This guide is for individuals and households seeking a robust storage solution for both indoor and outdoor use. The Strata Heavy Duty Storage Box with Wheels offers a large 175L capacity and a waterproof lid, providing a secure place for garden tools, home items, or office supplies, with the added benefit of easy mobility thanks to integrated wheels. A potential consideration is the lid's height, which adds to the overall dimensions and may require extra consideration for placement.

The external dimensions for the 175L box are approximately: Length: 94 cm, Width: 52 cm, Height: 56 cm. The lid adds an additional 7 inches (approx. 17.8 cm) to the overall height.
While the boxes are waterproof and secure, they are primarily designed for general storage. For food items, it is recommended to use food-grade containers inside the storage box to ensure safety and hygiene.
No, a padlock is not supplied with the storage box. A padlock loop is provided on the lid for optional security.
Each 175L box has a maximum weight capacity of 470kg.
The boxes feature a waterproof lid with secure clips designed to provide a well-sealed closure, protecting contents from water and dust. However, they are not manufactured to be completely airtight.
The stackable design allows for efficient storage. While the exact number of boxes that can be safely stacked depends on the weight of the contents and environmental conditions, it is generally recommended to stack responsibly and ensure stability.
The boxes are manufactured from premium quality, durable recycled plastic.
Ensure there are no obstructions on the rim of the box or the lid. Check that the clips are fully engaged and that the contents inside are not preventing a flush closure.
Check the wheels for any debris, dirt, or tangled material. Clean the wheels and the surrounding axle area. Ensure the box is not overloaded beyond its intended capacity, which can make movement harder.
While the lid is designed to be waterproof, heavy, prolonged rainfall or submersion could lead to minor seepage. Ensure the clips are fully secured and consider placing the box in a sheltered location if extreme weather is a constant concern.
Ensure the boxes are placed on a level surface. Stack only with identical or compatible Strata storage boxes. Avoid overloading the top box, and ensure the base box is stable.
Setup: These storage boxes are designed for immediate use upon arrival. Simply unpack the set of two boxes. Ensure the lid is properly aligned and secured with the two solid handle clips. For added security, a padlock (not supplied) can be fitted through the designated loop on the lid.
Compatibility: The boxes are compatible with standard padlocks for security. Their neutral black color and functional design make them suitable for most garden, home, or office environments. Ensure the surface they are placed on is relatively even to allow the wheels to function smoothly.
Care: To clean the boxes, use a damp cloth with mild soap if necessary. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the plastic. Ensure the boxes are dry before storing sensitive items. Periodically check the wheels for debris that might impede their movement. The recycled plastic construction is designed for durability, but extreme prolonged exposure to UV rays may eventually affect the material.
