Used Nestable Totes

Nestable totes are a great addition to any warehouse or distribution center. These totes are made of durable plastic for long-lasting use. The strong durable construction protects contents of containers. They allow you to store the same amount of product as a stackable storage bin but when empty they take up significantly less space. Nestable totes do as the name says they nest inside one another for minimal storage space when empty. Some of the bins American Surplus offers are both a stackable storage bin and a nestable tote which you can pick how they sit but simply spinning the tote around 180°. Not everyone calls them bins or totes, some refer to plastic totes as: used plastic stackable totes, used warehouse totes, used plastic bulk containers, used attached lid totes, used plastic shelf bins, or used stock picking totes.

About Nestable Totes or Stackable Totes

Nestable totes are made from high density synthetic resins specifically for this type of tote. The nesting tote is resistant to most chemicals and solvents. Totes are easy to clean and can withstand a wide range of temperatures. Because of its nestability i.e., (being able to nest inside each other), a considerable number of totes can be stored in a relatively small area when nested.

Nestable totes can be palletized to be moved with a forklift or maneuvered easily via a tote cart. Consider purchasing an inexpensive platform for storing pallets of totes above an area that can be used for other activities. Stacking can be accomplished by purchasing optional lids that will prevent product against dust and dirt.

Features include: Easy to clean, nestable for compact storage, able to withstand wide range of temperatures, optional lid to protect product from dirt and dust, strong and durable.

This feature enables businesses to optimize their storage space, as well as reduce their transportation and storage costs. Nesting also makes it easier to move and handle the containers, as they can be lifted and carried in bulk.

Nestable tote bins are also designed with ergonomic features that make them easy to handle and transport. Many models come with comfortable handles, reinforced corners, and smooth interior surfaces to prevent damage to the contents.
