September can be a useful time to review your storage, particularly if your business is preparing for seasonal demand. Whether you need to accommodate additional stock, equipment or packaging, the right containers can help you make better use of the available space.
When a tote is the answer
For businesses moving goods between warehouses, vehicles, stores or customers, a container can spend much of its life being handled. This makes durability, stacking and security as important as simply having sufficient capacity.
Our used 44-litre super strong tote box with an attached lid is a practical option for businesses that need durable storage for moving and organising goods. Made from heavy-duty polypropylene, it has a 35kg load capacity and measures 600 x 400 x 250mm externally, with an internal size of 530 x 355 x 228mm. In good condition, it also features a label holder, making it easier to identify contents at a glance. For larger orders, 68 units are available from £6.95 each excluding VAT, making them a cost-effective option for equipping multiple areas or locations.
For a business handling multi-drop deliveries, returns, equipment, event materials or stock transfers, this tote storage box can solve several challenges at once. The attached lid helps keep contents contained and protected during movement between locations. It could also be useful for organising maintenance equipment, consolidating promotional materials or creating repeatable “job boxes” for teams working across different sites.
When space saving matters
In environments where goods are regularly picked, loaded and unloaded, quick access can be valuable. This is where stackable storage containers can prove their worth. Our used 42-litre heavy-duty storage containers are designed for businesses that need durable, space-efficient storage. Made from polypropylene, they measure 600 x 390 x 290mm externally, with an internal size of 515 x 315 x 260mm. The containers feature a metal swingbar and can stack when full and nest when empty, helping businesses make better use of available storage space. They also include drainage holes, making them particularly suitable for goods where ventilation and easy cleaning are important. Their 42-litre capacity makes them suitable for a range of commercial applications including stock control, retail, distribution, warehousing and logistics, as well as businesses handling fruit, vegetables, bread or field equipment.
The containers are used and may have some dust or external stickers but are structurally sound. When appearance is less important than function, a used plastic storage container that still has plenty of useful life left can represent a sensible alternative to buying new.
For larger orders, 75 units are available from £3.45 each excluding VAT, making them a practical option for businesses looking to standardise storage across multiple areas or locations.
Small components, big difference
Storage challenges are not always about bulky goods. Sometimes, it’s the handful of washers, fittings, connectors or components that seem to disappear just when they’re needed.
With a 1-litre capacity, our small parts storage bin have an open-front design that gives users easy access to contents, while an integral label holder makes identification straightforward. Measuring 169 x 105 x 75mm, each bin has a 3kg load capacity - stacked bins can support up to 45kg. They can also be stacked or fitted onto louvred panels, making them a flexible option for organising workspaces.
The original Allibins from Allibert are particularly suited to manufacturing, production and workshop environments, where keeping small parts and components organised can make everyday tasks more efficient. They could be used for frequently required fixings in a maintenance department, tools and consumables in a workshop, or components in a production or picking area. Their compact size also makes them useful in vehicles, shops and garages where storage space is limited.
Choosing the right storage for your business
Consider whether contents need to be protected, how much weight the container needs to support and whether you need easy access or flexible storage. It can also help to think about how storage will fit into your wider operation, particularly if multiple teams or locations use the same system. How often will the containers likely be moved and will they need to be stacked, nested or transported between locations?
