Reusable bulk forklift containers consolidate loads for transport
Fitted with four industrial strength casters, the Ship Shape P-291 container is designed to permit recycling companies to consolidate collection loads and achieve space-saving efficiency during transport for processing, while enabling staffers to quickly roll emptied containers off the conveyor line without lift truck assistance. The Ship Shape P-291 reusable forklift container is ideal for high volume operations; handling paper, plastic, metal and other materials; and accommodates payloads up to 700 pounds in 32 cubic feet of space on a standard 44 by 44 footprint for easy integration with existing collection systems. Rotationally molded in a single, seamless piece from polyethylene, the Ship Shape rugged, rigid container is weather proof for indoor/outdoor use and storage and resists the chemicals, oils, solvents and other liquids that often accompany collected recyclable materials.

Once filled, the P-291 is covered and loaded into trailers by forklift for delivery to a recycling centre. The reusable, returnable P-291 was specifically designed based on the dimensions of standard trailers to promote logistics efficiency and enhance the returns of closed loop container systems. Units neatly fit into 14 rows in a 53-foot trailer, and since its rotationally molded, polyethylene construction, with ultra-sturdy corners, enables stacking three-high when filled, the P-291 effectively cubes out standard trailers while packing payloads approaching the legal limit each trip. For added efficiency, it includes designed-in nesting lugs that permit up to seven containers to nest safely for empty returns. Stacks can be quickly moved onto and off of a trailer by lift or hand truck and resist locking for easy separation for refilling. To help track throughout a loop, containers are available with permanent, molded-in or raised lettering, serial numbers and/or graphic logos in multiple languages, as well as with recesses for RFID tags. They can be molded in a rainbow of standard or custom colours to match or indicate the type of recyclable material inside.
