Metal bins provide a heavy duty way to handle parts within a manufacturing environment. Most metal bulk containers are rigid but they also can be collapsible.
Rigid metal bulk bins are especially suited to any kind of metal working plant, such as metal stamping, forging, casting, etc. The rigid metal bulk containers are often suited to handle 4,000 lbs or more and can be stacked several bins high. We have an inventory of collapsible and rigid used and new metal containers. We also can provide custom quotes.
Collapsible metal storage bins by comparison tend to be lighter duty than the rigid metal storage bins. Collapsible bins tend to be weight rated between 1,500 and 4,000 lbs. The collapsible metal bins are a nice option when you need less capacity or need to help save with shipping costs as they can be collapsed, thereby reducing the size of an empty container. The collapsed storage bin can be stacked in a corner of the warehouse, or they can loaded onto a trailer for return shipment to your plant.
