Bins & Containers
Plastic bins and containers enable efficient, durable storage and material handling across manual and automated operations in industrial and warehouse environments.
Plastic bins and containers are among the most fundamental components of an efficient storage and handling operation. Used across industrial, warehouse, retail, food, distribution, and last-mile delivery environments, they support everything from small parts organisation on a production line to high-volume tote handling in automated fulfilment systems. The right specification — in terms of dimensions, load rating, stacking behaviour, material grade, and temperature tolerance — has a direct impact on space utilisation, product protection, and the overall flow of goods through a facility.
SPAN's range covers the full breadth of bin and container types to suit the widest possible range of operational requirements. Open and closed-front small parts bins provide accessible, organised storage for components and picked items, while space-saving variants — including nestable, stack-and-nest, and collapsible designs — reduce footprint significantly when not in use, an important consideration in operations where empty container management is a cost factor. For cold chain and food production applications, the range includes insulated and temperature-controlled containers, as well as food-grade certified options rated for temperature extremes — suitable for cold storage, chilled distribution, and direct food contact environments.
Euro containers offer a standardised, interchangeable solution compatible with conveyor systems, racking, and automated handling equipment, making them a practical default for many warehouse and distribution environments. For applications involving food production, food contact, or strict hygiene requirements, food-grade certified containers are available in materials and finishes designed to meet the relevant standards while withstanding the demands of frequent washing and temperature variation.
Where electrostatic discharge is a concern — particularly in electronics manufacturing or sensitive assembly environments — ESD-rated bins and containers provide the necessary protection without compromising on the handling and storage functionality expected across the rest of the range.
