The RC-124 is a **closed-walled bulk container with a drop door**: a
hinged panel in one long wall swings down so the box can be emptied
without tipping it.

### Where it sits in the range
Four boxes share this envelope. Two ways of getting the load out, two wall
types:

- **RC-121** closed walls, lift the load out
- **RC-122** closed walls, **drop door**, offered on runners **or nine legs**
- **RC-123** **perforated** walls, lift the load out
- **RC-124** closed walls, **drop door**, runners only

If your load needs air, the perforated RC-123 is the one to look at. This
is the closed box, for anything fine or loose that must stay in.

### How it differs from the RC-122
Honestly, very little. **Same envelope, same 700 litres, same four load
ratings, same freight, same door.** Two things separate them:

- The **RC-122 is offered on nine legs as well as runners**, which buys
  pallet jack access from all four sides. This one is **runners only**.
- This one is **3.31 lb lighter**, 97.00 lb against 100.31 lb.

**If you are choosing between the two, the base is the question**, and it
is worth a call rather than a guess.

### Capacity and dimensions
- **Outside 47.24 × 39.37 × 36.02 in (1200 × 1000 × 915 mm)**
- **Inside 43.70 × 35.43 × 27.56 in (1110 × 900 × 700 mm)**
- **185 US gal (700 L)**
- **97.00 lb (44 ± 0.5 kg)**

The drawing gives the as-moulded height as **910 mm** against the nominal
915, and splits it into an **850 mm box on 60 mm of base**. The wall
section is **45 mm** at the ends, which is the 90 mm the 1200 mm outside
loses against the 1110 mm inside. Dimensions carry a **±5 mm production
tolerance**.

**Ask us if the opening height matters** and we will confirm the door
depth.

### Ratings
- **Static load 11,023 lb (5,000 kg)**
- **Stacking load 11,023 lb (5,000 kg)**
- **Dynamic load 2,205 lb (1,000 kg)**
- **Racking load 2,205 lb (1,000 kg)**

All assume an **evenly distributed load**. Every rating matches the other
three boxes on this envelope, so **cutting a door through a wall costs
this container nothing on paper**. The runners are what make it
rack-capable.

### Base
Two **snap-on** runners over nine feet, **150 mm across**, leaving clear
openings of **375 mm along the long side and 275 mm along the short
side**. The feet sit on a **three by three grid** and both chains close
exactly on the 1200 × 1000 footprint.

### Where it goes
Vegetables, fresh and dried fruit, nuts, small parts and bulk goods,
across **the food industry, agriculture and industrial production**. It
**adapts very well to automatic conveying systems**, and **the material
is food-grade**.

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 or embossed**, both offered, in an **80 × 70 mm panel on
the centre leg**. **RFID transponders can be
integrated.** Supplied in **grey, white, navy or blue**, with other
colours to order.

### Freight
**104 per jumbo trailer and 84 in a 40 ft high cube**, the same as every
other box on this envelope.
