What a bulk container quote depends on
We don't publish a price list. The same 48 x 40 in footprint can be a plain fixed-wall bin or a tall folding container with lids and doors, and the price between them moves a long way. Here is what moves it.
The container
- Folding or fixed wall. Hinges, latches and folding walls cost more than a one-piece bin.
- Footprint and height. More plastic, more price.
- Load rating. A 2,000 lb container is built heavier than a 700 lb one.
- Resin and colour. Food-contact colours can cost more than standard.
The options
- Lids, drop doors, runners or a four-way base, card holders.
- Liners and dunnage, quoted with the container so they fit.
- Numbering, colour coding and grower or plant marks.
The order
- Quantity. Whole trailers usually cost less per container.
- Delivery ZIP. Freight from the maker to you, and whether the containers ship folded or nested.
What the quote includes
- The container
- Maker and model, outside and inside dimensions in inches and millimetres
- Ratings
- Load capacity, tare weight, static and dynamic stacking from the maker's sheet
- The trip back
- Collapsed or nested height, return ratio, trailer count assembled and empty
- Material
- Resin and colour, with the maker's food-contact statement when food touches the walls
- Price
- For your quantity, delivered to your ZIP
What you get back
The reply names the container we would quote, with its collapsed height, return ratio and trailer count written out, and a price for your quantity and ZIP. If a cheaper container would do the job, for example a fixed-wall bin where you asked for a collapsible, the reply says so.
For the longer version, read what a plastic gaylord costs. To see the containers first, start at containers by type.
