FAQs

What are the exact external dimensions of the 175L box?

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.

Can these boxes be used for storing pet food or other consumables?

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.

Is a padlock included with the storage box?

No, a padlock is not supplied with the storage box. A padlock loop is provided on the lid for optional security.

What is the maximum weight capacity for each box?

Each 175L box has a maximum weight capacity of 470kg.

Are these boxes completely airtight?

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.

Can I stack more than two boxes high?

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.

What material are the boxes made from?

The boxes are manufactured from premium quality, durable recycled plastic.

Troubleshooting

Lid does not close securely

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.

Wheels are difficult to move

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.

Water ingress despite a closed lid

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.

Box feels unstable when stacked

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.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Generous 175L capacity per box for ample storage.
  • Durable, heavy-duty construction suitable for outdoor conditions.
  • Wheels make transportation easy and reduce physical strain.
  • Waterproof lid with secure clips and padlock option for added protection.
  • Stackable design optimizes storage space.
  • Versatile for use in garden, home, or office environments.

Cons

  • The lid adds significant height, which might impact storage in low-clearance areas.
  • Padlock is not included, requiring a separate purchase for enhanced security.
  • While durable, plastic can degrade over extended extreme weather exposure.
  • Individual box weight (5.08kg) can be substantial when empty.
  • Dimensions are considerable, requiring adequate space for storage and placement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

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.
