Extended-Length Bulk Containers
What is an Extended-Length Bulk Container?
RPP Containers prides itself on being the #1 stocking distributor in the country, including a wide range of products. Our goal is to make sure that we have a product to meet each customer’s needs with their specific applications, so they don’t have to look anywhere else. While a lot of projects will require standard size containers such as 40” x 48” or 45” x 48”- there are many applications and uses that require larger, extended length bulk containers. Over the last 20+ years, we have learned that with tons of feedback, many customers and companies require extended-length containers to fit their longer parts when a standard size does not work. For this reason, we will highlight the benefits of using extended-length bulk containers.
Extended length bulk containers become necessary for customers when they have too long parts to fit into standard-sized bulk containers but are too light to justify having or purchasing heavy-duty steel shipping racks. There are countless automotive and industrial parts that are too long for standard-size bulk containers. Examples include running boards, roof rack rails, fuel lines, side air curtains, tubing, large component parts, industrial materials, raw materials, and commercial supplies. A benefit to replacing metal shipping racks with extended-length bulk containers is that our plastic containers will not ruse like a metal rack would over time. Another advantage to extended-length bulk containers compared to metal racking is that these containers can collapse and stack on top of one another, thus providing and saving valuable warehouse space.
RPP Containers offers five different footprint options for extended-length bulk containers. These include a 57” x 48”, 65” x 48”, 70” x 48”, 78” x 48”, and 90” x 48”. Most of these options have several different height options, so we have a wide variety of options to meet your packaging needs. However, at RPP Containers, we know that not all projects and needs are the same, and it can be difficult to find a container that can hold your extra-long components! We recognize this, so we have implemented a custom system that regularly customizes containers to fit the length requirements for extra-large or uniquely shaped products. We do this using a plate welder and adding steel-supported joints to ensure your parts are stored efficiently and securely, no matter the circumstance. We have an extensive gallery of extended-length containers that we have fabricated custom for a range of diverse functions. If you think that a custom extended length container would be an option that would better suit your needs, please give us a call, or send in a web submittal, and you can discuss your needs further with one of our knowledgeable sales reps.
With extended-length bulk containers, you can have the confidence in knowing that your oversized, extra-long, uniquely shaped product will be stored and shipped in the most secure and durable vessel. Whatever your packaging needs may be, RPP Containers has the solution!
