Custom Base and Foot Options

Fork Strap Reinforcements

Fork strap reinforcements for plastic bulk containers are vital enhancements that significantly improve these containers' durability and handling efficiency. These reinforcements provide added strength to the areas where forklifts engage the container, preventing wear and tear caused by frequent handling and heavy loads. By reinforcing the fork strap zones, the risk of cracking or breaking under stress is minimized, extending the container's lifespan and ensuring it can withstand the rigors of industrial use. Moreover, these reinforcements can improve the safety of handling operations, as they reduce the likelihood of accidents caused by container failure. Reinforced fork straps also contribute to better load stability during transport and storage, protecting the contents from damage. Overall, fork strap reinforcements are a valuable enhancement that improves plastic bulk container reliability, safety, and longevity.

Fork Strap Removal

Specialty material handling equipment with oversized fork tynes typically does not interface with standard collapsible bins. However, the Custom Team at RPP can modify bins to work with most specialty pieces of material handling equipment. Modifications include fork strap removal and sometimes narrowing of the center foot on the base. By eliminating the fork strap, the container's design becomes more streamlined and user-friendly, facilitating easier and faster handling with specialized equipment. This reduction in complexity can decrease the likelihood of damage to both the container and the handling equipment, leading to lower maintenance costs and extended lifespan for both bin and equipment. 

Picker Foot

Specialty Order Pickers or Cherry Pickers, material handling equipment, typically do not interface with standard collapsible bins. However, the Custom Team at RPP can modify bins to work with most models of order picker or cherry picker material handling equipment. Modification options include:

• Removing fork straps.
• Reducing the width of the center foot.
• Installing custom picker foot designs from either wood or steel.

With RPP custom picker foot solutions, returnable collapsible bins can now be used in areas of the supply chain and warehouses that were previously limited to wooden pallets.
