Product Information

Full details

The Slingsby Large Storage Container is an ideal solution for offices, warehouses, or home environments that require efficient waste management or organized storage. Designed for versatility, this 50-litre container offers a robust polypropylene build that allows units to stack and nest, maximizing your floor space. While the included articulated lid and recycling labels make it excellent for sorting waste, users should note that the castor wheels are sold as an optional add-on, meaning the base unit is stationary by default.

FAQs

Can I stack these containers when they are full?

Yes, they are designed for secure stacking even when filled to capacity.

Are the castor wheels included?

No, the castor pack is available as an optional accessory.

What is the total height of the unit with the lid?

The overall height including the lid is 345mm.

Is the material resistant to cleaning chemicals?

Polypropylene is resistant to many common household and industrial cleaners, though harsh solvents should be avoided.

Can these be used outdoors?

While durable, they are primarily designed for indoor use. Prolonged UV exposure may degrade the plastic over time.

Troubleshooting

The lid hinge keeps detaching.

Ensure the lid is fully snapped into the plastic hinge receivers; if the plastic has expanded, gently press the connection points back into alignment.

Containers are difficult to pull apart when nested.

Vertical suction can occur when nesting plastic. Gently wiggle the container while lifting to break the air seal.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Space-saving design allows for both nesting and stacking
  • Sturdy polypropylene material offers long-term durability
  • Includes a convenient hinged lid to conceal contents
  • Highly visible red colour is ideal for color-coded waste systems
  • Versatile design suitable for either storage or recycling

Cons

  • Castor wheels for mobility are not included as standard
  • Fixed dimensions may not fit in extremely tight shelving gaps
  • The 50L size might be bulky for small under-desk areas

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The containers arrive ready to use. Simply snap the articulated lid into place using the designated hinge points. If you have purchased the optional castor pack, follow the included hardware instructions to bolt them to the base of the container before use.

Compatibility: These bins are standardized to work with other units in the Slingsby range. They are designed to nest within identical models, ensuring that unused storage does not consume excess warehouse space.

Care: Clean the polypropylene surface using a mild detergent and water. Avoid using abrasive scouring pads that might scratch the plastic finish. Because the material is plastic, keep it away from direct sources of extreme heat or open flames to prevent warping.
