Fiberglass-Reinforced Totes Built for Heavy-Duty Industrial Use
When you're moving parts, components, or materials through a production line, warehouse, or distribution center, the containers you use matter more than most people think. Flimsy plastic bins crack, warp, and wear out fast, especially in environments with temperature extremes, chemicals, or heavy loads. That's where Plexton Stack and Nest containers earn their keep.
At DC Graves, we carry the full line of Plexton Stack N Nest containers: fiberglass-reinforced totes engineered for the kind of abuse that would destroy a standard storage bin. These aren't your lightweight warehouse totes. They're built to handle up to 500 pounds per container, with the bottom tote in a stack supporting up to 3,000 pounds.
How Stack and Nest Design Works
The beauty of a stack and nest container is in its versatility. When loaded, they stack securely on top of each other for stable, vertical storage. When empty, rotate them 180 degrees, and they nest inside one another, cutting your empty container footprint dramatically. That dual function alone saves a significant amount of floor space in any facility dealing with return logistics, seasonal inventory swings, or batch processing.
What Makes Plexton Stack N Nest Containers Different
These are not commodity totes. Here's what sets them apart:
- Fiberglass-reinforced construction: Delivers impact resistance and structural rigidity that standard polyethylene containers can't match. Available with or without a wire-reinforced rim for extra durability.
- Extreme temperature tolerance: Rated for continuous use at 250°F and intermittent exposure up to 300°F. On the cold end, they perform down to -60°F. Fully autoclavable for environments that require sterilization.
- Chemical and solvent resistance: Stands up to most oils, moisture, chemicals, and solvents. Not affected by radiation. If your facility handles harsh substances, these stack and nest totes won't break down on you.
- Consistent tare weight: Important for operations that weigh containers as part of inventory or quality control processes. You get reliable, repeatable measurements every time.
- Smooth exterior with radius angles: Easy and safe to handle, even when operators are working at speed on a line.
Ventilated and Specialty Options
Plexton also manufactures ventilated stack and nest containers for applications that require airflow, such as food processing, agriculture, or parts drying. Additionally, all Plexton stack and nest boxes can be produced in flame-retardant, food-grade, or ESD-protective materials depending on your industry requirements.
Sizes, Colors, and Accessories
The line includes 14 sizes ranging from compact 17.9" x 10.8" totes up to large 42.5" x 20.1" containers, with heights from 5" to over 14". Five standard colors are available: blue, gray, green, red, and yellow, making it easy to color-code your workflow by department, product line, or process stage.
Standard lids are available for all sizes, and most models have matching dollies so you can roll large stacks between stations without a forklift.
