Storage Boxes

Storage boxes are a type of container used for storing, organising or transporting items. Also known as storage baskets, storage containers or storage crates, they make sure that your home, office, or workstation is neat.

Boxes are measured in volume, with their sizes expressed in litres. Calculating the volume factors in three different measurements, storage boxes with the same storage capacity might have different dimensions. It's important to always check the dimensions in addition to the volume when picking a storage box.

RS carries a great selection of industrial storage boxes, ranging from large storage tubs that can hold big items like rope, power tools, and equipment, to small containers that are perfect for storing components or small tools.

Types of Plastic Storage Boxes, Storage Tubs & Storage Containers

Plastic containers for storage come in many different styles and designs. Some of the different types of plastic containers we carry include:

Euro Containers - Lidless plastic containers that are also known as KLT boxes. Euro containers are stackable storage containers popular in automotive manufacturing and distribution applications.
Foldable Crates - An ideal solution for transporting items and foldable crates. When they need to be used, simply unfold and lock the sides into place. These collapsible storage boxes can be easily stored without taking up much space, ideal for use outdoors and indoor.

Stackable Storage Boxes

The stackable storage box is designed to be used in conjunction with other similar storage boxes, as they are designed to be stacked on top of one another neatly.

Heavy-Duty Storage Boxes

Storage Boxes - Built with heavy-duty plastic, they are great for protecting their contents from harsh environments such as heat or water. Heavy-duty storage boxes are great for factories, job sites, or storing items in large cargo vessels.
Tote Boxes - Stackable boxes with attached hinged lids. Ideal for transporting items because they provide easy access to their contents.

Industrial Storage Boxes and Storage Containers

Industrial storage boxes and containers are robust, durable solutions designed to store and organize materials, tools, and equipment in demanding environments. Typically made from heavy-duty plastic, steel, or other materials, these containers offer superior strength and resistance to wear, making them ideal for warehouses, factories, and construction sites.

Their purpose is to streamline inventory management, improve organization, and protect stored items from damage or contamination. Available in various sizes and designs, industrial storage boxes and containers are stackable, allowing for space-saving and efficient use of storage areas, ultimately enhancing productivity and workplace safety.

Storage Accessories

Storage Trays - Small and stackable plastic baskets without a lid. Organises and separates small items like components, accessories, fasteners, and more. Often, these are clear storage boxes so users can see the contents clearly.
Box Lids - Lids seal and close boxes to protect the contents from spilling or being exposed to environmental elements. Some storage boxes are sold without lids, which is why we carry lids as separate items.

Avoid Common Mistakes when Purchasing Storage Boxes

When purchasing storage boxes, avoid common mistakes to ensure durability and functionality. First, don’t choose a box based solely on volume; always check the dimensions to ensure a better fit for your items. A box that’s too large or too small can lead to inefficiencies.

Additionally, avoid using lightweight boxes for heavy items—these are more likely to break or get damaged. Instead, opt for heavy-duty storage boxes designed to withstand weight and pressure. By considering both dimensions and strength, you can choose the most appropriate storage solution for your needs, ensuring long-lasting protection for your belongings.
