouse." These heavy-duty stacking containers are a game-changer for our warehouse. We've been using them for over a year now, and they've held up incredibly well. We regularly stack them with over 100 lbs. of heavy parts, and they don't bend or crack like some others we've tried. The hand grips make them easy to move around, even when fully loaded, and the smooth interior makes it easy to clean out dust and debris. Definitely a solid investment if you need something that can take a beating and last.
