Containers - Bulk Size

Bulk Boxes and Bulk Containers | Collapsible, Rigid, Metal, and Wire

CustomMHS offers an extensive selection of bulk boxes and reusable bulk containers for demanding material handling applications across picking, assembly, processing, storage, and distribution. Capacities range from 900 to 8,000 lbs depending on construction type and series. Collapsible containers, rigid containers, metal containers, and wire bulk baskets are available in light, medium, and heavy-duty designs to suit the application.


Reusable bulk containers offer a high strength-to-weight ratio, impact resistance, and long-term durability compared to disposable packaging. Collapsible models with drop-down doors provide easy access and fold flat for space-saving storage when empty. Heavy-duty, rigid, and metal options withstand demanding daily use in industrial environments. Most containers are stackable and designed for transport by forklift or pallet jack.

Product Categories:

♦ Collapsible Bulk Containers, 30"x32" to 45"x48" footprint options. Capacities from 1,200 to 2,500 lbs depending on brand and series. Brands include Monoflo, Triple Diamond, Orbis, and Buckhorn. Drop-down door design folds flat for compact storage when not in use.

♦ Fixed Wall Containers, Buckhorn BF-Series. Two sizes: 28.8" x41.8" and 44" x48". Rigid one-piece wall construction for applications where collapsibility is not required.

♦ Davco Collapsible and Rigid Metal Containers, 40.5"x34.5" footprint. 3,200 lb capacity. Available in collapsible, rigid, and knock-down configurations.

♦ Wire Bulk Baskets, Davco and Worldwide Material Handling wire mesh bins. Capacities range from 2,500 to 5,000 lbs, depending on the model. Open wire construction for ventilation and visual inventory checks. Collapsible, rigid, and knock-down configurations available.

Where Commonly Used:

♦ Picking and Order Fulfillment Operations: distribution centers and fulfillment operations use bulk containers to consolidate picked product before staging and shipping, with stackable designs that maximize storage density during peak volume periods.

♦ Manufacturing Work-in-Process Handling: production facilities use bulk containers to move components and sub-assemblies between manufacturing stages, with collapsible designs reducing return-trip freight costs and storage footprint when empty.

♦ Long-Term Bulk Storage, warehouses and distribution centers use rigid and metal bulk containers for extended storage of inventory, raw materials, and finished goods, with stackable designs supporting efficient use of vertical storage space.

♦ Returnable Packaging Programs, manufacturers and distributors running closed-loop returnable packaging programs use reusable bulk containers to reduce single-use packaging costs and waste compared to disposable corrugated alternatives.

CustomMHS is an authorized distributor for all brands on this page. All purchases include the manufacturer's factory warranty.

 

 

Bulk Box

Collapsible bulk containers have a variety of benefits that make them essential tools for many industries, particularly for transportation and storage. Here are some of the primary advantages of using collapsible bulk containers:

♦ Space Saving: One of the primary benefits of collapsible bulk containers is their ability to save space. When not in use, these containers can be collapsed to a fraction of their full size, making them much easier to store. This can be particularly beneficial in warehouses or other storage facilities where space is at a premium.
♦ Durability: Many collapsible bulk containers are made of durable materials like high-density plastic that withstand a lot of wear and tear. This means they can be used repeatedly without breaking or becoming damaged, which can save money in the long term.
♦ Cost-effective: Because they can be collapsed and stacked when not in use, collapsible bulk containers can significantly reduce the costs associated with storage and transport. They allow more empty containers to be transported simultaneously, reducing overall transportation costs.
♦ Sustainability: By using collapsible bulk containers, companies can reduce their use of one-time packaging materials, making their operations more sustainable. They are reusable, and some are made from recycled materials.
♦ Protection: These containers are often designed with a specific purpose in mind and provide excellent protection for goods during transportation. They can prevent damage from impact, moisture, dust, and other external factors.
♦ Versatility: Collapsible bulk containers can store and transport various items. They come in various sizes and designs to fit different needs. Some have added features like lids, doors for easy access, or dividers for organizing content.
♦ Easy to Use: Most collapsible containers are designed to assemble and disassemble without needing tools. This can save time in busy warehouse environments.
♦ Improved Efficiency: Using collapsible bulk containers can streamline operations and improve efficiency. They make loading and unloading products more accessible, and their uniform size can simplify planning and organization.
♦ Improved Safety: Collapsible bulk containers are designed to be stable when stacked, reducing the risk of accidents in the workplace.

Overall, the benefits of collapsible bulk containers make them an excellent choice for any business transporting or storing large amounts of goods.
