The 4 Popular Bulk Container Modifications
February 13, 2023
The 4 most common bulk container modifications
RPP Containers offers a wide variety of
reusable plastic bulk containers. With our range of sizes, weight capacities, and container options we can usually help find the perfect bulk bin for your application. Sometimes, however, your application and bin needs can be more specialized and require modifications to our bins to make them your perfect solution. The following are the four most common
bulk container modifications.
1 - Custom Height Containers
Our standard bulk containers are available in heights of 25”, 34”, 42” and 50”. Over the years, these heights have shown to work for most of our customers. However, if you have extremely dense products or large, awkward parts, we can customize these heights to work specifically for you. With our line of fixed wall bulk containers, we can customize the height of your container from 8-24 inches tall for extremely dense loads like bearings or engine blocks. For larger awkward items like columns or display stands, we can use our modular bulk containers to extend the height of our 45x48 bins by 7” and 10” increments.
2 - Lockable lid containers
The standard bulk container lid simply sits on top much like a shoebox lid. These lids do not add any structural integrity to the bins, they simply function as dust covers. Over the years, we have had customers ask for lockable lids for security or tamper-evident seals so they can make sure contents aren’t disturbed during transit. For lockable lids, we can use hasps along with D-rings that allow for the use of padlocks or combo locks. For a tamper evident seal, corresponding holes can be drilled into the bins and lids to be used with zip ties or tamper evident tags.
3 - Removable wall containers
The variety of our
DuraGreen collapsible plastic bulk containers
have drop doors on the long sides of the bin for easy access. These doors tend to be around 1/3 of the full height of the container and make it easier to load and unload products from the bins. For certain awkward or heavy products, it can be difficult to lift those items high enough to get over the standard drop door. On many of our containers we can modify the sidewall of the bins to allow for one wall to be removed to allow for easier loading and unloading of products. This process normally leaves around a 2–4-inch lip from the bottom of the container, but still vastly increases accessibility to the bin.
4 - Full side access containers
If the 2-4-inch lip on the bottom of the container creates issues for your particular use case, we can also modify most of our containers to have full side access. This modification removes an entire side wall all the way down to the inside floor of the container. This allows items to be forklifted directly into the bin. Full side access containers tend to use a metal frame to keep the side walls rigid which renders them non-collapsible.
Do you have questions?
The above list is by no means an exhaustive description of our modification options.
