Product Information
Full details
This blue plastic storage bin is designed for professionals and DIY enthusiasts needing robust containment for workshop supplies. Its key benefit is extreme durability, resisting damage from impacts, chemicals, and temperature fluctuations. A caveat is that it's sold in case quantities only, making it unsuitable for individual, small-scale needs. The bin is manufactured from shockproof polymer, offering resistance to mild acids, solvents, and oils, and boasts high thermal stability for use in various environments.

FAQs
What are the exact dimensions of the bin?
The overall size of each bin is approximately 105mm (width) x 165mm (depth) x 85mm (height).
Can these bins be used for food storage?
The product description does not specify food-grade certification. It is recommended to use these bins for industrial or workshop materials, not for direct food contact.
What is the net weight of a single bin?
The net weight of a single bin is approximately 4.29kg.
How many bins are in a case quantity?
Each case contains 48 plastic storage bins.
Are these bins stackable?
While not explicitly stated as a feature, the design of storage bins generally allows for stacking. For optimal stability, stack bins of the same size and ensure they are placed on a level surface.
What kind of chemicals can the bin resist?
The bins are resistant to mild acids, solvents, and oils. They are not rated for strong corrosive chemicals.
Can the bins withstand freezing temperatures?
Yes, the bins have high thermal stability and are designed to resist damage from extremes of temperature, including freezing conditions.
Troubleshooting
Bin appears cracked or brittle
Ensure the bin has not been exposed to extreme temperatures beyond its rated stability or harsh chemicals not listed as compatible. Check for signs of excessive impact. If a defect is suspected, contact the supplier, especially if within a warranty period (if applicable).
Surface staining from chemicals
Attempt to clean the stained area immediately with a mild detergent and water. For persistent stains from compatible chemicals, the performance of the bin is typically unaffected, though appearance may change.
Difficulty stacking or fitting together
Ensure bins are clean and free of debris. Check if bins are designed to be stackable in a specific orientation. Minor variations in shape are unlikely due to manufacturing standards, but verify all bins are from the same product line.
Pros and Cons

- Stable performance across a wide temperature range
- Aids in organized storage with its distinct color
- Suitable for bulk purchasing needs
Cons
- Sold in case quantities (48 units) only, not individually
- May be less suitable for light-duty or domestic use where extreme durability is not required
- Specific chemical resistance is limited to mild acids, solvents, and oils
Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: These bins are designed for immediate use upon unboxing. No assembly is required. They are intended for direct placement on shelves, workbenches, or within larger storage systems.
Compatibility: While compatible with most standard shelving units, their primary compatibility lies in their material resistance. They can safely store a wide range of items, including small tools, hardware, chemicals (mild acids, solvents, oils), and electronic components. Ensure stored items do not exceed the bin's capacity or recommended weight limits (not specified, use general discretion).
Care: To maintain the integrity and appearance of the plastic storage bins:
- Cleaning: Wipe clean with a damp cloth. For tougher residue, use mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh solvents that could damage the polymer.
- Temperature: While resistant to extremes, prolonged exposure to direct, intense sunlight or temperatures far beyond typical workshop conditions may accelerate material degradation over time.
- Handling: Although shockproof, treat with reasonable care to maximize lifespan. Avoid dropping from significant heights onto hard surfaces repeatedly.
