47×31 Nestable Bulk Container, 25 in, 5-Leg

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.

• 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.

• 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.

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.

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.

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.

Washable and suitable for disinfection. Resistant to water, to airborne environmental pollutants and to corrosive chemicals.

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.
