Our innovative 71.5-litre Euro picking container is a practical warehouse storage solution designed to meet a wide range of needs. Currently the only open-sided foldable picking container available in the UK, it’s an attractive option for businesses seeking something more versatile than traditional bins.
Designed for practical performance
Engineered with usability in mind; the Euro-standard footprint of 600 x 400mm ensures compatibility with existing shelving, racking systems and transport equipment, making it easy to integrate into current operations.
With a generous 71.5-litre capacity, it provides ample space for storing and transporting a variety of items. Internally, it measures 580 x 385 x 320mm; the external dimensions are 600 x 400 x 329mm - proportions that strike a balance between capacity and manageability.
One of its most distinctive features is the large open side, measuring 385mm wide and 290mm high. This design enables quick and easy access to the contents, making it particularly suitable for order picking and fast paced environments where efficiency is crucial.
Benefits of foldable design
The container will collapse down to just 75mm in height when not in use – that’s a reduction to around 20% of its original size. For warehouses dealing with fluctuating stock levels or seasonal demand, this feature can free up valuable space.
Foldable storage containers are especially useful in logistics operations where transport efficiency matters. Empty containers can be folded flat, reducing the space required for return journeys and lowering operational costs.
For businesses buying in bulk, there’s a direct cost benefit: customers who purchase 75 units or more can take advantage of a reduced unit price of £14.95 (£17.94 including VAT). That’s a 6% saving compared with the standard price of £15.75 excluding tax. When combined with operational efficiencies, bulk purchasing becomes an even more attractive option for growing businesses.
Strength and durability with ABS plastic
One of its standout qualities is the container’s construction from shatterproof ABS plastic, or Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene. A high-performance thermoplastic known for its strength, impact resistance and durability, it maintains its structural integrity, even under demanding conditions, and is less likely to crack or break when subjected to heavy use.
It also performs well across a range of temperatures, which adds to its versatility in different storage settings. Lightweight at just 2.2kg, it is easy to handle during daily operations. The combination of durability and manageable weight ensures it withstands regular use without becoming cumbersome.
Style meets functionality
The clean and modern design and white finish offer a professional appearance that suits retail environments, stockrooms and point-of-sale displays. Ventilated sides and base are a thoughtful addition, allowing air circulation within the container. This is particularly useful for storing items that must remain dry or free from condensation.
At the same time, the clear plastic storage containers enable improved visibility of the contents without compromising on strength. Ergonomic handles make lifting and carrying more comfortable, while also aiding the folding mechanism. Label slots on the ends provide a simple way to identify contents quickly, helping to streamline organisation and reduce picking errors.
Versatile uses across industries and homes
While suited to warehouse and logistics environments, its versatility extends far beyond! In commercial settings, the Euro container is ideal for order picking, stockroom organisation, component storage and even as a temporary racking alternative during periods of high demand.
Retailers can use it for point-of-sale displays or seasonal promotions: the open-sided access makes it easy for staff to replenish stock quickly, while the neat appearance ensures it looks presentable in customer-facing areas.
At home, it can be used in garages for tool storage, in utility rooms for household items, or in campervans and caravans, where space efficiency is essential. Its foldable nature makes it appealing for camping trips or temporary storage needs, as it can be packed away easily when not required.
Load capacity and reliability
Despite its foldable design, the container does not compromise on strength. The load capacity of 15kg per box, with a stacked capacity of up to 60kg, ensures it can handle a wide range of items, from lightweight goods to heavier components.
The robust construction and secure stacking capability make it suitable for long-term storage as well as daily operational use. Whether used individually, or as part of a larger system, it’s a reliable solution for keeping items organised and accessible.
A well-rounded and innovative plastic storage solution that addresses the practical challenges of modern logistics; the combination of durability, flexibility and thoughtful design makes this box suitable for a wide range of applications, from industrial environments to everyday
