Used Bulk Containers
Each RefurBest® used bulk container goes through a full-scale quality and functionality inspection, repair process, and power washing. RefurBest® used bulk containers are safe, clean, and carry a one-year warranty for functionality.
Our Process
Inspect
Our technicians inspect every bulk container to determine if they are in good working condition.
Repair
Repairs are made to ensure the container is functional and structurally safe.
Quality Check
Once the repairs are made, every aspect of the container is reviewed a second time to ensure it meets our quality standards.
Clean
Finally, all used bulk bins are power washed using a high-pressure, power wash system.
What is the criteria for a used bulk container to become a
RefurBest® used bulk container?
Inspection Points:
- Feet and corners
- Fork straps
- Hinges/latches
- Sidewalls
- Drop doors
Feet and Corners: GO
The bulk container load is carried through the feet and rib structure down to the ground. 80% or more of the load is carried in the four corners. Therefore, corners and feet must be damage-free to ensure that weight is transferred vertically down through the corners and fully supported on an even floor or racking surface.
Feet and Corners: NO-GO
Missing or damaged feet are the most critical inspection point and number one reason to remove a bin from circulation. The bulk container's load is carried vertically in the corners down to the ground. Missing or damaged feet interrupts the transfer of weight and is a "NO-GO" condition.
Fork straps: NO GO
If a bulk container is missing or has a damaged fork strap, it is in a “NO-GO” condition.
Hinge/latches: GO
Latches are a critical part of the bulk container functionality. Latches ensure that the connecting sidewalls are securely engaged and locked into place. Also, that drop doors are positively engaged to the sidewall.
Hinge/latches: NO-GO
Inspect that hinges and latches are present, not damaged, and have a free range of motion. Inspect the condition of the locking tabs. If the latch tabs are broken, then the drop door or sidewall can not safely engage and compromise the bulk container's integrity. Missing and damaged tabs or latches are in "No-Go" condition.
Sidewalls: GO
Cosmetic or minor rib damage to the sidewall of the bulk container is acceptable and contributes to only a minor reduction in bin performance.
Sidewalls: NO-GO
Bulk containers that have sidewalls with vertical cracking or damage along stacking rail are “NO-GO” conditions. Sidewalls with damaged fingers or hinge rods that prevent proper engagement to the base are also NO-GO conditions.
Drop doors: GO
Bulk containers must have fully functioning drop doors with fully functioning latches and tabs. Bulk container drop doors also require fully functioning hinges or rods that securely attach them to the container wall.
Drop doors: NO-GO
Missing or damaged drop doors prevent the vertical transfer of load to the floor. Bulk containers with missing or damaged drop doors are a “NO-GO” condition.
