Rigid steel containers feature corner columns made of structural angle or steel tubing, with welded stacking plugs. The columns transmit overhead load weight directly to the floor, thus these containers can be stacked higher than lighter duty rigid containers without corner columns. Stacking heights are limited only by the dimensions of the stacks, the lift height of your fork trucks, and the clear height of the facility.
Because of the column transfer of overhead load weight, rigid containers can be ordered with a lower capacity rating than standard containers. Each unit is capacity rated by the weight of the contents of each individual unit, while with other designs the containers would have to be rated to carry the cumulative total weight of all units in a stack.
Available in a wide variety of constructions, capacities, sizes, quantities, and colors, to customer specifications. Many options are available, including drop gates, skid bars, for stirrups, fork pockets, crane eyes, etc. Rigid steel containers are an excellent solution to a variety of material handling applications--contact us today for more information.
