From RS Pro range of economy plastic storage bins made from robust recycled polypropylene designed for simple and effective small parts organisation and storage in the workplace and in the home. These storage bins are stackable and can be stacked on top of one another to provide both a space saving solution to your storage needs and ease of handling. The front of the bin is open to allow easy access to the contents. Moulded recesses on the front of the bin allow the insertion of index cards or labels for easy identification of contents.

A storage bin is a type of storage box that is used for storing multiple small components or parts. These bins can be used on their own, placed on shelves or stacked on top of one another. They can also be used with louvred panels or cabinets to form part of a larger storage system.

Bins are used in a wide range of industries as well as in the home to provide a clutter-free and functional way of storing and organising components and household items. These plastic storage bins are commonly used in modern warehouses and manufacturing as parts bins where they are mounted on louvred panels or in racking systems. The use of an effective storage system helps to improve both workflow and efficiency. Plastic storage boxes can also be used in hospitals, workshops, offices, laboratories and garages

These plastic bins are made from recycled polypropylene. Polypropylene is a type of thermoplastic and is tough, lightweight and has excellent stiffness and impact strength. This thermoplastic also has good fatigue resistance which means it will retain shape after a lot of bending and flexing. Polypropylene also has excellent chemical resistance.

These plastic storage bins have the following features and benefits:

• Reduced cost and carbon footprint while maintaining quality
• Recyclable and environmentally friendly
• Strong and heavy-duty design with reinforced base, sides and stacking rim
• Made from injection moulded robust recycled polypropylene which is both durable and resistant to most industrial solvents
• Polypropylene can withstand a temperature range from -15 °C to +50 °C. However, this is dependant upon use or application and may not apply when the storage bin is under load or stress
• Non-toxic
• The inside faces of the plastic storage container are smooth, clean and hygienic and prevent the build-up of substances such as grease. These storage bins are also easy to clean
• Moulded in index card slot on the front of the storage bin is provided for product identification

Please note that when stacking these bins that the entire stack load is dispersed onto the bin at the bottom therefore neither the individual load or the total load of the stacked containers (up to the maximum stack height) should exceed the maximum stack load. Please see datasheet for stacking load information

These plastic storage bins can be used separately, mounted on louvred panels or stored in cabinets and open racked shelving to form a larger storage system. The following storage systems are available from RS Pro

A louvred panel system is designed for holding plastic bins and is an alternative to shelving. The storage bins are simply hung on to the slots on the panel. The use of these panels maximises storage space.
