Full details

FAQs
Is the lid completely waterproof?
The lid is designed to snap tight for security and dust protection, but it is not rated as airtight or fully waterproof.
Can I stack these totes when they are full?
Yes, the BRUTE tote design is specifically engineered for stable stacking to maximize vertical storage space.
Is this safe for cold storage?
Yes, the product is fridge-proof and designed to handle varying temperatures common in commercial kitchens.
What are the exact dimensions of this unit?
The dimensions are 419mm in height, 708mm in width, and 81mm in depth.
Does the material contain BPA?
As an NSF-certified food storage container, the materials used are chosen for safety and compliance with food handling standards.
Can I use this for liquid storage?
While the container is sturdy, it is not designed to be a leakproof tank for liquids; it should be used for solid items or packaged goods.
Troubleshooting
Lid feels difficult to snap on
Ensure the container is not overfilled; contents pushing against the lid will prevent the locking mechanism from engaging properly.
Water pooling inside the handles
Ensure the drainage holes are free of debris or dirt buildup that may be clogging the opening.
Container is slippery on smooth surfaces
The reinforced bottom is designed for durability, not grip. Use a non-slip liner underneath if placing on polished tile or wood floors.
Pros and Cons
Pros

- NSF-certified for safe food handling
- Drainage holes prevent bacteria buildup

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is straightforward: simply align the lid with the top rim of the container and apply downward pressure until you hear the snap locks engage. For routine care, wash the interior and exterior with warm water and mild detergent. The tote is dishwasher safe, but due to its size, hand washing with a soft brush is often more effective. To maintain the integrity of the plastic, avoid using harsh abrasive scouring pads. If the tote is used for outdoor storage, ensure the lid is fully snapped in place to prevent wind or moisture intrusion. The product is compatible with standard industrial racking systems due to its rectangular, stackable design.
