Enhance Storage and Transportation Efficiency with DuraGreen® Extended-Length Collapsible Bulk Containers

Extended-Length Bulk Containers

When it comes to handling long, oversized, or uniquely shaped materials, standard bulk containers often fail to meet these requirements. That’s where DuraGreen® extended-length collapsible bulk containers step in, offering durability, flexibility, and efficiency for demanding applications. Available in 57” x 48”, 65” x 48”, and 70” x 48” footprints, these containers are designed to provide the extra space you need without compromising strength or usability.

Why Choose Extended-Length Containers?

Not every product fits neatly into a standard-sized bulk container. Industries such as automotive, manufacturing, and distribution often require containers that can hold elongated parts, such as bumpers, tubing, or large assemblies. DuraGreen’s extended-length containers are built to solve these challenges:

  • Optimized Capacity – The extra length provides room for longer items, reducing the need for inefficient workarounds such as multiple smaller containers or makeshift storage solutions.
  • Durability You Can Trust – Made from high-quality, injection-molded plastic, these containers withstand heavy loads and demanding environments.
  • Collapsible Design – When not in use, the containers collapse flat, saving up to 75% of storage space and reducing return freight costs.
  • Easy Handling – Designed with ergonomic access doors, smooth interior surfaces, and compatibility with forklifts and pallet jacks for streamlined operations.
