Types: Solid vs. Vented
Solid containers have solid sides all the way around and a solid bottom, making them suitable for fine powders and liquids. Vented containers have small slots on all sides and on the bottom, more fitting for produce, medium to large parts and contents needing air flow or drainage capability.
Runners
The pallet skids on the bottom of the container. Some containers have the runners on the long dimension of the container so that the container is wider than it is deep when handled by a forklift. Short side runners run on the short dimension of the container so that the container is deeper than it is wide when on a forklift. This difference can be significant when it comes to aligning with machinery to dump contents into vats or other equipment, or fill from a particular piece of equipment.
