August is the perfect time to prepare for seasonal demand or upgrade existing storage systems, and with that in mind, Solent Plastics’ latest selection of special offers is designed to help businesses by focusing on three practical storage solutions that combine durability, flexibility and value.
Industrial-grade used storage products are built to last for years, offering exceptional performance at a fraction of the cost. From heavy-duty Euro picking containers to compact component storage and large-capacity warehouse bins; whether you're managing a busy distribution centre, manufacturing facility or stockroom, the right storage solution can make a significant difference to efficiency. Businesses can keep operations running smoothly, reduce picking times, improve stock visibility, create a safer working environment, maximise space and keep products accessible.
Used open-fronted stacking picking container
One of August’s standout products is the 33-litre used picking container available in black, blue or grey for just £3.95 (excluding VAT).
Manufactured in Germany by Bito, these containers are recognised for their robust construction and dependable performance. They remain in excellent structural condition, with only light dust and superficial scratches that don’t affect functionality. Considering the equivalent new product costs around £14.95 each, they’re outstanding value.
The generous front opening allows quick and easy access to stored items, even when stacked, making them particularly useful for busy picking operations. Moulded hand grips make lifting and moving the containers simple, while integral label slots ensure stock can be clearly identified.
Its sturdy construction makes this stacking pick bin suitable for everything from warehouse shelving to temporary storage during busy periods. It also works well as a flexible replacement for traditional racking systems.
Small parts storage made simple
Many operations need reliable storage for smaller components or production parts, and that's where the used storage bin comes into its own. With dimensions of 600mm x 230mm x 140mm and straight sides, it offers greater capacity than many standard component bins.
An integrated front label area makes stock identification quick and straightforward, helping staff locate contents efficiently. Although not every bin includes dividers, the generous internal space is ideal for storing screws, fittings, electrical components, laboratory supplies, stationery, manufacturing parts and countless other small items.
Designed specifically for shelving and floor stacking, this picking bin fits neatly into many existing systems.
XL open-fronted stacking picking bin
For larger storage requirements, the XL stack-and-nest picking bin offers an impressive combination of capacity and versatility.
Originally used in lightweight warehouse applications, these bins have been carefully maintained and retain excellent structural integrity and with a generous 50-litre capacity, they are well suited to warehouse storage, order fulfilment, manufacturing operations and garage or utility room organisation.
The large front opening allows operators to retrieve stock quickly without needing to unstack containers, helping to improve efficiency. You can stack safely up to five or six bins high, while maintaining easy access – an effective way of increasing storage density without reducing accessibility. Easy to move, the lightweight construction facilitates a stacked load capacity of up to 50kg across five levels.
When not required, these bins also nest together, allowing up to 95 units to fit within a single pallet space. For businesses with changing seasonal demands, this feature makes warehouse organisation significantly more efficient when containers are temporarily out of use.
Manufactured from recycled grey polypropylene, they offer an environmentally conscious choice, giving industrial materials a longer working life.
Making the most of warehouse space
Efficient storage isn't simply about fitting more products into a warehouse: it's about creating systems that make stock easier to identify, quicker to access and safer to handle. Choosing quality second-hand industrial containers also helps businesses make more sustainable purchasing decisions.
If you're considering an upgrade, now is the ideal time to secure these high-quality used containers before stocks run out.
