Stackable metal bins built for high-density parts storage
Custom-built. Portable. Stackable metal bins
Stackable metal bins designed around your parts, your volume, and the way your floor actually operates.
Stackable metal bins built for operations that need containment.
A stackable metal bin is not just a steel box with a forklift pocket. In the real world, it has to hold your load without flexing, stack without drifting, contain loose parts that would breach a plastic tote, and survive thousands of forklift cycles without losing its geometry.
That is why Morrison engineers stackable metal bins around how your operation actually works. Payload weight, part size, stacking height, and access configuration all factor into the design. Indoor, outdoor, and washdown environments shape the build. The point is not to sell a standard bin—the point is to solve the storage and containment problem without creating new ones.
Advantages
Built around your load, your floor, your problem
Contain what racks and totes can't
Loose parts, oily components, sharp-edged scrap, heavy castings—materials that fall through wire baskets, breach plastic totes, or damage lighter containers. Morrison builds solid-wall steel bins engineered to your payload and your materials.Stack high without drift
Dimensional consistency across every bin in the fleet means your stacking pins align and your columns stay plumb. Morrison holds tight tolerances unit to unit so your warehouse team is not compensating for bins that don't match.Handle the load your operation actually puts in them
Wall gauge and deck gauge specified to your real payload—not a generic rating from a spec sheet. A bin holding 500 lbs of fasteners and a bin holding 3,000 lbs of castings are not the same build, and Morrison does not treat them like one.Get bins that work with your floor, not against it
Four-way fork entry, drop gates, drainage, casters, dividers—engineered into the bin at fabrication, not bolted on after. Every configuration is designed around your handling equipment, your rack system, and how your operators actually access the product.Need more containment without more floor space?
Let's look at your payload, stacking requirements, and access configuration before you settle for a bin that doesn't fit.

Configurations
Common industrial metal containers
Every container starts with the application, but these are some of the more common directions the design takes.
Metal Bulk Bins
Heavy-duty bins built for larger loads, tougher handling, and applications that outgrow lighter-duty options.
Wire Mesh Containers
Metal containers built for visibility, airflow, and repeat handling in demanding industrial environments.
Corrugated Metal Containers
Containers built for added wall strength, durability, and repeat use without unnecessary weight.Rigid bulk bins
Fixed solid walls for applications where load containment, structural rigidity under impact, or part protection from external contact is required.
Heavy-duty Metal bins
Heavy-gauge steel and reinforced walls, engineered to run cycle after cycle.
Collapsible, Foldable Steel Bins
Reduce empty container volume by 70–80%. Fold mechanisms engineered for thousands of cycles without joint wear.
Returnable Metal Containers
Custom-engineered containers that protect parts, fit your line, and keep coming back.Applications
Where stackable metal bins make sense
Bulk parts storage
Stack loaded bins to maximize warehouse density without committing to permanent shelving or fixed racking systems.Work-in-process staging
Hold WIP parts between production steps—organized, contained, and accessible without dumping or hand-sorting.Scrap and recycling collection
Abrasive materials, sharp edges, and heavy drops that destroy lighter containers. Steel bins take the punishment and keep their shape.High-density vertical storage
When pallets or fixed shelving do not match the shape, weight, or handling reality of the product.Outdoor and washdown environments
When bins need to handle weather, moisture, and temperature swings without cracking, warping, or losing structural integrity.Returnable packaging programs
Steel bins that survive thousands of round-trip cycles between facilities—replacing disposable packaging with a container that pays for itself.Built to stack & contain. Designed to last
A bin that flexes under load, drifts when stacked, or cracks in a washdown environment is a bin your team works around instead of with. Morrison engineers every stackable metal bin to the payload it actually carries, the height it actually stacks, and the conditions it actually operates in—so the bin solves the problem instead of becoming one.
Process
From concept to delivery
Every bin starts with a problem—wrong size, wrong capacity, wrong container for the material. Morrison's process starts there too.
1
Application review
We review your payload, part type, containment needs, handling equipment, and storage environment.2
Rack concept and layout
We develop a bin design around your dimensions, access requirements, stacking targets, and floor constraints.3
Engineering and refinement
Our team finalizes structure, capacity, handling details, and real-world use requirements.4
Full production
We fabricate, finish, and deliver your bins in-house—ready to load, stack, and put to work.
Why Morrison is a better fit
Some bin suppliers sell standard sizes and leave the tradeoffs to you. Morrison is a better fit when the containment problem is not generic.
That might mean non-standard dimensions. Heavier payloads than plastic or wire can handle. Harsh environments that crack totes and corrode light-gauge steel. Parts too loose, too sharp, or too heavy for anything but solid-wall construction.
Morrison builds around the real use case so the bin fits the operation—not the other way around.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions about stackable metal bins
Morrison engineers stackable metal bins to your specified load—there is no single catalog limit. Wall gauge, deck gauge, frame construction, and stacking geometry are all specified based on your actual payload. If your application requires bins that carry more than standard catalog options handle, Morrison engineers to that requirement. Provide your load specification when requesting a quote and our engineering team will design to it.
