All of these steel shipping containers have heavy 11 GA steel sides and are built like tanks. Although most commonly purchase as rigid, we also offer collapsible (Knock down) models. Rigid is great for in-house work. Collapsible are ideal for transporting parts because it knocks down for efficient storage. This will reduce freight cost on return shipments.

3. Would you like them WITH or WITHOUT the perforated Ford style Holes in them. WITHOUT holes makes them cheaper and also increases the strength of the bins. Many of our Tier One customers go that way.
4. Would you require a “First Off” production sample or just an Approval Drawing to sign off and then right into production?

6. Stencils?
7. Any Kennedy Placards required?
