Last modified date

The industrial sector is becoming more demanding and fast paced, so you need to know that you can access things quickly and easily. At Manutan UK, we stock a huge range of storage containers suitable for a range of industries.

It’s important to make sure that you have excellent storage for parts, forms and other vital industry elements. We know it sounds dry; but, trust us, we’ve in the business long enough to know that it’s important to select the right type of storage solution.

So, with no further ado, here are four important uses for storage containers.

Storing small parts safely whilst keeping them in sight

If you’re in a production line or working to put together orders in a warehouse, you’ll work much quicker and easier if you can see what you’re storing and grab what is needed quickly.

Picking bins allow you to store small parts and objects safely whilst meaning you can still see them; excellent for a fast production schedule. Our picking bins are made of high density polyethylene, which means they are high resistant to oils and high/low temperatures.

Storing hazardous substances safely

As a business with years of experience in workplace health and safety, we take pride in being able to provide our customers, not just with general advice about workplace safety, but also the products in order to implement the advice given.

The storage/waste container you need will, of course, depend on the substance you are storing.

Are you looking to store flammable substances? Look no further than galvanised metal bins – you will need, however, to check the product specifies whether it is leak proof or non-leak proof. This will obviously determine whether it is suitable for your substance. Galvanisation is the process of coating metal with zinc to enhance its protective properties.
