Industrial Containers, Totes, and Trays

Industrial Containers, Totes, and Trays

Keep parts moving and workstations organized with industrial handheld containers and totes built for production floors, warehouses, maintenance departments, and shipping areas. These are purpose-built to handle daily abuse, lifting, stacking, staging, and transport, while keeping small parts, components, and supplies sorted, protected, and easy to grab.

Whether you're feeding an assembly line, running kitting operations, or cleaning up inventory chaos, the right tote system improves speed, accuracy, and ergonomics and reduces time wasted hunting for parts, reworking damaged items, or re-picking the wrong components.

Industrial plastic containers reduce damage, disorganization, wasted space, and rising handling costs. Stackable, nestable, and heavy-duty options help maximize space and maintain consistent, repeatable storage, while supporting vertical storage that reduces floor congestion and product damage. CustomMHS supplies durable container systems that deliver long-term performance and measurable productivity gains.


Selecting the Right Type:

♦ Storage style: choose Stack & Nest for space-saving flexibility, Stack Only for maximum stacking strength, or Nest Only for compact empty-container storage.
♦ Application: choose Part Wash Containers for cleaning workflows or Conveyor and Assembly Trays for production line handling.


Where Commonly Used:

♦ Assembly Lines and Kitting Operations: the right tote system improves speed, accuracy, and ergonomics.
♦ Warehouses and Distribution Centers: stackable and nestable containers maximize vertical storage.
♦ Maintenance Departments, wire baskets, and part wash containers support cleaning and organization workflows.
♦ Shipping Areas: durable totes withstand daily lifting, stacking, and transport.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is the difference between stack, nest, and stack-and-nest containers?

The difference is what happens when the container is empty. Stack only containers stack on top of each other whether full or empty, giving maximum stacking strength but no space savings when idle. Nest only containers slide inside one another when empty, which is compact but does not stack when loaded. Stack-and-nest containers do both, stacking when full and nesting when empty. CustomMHS carries the full line of container and tote systems, backed by each manufacturer's warranty.

Which style should I choose for my operation?

Look at how many empties you hold at a time. Stack and nest is the flexible middle option and suits most facilities, since containers cycle between loaded and empty. Stack only makes sense when containers stay loaded and stacking strength under heavy contents is the priority, which is why fiberglass appears in that group. Nest only fits operations where empty container storage is the constraint and stacking loaded containers is not part of the workflow.

When do I need vented rather than solid containers?

Vented containers allow air to move through the load, which matters for parts that arrive damp from washing, plating, or machining, and for anything that would trap moisture in a sealed container. Solid containers fully contain contents, which keeps small items from working through openings and keeps dust off what is inside. Both stack and nest containers and Kadon heavy-duty containers are offered in each version, so the choice comes down to the material rather than the container style.

What are divider boxes and cross stack tubs used for?

Divider box containers use adjustable dividers to separate small parts within one container, so several part numbers stay sorted without needing a separate tote for each. That suits kitting and assembly work where a single container feeds multiple components to a station. Quantum cross stack tubs take a different approach, allowing secure stacking in either orientation, which gives flexibility in how stacks are built and accessed.

How do containers and totes help your facility?

Standardized containers make storage repeatable, so parts occupy known space and stack predictably rather than being fit around whatever boxes are on hand. That supports vertical storage, which reduces floor congestion and keeps material off the ground where it gets damaged. Sorted, labeled containers also cut the time spent hunting for parts and the rework that follows when the wrong component gets picked. In assembly and kitting operations, a consistent tote system directly affects picking speed and accuracy, and I.D. label placards keep contents identified as containers move between departments so nobody has to open a tote to learn what is inside.
