Manufacturers in infrastructure, transportation, and heavy fabrication industries require storage solutions that can safely handle dense, high-weight components while maximizing floor space. Plymouth Industries recently engineered and fabricated a heavy-duty stackable steel storage bin to meet the demanding requirements of a large-scale infrastructure contractor operating in bridge and structural fabrication.
Designed for strength, stackability, and forklift handling, this custom storage bin delivers long-term durability in harsh industrial environments while supporting efficient material flow.
Built for Heavy Loads and Industrial Handling
This stackable steel storage bin was designed to safely support up to 4,000 lbs per unit while maintaining consistent stack alignment up to four bins high, allowing facilities to dramatically increase vertical storage density without compromising safety or access.
Key structural features include:
- 12-gauge steel deck for high load-bearing capacity
- 14-gauge steel side panels for rigidity and impact resistance
- Reinforced corner posts to ensure stable stacking
- Integrated forklift pockets for safe and repeatable handling
This construction makes the bin ideal for storing heavy fabricated parts, structural components, tooling, or subassemblies commonly found in bridge construction and large-scale fabrication environments.
Designed for Real-World Shop and Yard Conditions
Unlike light-duty wire baskets or plastic containers, these industrial stackable storage bins were designed for long-term outdoor and indoor use. Drain holes in the steel deck allow water and debris to exit the bin, helping protect stored components and extend service life in yards, warehouses, or fabrication shops.
With approximately 36 inches of usable interior space and a footprint optimized for standard forklifts, these bins balance capacity with maneuverability, supporting lean manufacturing and organized material staging.
Space-Efficient Stackable Storage
Floor space is a premium in most industrial facilities. These stackable metal storage bins allow operations to store more material vertically while maintaining clear access for forklifts and operators. When stacked, the bins remain aligned and stable, making them suitable for:
- Work-in-process (WIP) storage
- Finished goods staging
- Raw material or component storage
- Outdoor yard organization
This stackable design helps reduce clutter, improve safety, and streamline inventory management.
Custom Fabrication to Match Operational Needs
As with all Plymouth Industries solutions, this custom steel storage bin was engineered to meet specific operational requirements. From material thickness and load ratings to dimensions and handling features, each bin is designed around how it will actually be used in production and logistics environments.
This approach ensures customers receive a storage solution that integrates seamlessly with existing workflows, forklifts, and stacking practices.
