Bin Types and Sizes

Bin size starts with the shelf or rack that will hold the bin. Shelf bins come in lengths for 12, 18, and 24-inch-deep shelves, and Hulk containers are approximately 24 inches long, for 48-inch-deep pallet rack. We measure the shelf or rack depth first, then select the width and height for the parts.

Bin	Sizes	Mounting	Details
Economy Shelf Bins	Lengths for 12, 18, and 24-inch shelves	Standard shelving, deep shelf units, and racks	An open hopper front and a rear hang-lock that allows the bin to tilt out on the shelf for full access. The polypropylene resists chemicals, oil, and grease.
Store-More 6” High Shelf Bins	12 sizes, all 6 inches tall and approximately 4 to 11 inches wide	Standard shelving, deep shelf units, and racks	The same hopper front and hang-lock in a 6-inch-tall bin, with reinforced edges.
Ultra Stack & Hang Bins	Approximately 5 to 18 inches long	Shelves, louvered panels and rails, or stacked on each other	Molded rear hangers for louvered panels. An anti-slide lock and a wide stacking ledge prevent stacks from shifting forward. When the bin hangs on a panel or rail, the load capacity runs from 8 lb for the smallest size to 75 lb for the largest.
Hulk Containers	6 sizes, approximately 24 inches long and 7 to 12 inches tall	48-inch-deep pallet rack and extra-deep heavy-duty shelving	For large, bulky parts. The containers stack and are available in red, blue, or yellow. The two largest sizes are also available in a mobile version on swivel casters with brakes.

Options and Materials

Once the bin size is set, dividers, labels, and other options fit the bins to the parts they hold.

Dividers and Bin Cups

Dividers fit across a bin to separate it into compartments, and they are available for all four bin types. Shelf bins also accept bin cups, small removable cups with their own label slot.

Labels and Barcodes

Shelf bins have a molded label holder on the front, and extended label holders provide space for a larger barcode. Ultra bins have a large front label slot sized for barcode scanning. Hulk containers accept an adhesive clear label holder.

Clear Windows

Hulk containers and most Ultra sizes accept an optional clear window across the open front, so the contents are visible without removing the bin. On Ultra bins, the window also keeps dust and dirt off the parts.

Wet, Cold, and Hot Areas

All four bin types are waterproof plastic and do not rust. Ultra bins and Hulk containers resist extreme cold and can be steam sterilized in an autoclave at up to 250°F.

Bins and Shelving Together

Because the shelf depth sets the bin length and the space between shelves sets the bin height, we quote the shelving and the bins together for a new parts room or a shelving replacement. Our own installers handle the shelving on local projects.

Shorter bins allow closer shelf spacing. The 6-inch Store-More bins fit the same 12, 18, and 24-inch shelves as the other shelf bins but place more rows of bins in the same unit. Industrial shelving

Bin and Container Questions

Where are all sizes listed?

The manufacturer’s catalog pages list each Store-More, Ultra, and Hulk size with its outside and inside dimensions. Catalog pages are available for Store-More shelf bins, Ultra stack and hang bins, and Hulk containers.

Are these bins compatible with existing bins?

Ultra stack and hang bins are designed for use with the bins of other manufacturers, so they can be added to an existing bin system.

Can bins hang on a wall instead of a shelf?

Yes. Ultra bins have molded rear hangers that hook onto louvered panels and rails.

Do plastic bins affect a fire permit?

They can, when the storage requires a high-piled storage permit. For most products, that permit is required when the top of the stored product is higher than 12 feet. The fire code classifies stored products by how readily they burn, and the plastic in a load, including the packaging, can move the load to a higher class. For bins stored high on rack, we include the bin contents in the permit review. Permitting
