Reusable P-291 Stacks, Nests
 |
| The 50P-16R is available with a lockable, hinged cover to secure sensitive documents and promote compliance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996. |
The MOD P-291 bulk forklift container often operates in tandem with the 50P-16R. In high volume operations such as office complexes, hospitals, converting, print-to-mail and other facilities, paper is collected in the 50P-16R and easily transferred at the loading dock into the P-291. Once filled with up to 700 lbs. of material, the P-291 is covered and loaded into trailers by forklift for delivery to the recycling center. Like its counterpart the 50P-16R, the reusable, returnable P-291 was designed based on the dimensions of standard trailers to promote logistics efficiency and enhance the returns of closed loop container systems. At 32-1/2 inches high with a footprint measuring 44 inches x 44 inches, the rugged container neatly fits into 14 rows in a 53 feet trailer. And since its rotationally molded, polyethylene construction, with its ultra-sturdy corners, enables it to stack 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. The stacks are quickly moved onto and off of the trailer by lift or hand truck and resist locking for easy separation for refilling. To help track them throughout the loop, the 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 colors to match or indicate the type of recyclable material inside to further accelerate pickup and processing. Plus, fork pockets, for added handling surety of heavy, granular materials and casters permitting both manual and lift truck movement are offered as options.
By integrating these smart container designs into their fleets, recycling and other bulk shipping companies can begin moving over the road to improved efficiency and profitability.
