The Fixed Wall Bulk Container: Revolutionizing storage and transportation for industrial applications

Fixed Wall Bulk Containers

Fixed wall bulk containers have become indispensable in various industries thanks to their durability, versatility, and efficiency. Fixed wall bulk containers are widely used for industrial distribution and in the automotive industry to ship high-weight, low-volume parts such as engine blocks, brake rotors, and transmissions and work very well for items that put a lot of lateral pressure onto the walls. This blog post will explore how fixed-wall containers are used and how they have revolutionized storage and transportation processes across different applications.

Fixed Wall Bulk Containers

Efficient Storage Solutions:

Fixed wall bulk containers are versatile containers that offer a wide range of benefits that make them a preferred choice for many industries. Their stackability feature allows maximum use of vertical space, optimizing storage capacity in warehouses or manufacturing plants. With fixed walls that provide sturdy support, these containers can withstand heavy loads and minimize the risk of damage to stored goods. The fixed wall container was originally invented to ship small, heavy parts in the auto industry but has found its way into other various procedures, and most fixed wall containers can hold up to 2,000 lbs. of weight.

Streamlining Supply Chain Operations:

The standardized footprints available for fixed wall bulk containers enable compatibility and ease of integration into existing logistics systems. The 30" x 32" foot print is ideal for extremely dense parts like engine components. For larger parts the 45" x 48" footprint is the best option for items like chains, pipe fittings, cable spools, and larger machined parts. Their uniform sizes allow for efficient integration with automated systems, streamlining the process and reducing the time and effort required for handling and sorting.

Environmental Benefits:

 One of the primary benefits of fixed-wall bulk containers is their ability to reduce waste and minimize the environmental impact of warehouse operations. By replacing single-use packaging materials with a reusable alternative, businesses can significantly reduce the amount of waste they generate, lowering disposal costs and reducing their carbon footprint. Fixed wall bulk containers are designed to be extremely durable, are made from high-density polyethylene, and are 100% recyclable. Once your fixed wall bins have reached the end of their usable lifecycle, they can be sent back to RPP Containers. We purchase and recycle HDPE plastic bulk containers. By responsibly recycling your old, broken, or unwanted plastic bulk containers, you play an important part in the bulk container's continuing and sustainable life cycle by keeping this packaging from going to the landfill.
