Industrial Plastic Containers, Solid Walls and Botton

Straight-wall industrial plastic containers

Straight-wall industrial plastic containers are designed for storing, warehousing, handling and transporting parts, tools, supplies and manufactured products. Their vertical walls make efficient use of the interior space, while the solid bottom retains the contents and protects the surfaces beneath the container.

Manufactured from polypropylene, EF Series containers are intended for industrial applications. Their reinforced construction is suitable for daily operations in manufacturing plants, workshops, warehouses and distribution centres. Their smooth interior also facilitates cleaning between uses.

These containers are stackable with or without a lid. Several sizes share the same footprint, allowing different heights to be selected while maintaining an organized and consistent storage system. These models are not food grade.

Compare the available sizes

Dimensions and capacities are approximate and may vary slightly. Interior dimensions should be used to verify the actual available space, while exterior dimensions help confirm compatibility with equipment and storage areas.

Why choose a straight-wall industrial container?

Efficient use of interior space

Unlike a tapered-wall container, a straight-wall container maintains a more consistent interior width from the bottom to the top. This construction is suitable for storing parts, components, tools and products that require a regular interior space.

The solid bottom prevents small parts from falling through the container. It is also suitable for items that must be protected from dust coming from the floor or material-handling surfaces.

Stackable sizes

EF containers stack on top of one another with or without a lid. Stacking helps make better use of vertical space in shelving, on pallets and in storage areas.

These containers are not nestable. Unlike containers designed to fit inside one another when empty, straight-wall containers prioritize interior capacity and stacking stability.

A series designed for industrial handling

Integrated handles facilitate manual handling. Several sizes can also be used in facilities equipped with conveyors, pallets or workstations.

To move several containers at once, see our dollies for plastic containers. Compatibility depends on the container size and the selected dolly.

How do you choose the right size?

The 16" × 12" models are suitable for small parts, tools and supplies requiring a compact container. Three heights are available while maintaining the same footprint.

The 24" × 16" containers are available in several heights, with capacities ranging from 23.2 to 83.8 litres. This variety makes it possible to standardize a storage area or handling method while using different volumes.

The 32" × 24" model provides the largest capacity in this category. It is suitable for larger products that remain within the container’s load capacity.

Before selecting a model, verify the dimensions of the contents, the available space, the weight being transported and compatibility with your shelving, conveyors or pallets. Lids for plastic containers are available for certain sizes.

Common applications

Straight-wall industrial containers can be used for:

• Storing parts and components.
• Supplying workstations.
• Handling manufactured products.
• Storing tools and supplies.
• Order picking.
• Internal transport between departments.
• Organizing inventory in warehouses and distribution centres.
• Cleaning or soaking certain industrial parts.

Compare other types of plastic containers

If the lid must remain with the container during transportation, see our plastic containers with attached lids.

For applications requiring material that complies with food-contact requirements, choose our food-grade containers with solid walls and bottoms.

When airflow or water drainage is a priority, containers with vented walls and bottoms may be more suitable.

Frequently asked questions

Are these containers stackable?

Yes. EF Series containers are stackable with or without a lid.

Are they nestable when empty?

No. Their straight walls prioritize interior capacity. The containers remain stackable, but they do not nest inside one another.

Are these containers food grade?

No. The models in this category are intended for industrial applications.

What is their load capacity?

The models shown have a load capacity of 55 lb. The load must be appropriate for the contents, handling method and conditions of use.

Can a lid be added?

Lids are available for certain sizes. Compatibility must be confirmed for the selected model.
