Used industrial plastic totes
Stackable and nestable plastic totes for parts handling, order picking, and returnable shipping. We supply used attached-lid containers, straight-wall and stack-nest totes, inspected and graded, at a fraction of the cost of new.
Why plastic totes
Totes are the backbone of manual material handling. Used totes deliver the same durability and modularity as new at a lower cost, and standardized footprints keep them compatible with the conveyors, racking, and dividers you already run.

Frequently asked questions
What’s the difference between stack-nest and straight-wall totes?
Straight-wall totes maximize interior space and stack when full. Stack-nest totes nest inside each other when empty to cut return-shipping volume, then stack when loaded. We help you pick based on whether your totes travel back empty.
Do totes come with lids?
Many do, including attached-lid containers. We can also source separate lids and dividers depending on availability. Tell us what you need.
Can I get totes in specific colors?
Often, yes. Color-coding helps with sorting and kitting. Availability depends on current inventory, so share your preference and quantity.
Are used totes food-safe?
Food-grade handling requires specific materials and histories. Tell us your application and we will confirm whether we can source appropriate containers.
