Every MonsterCombo bin shares a 48 x 44 in footprint, so the size decision is about height. Taller bins hold more per forklift move but raise the center of gravity and the filled weight on the bin below. Bonar rates the bins for a 2,000 lb load, so check product density before choosing the tallest model: a dense product can reach the weight limit long before the bin is full.
Pick the series by how you unload. The 2700 takes forks from 4 sides for open plant floors. The 2800 takes forks from 2 sides. The 2900 has a rotatable base for dumpers and tippers.
For freight, count bins per trailer before you count price per bin. A bin that loads two across in a 53 ft trailer usually costs less per trip than a cheaper bin that does not.
Stacking: MonsterCombo bins stack 2 high loaded with a lid, and nest when empty to save return freight. Plan the stack height against your sprinkler line and rack beams, using the heights in the table.
Washing: rotomolded HDPE has no seams, so bins can go through hot water and standard food-plant sanitizers. Ask for drain plugs if you wash bins in place.
Resin: the bins are molded from polyethylene that meets FDA requirements for food contact. Ask for the compliance letter with your quote so your auditor has it on file.
Volume programs: for 50 bins or more, tell us your plants, annual quantity and target date. We quote freight to each site and can split deliveries.
