The NC-251 is a **47×31 bulk container that nests**: a solid-walled tub
on five legs that drops inside the one below it when it is empty, and
sits on top of it when it is full.

### The empty-return problem
A rigid bulk container that cannot nest is freight you pay for twice,
once full and once as air. This one tapers from its **1200 × 780 mm rim**
down to a smaller base, so empties collapse into each other with no
hinge, no pin and nothing to fold. That is what puts **510 on a jumbo
trailer and 450 in a 40 ft high cube**, figures that only work nested.

Turn it around and it **stacks** instead, seated on the rim of the one
below. The datasheet marks that switch with a rotation symbol set between
the nesting and the stacking illustrations. **Planning a loaded column?
Ask us** and we will confirm it.

### Capacity and dimensions
- **Outside 47.24 × 30.71 × 24.80 in (1200 × 780 × 630 mm)**
- **Inside 44.29 × 27.17 × 19.88 in (1125 × 690 × 505 mm)**
- **79 US gal (300 L)**
- **37.48 lb (17 ± 0.5 kg)**

Dimensions carry a **±5 mm production tolerance**.

### Ratings
- **Static load 1,731 lb (785 kg)**
- **Dynamic load 551 lb (250 kg)**

Both assume an **evenly distributed load** and fall with a concentrated or
point load.

### Construction
The walls are **solid and unperforated**, so loose and fine material stays
where you put it, and the inside is smooth. The floor is not bare: it
carries **one raised moulded ridge along a long side** and **a rounded lug
in each corner**. Corners are **rounded**, as the plan view shows.

It stands on **five legs: four at the corners and one at the centre**. The
drawing puts the corner legs at **171 × 128 mm** in plan and **115 mm**
clear of the floor, and the centre leg at **64 mm diameter**.

### Food handling
This container carries the **glass-and-fork food-contact symbol** and is
food-grade, suited to **meat, fish and poultry processing** and the
storage of **food additives and spices**. **Food-contact certification
is available on request.**

### Where it goes
Vegetables, fresh and dried fruit, nuts, small parts and loose bulk goods,
across **food production, agriculture and industrial manufacturing**, and
also **construction, municipal services and winter road maintenance**.
The container **adapts well to automatic conveying systems**.

Handled with a **forklift, reach truck or hand pallet jack**.

### Cleaning and resistance
**Washable and suitable for disinfection.** Resistant to water, to
airborne environmental pollutants and to corrosive chemicals.

### Identification
Logo **printed**, in a **200 × 80 mm panel on the long side**, on the flat
of the wall rather than on a leg.

Supplied in **grey, white, navy or blue**, with other colours to order.
