FAQs
Answers to Your Most Common Questions
Are used bulk containers safe to use in my operation?
Yes! Every used bulk container at Extera goes through a thorough inspection and repair process. We check structural integrity across all key components, including walls, base, drop doors, and latches. Containers that do not meet our standards are recycled rather than resold. Cosmetic wear, like surface scuffs, is common with reconditioned units, but it has no impact on how the container performs.
What should I consider when choosing between new and used containers?
The right choice depends on your application, budget, and timeline. Used containers are inspected for structural integrity and are a reliable option when cost savings or quick availability are priorities. New containers may offer longer service life, additional configuration options, or specific features your operation requires. Our team is happy to walk through your needs and help you decide which direction makes the most sense.
How much weight can an HDPE bulk container hold?
Load capacity varies by model, but most HDPE bulk containers support several thousand pounds of dynamic load during handling and significantly higher static loads when stacked in storage. If you have specific weight requirements, our team can point you toward the right container for your application.
Are HDPE bulk containers compatible with forklifts and pallet jacks?
Yes. Most HDPE bulk containers feature four-way entry, meaning they are compatible with both forklifts and pallet jacks from any direction. This makes them straightforward to integrate into existing material handling operations without special equipment.
Can bulk containers be used outdoors?
Yes. HDPE is highly resistant to moisture, UV exposure, and temperature fluctuations, which makes these containers a dependable choice for both indoor and outdoor storage and handling. This durability holds whether the container is new or reconditioned.
