Small Item Storage: Tote Pans

The Tote Pan system is an economical system for handling and storing small parts and components comprising individual tote pans and a range of trucks and racks to support their handling and storage. Normally, totes are produced in modular sizes of standard dimensions, are able to nest or stack, incorporate label holders and sub-dividers, and can be fitted to Louvre Panels.

There are various designs of tote made from different type of materials, for instance,

Galvanised Steel Tote Pans

The standard, universal stacking Galvanised Steel Tote Pans are strongly constructed with reinforced rims, easy grip handles and a cardholder at each end. It is a complete, inexpensive system widely used for the handling and storage of components. Furthermore, each galvanized steel tote pan is resistant to heat and oil; will not burn or give off toxic smoke and has the capacity of 30 kg. As optional extras, these tote pans can have coloured ends, be embossed with the company name and can come with dividers, individual part pans, slide-on lids and perforated bases.
