Why Use This Product

Loose hardware in drawers, shared boxes, and unlabeled containers is the most common cause of wasted pick time and inventory errors in a stockroom. The Akro-Mils 30255 solves that by giving every part its own dedicated, labeled location. Sold 6 bins per carton, it is the practical choice when you are setting up a shelf, rack, or workstation with a wide, shallow bin.

The 30255 is the wide, low-profile bin in the 30 Series. It shares the same 16-1/2 inch outside width as the larger 30250 but keeps a shorter 10-7/8 inch length and a low 5-inch height, giving it a broad, shallow tray-like interior. That shape is ideal for laying out wide or flat parts side by side, spreading small parts for easy visual picking, and fitting under shelves with limited vertical clearance. The hopper front keeps the wide interior visible and accessible, and the heavy-duty polypropylene body resists chemical and physical stress during repeated daily use. Because the bin is autoclavable to 250 degrees Fahrenheit, it also works in sterile and laboratory settings where most plastic bins are not suitable.

Key Features Explained

Wide, Shallow Tray Profile
With a 15-inch interior width but only a 4-3/4 inch depth, the 30255 spreads parts out in a single broad layer rather than stacking them deep. This makes parts easy to see and grab at a glance, and the low 5-inch height lets the bin fit shelves with tight vertical spacing.

Durable Polypropylene Construction
The bin is molded from heavy-duty polypropylene that resists water, rust, corrosion, weak acids, and alkalis. This allows it to withstand harsh chemicals and physical stress in industrial environments where lighter bins crack or degrade over time.

Autoclavable to 250°F
The bin withstands autoclave temperatures up to 250 degrees Fahrenheit, which makes it suitable for sterile and laboratory environments. This is a feature most small parts bins do not offer, and it opens up medical, pharmaceutical, and lab applications that require sanitized storage.

Reinforced Ribbing
Molded ribbing along the walls prevents the wide bin from spreading or bowing under load. This keeps the broad interior holding its shape even when fully packed across its full width.

Stackable Design with Built-In Stop
An extra-wide stacking ledge with a built-in stop lets bins stack securely on top of one another for stable vertical storage. This conserves bench and shelf space and lets you build upward when floor space is limited.

Hopper Front and Curved Front Edge
The wide, sloped front and curved edge let workers see and reach across the full width of the shallow bin without removing it from the shelf. In high-frequency pick areas, this lowers handling time per pick and keeps contents visible at a glance.

Large Labeling Slot
A wide front label slot holds barcodes or ID cards for accurate inventory tracking. Clear labeling reduces part mixing and picking errors, especially when similar parts have different sizes, finishes, or part numbers.

Optional Dividers
The 30255 accepts Akro-Mils 40230 length dividers and 41230 width dividers, which combine to split the broad interior into a grid of smaller compartments. This turns the wide bin into a multi-compartment tray for sorting many small parts at once.

Seven Color Options
Available in Clear, Black, Stone, Green, Yellow, Red, and Blue. Color coding supports visual management and 5S programs, while clear bins let workers check stock levels without opening or removing the bin.

Best-Fit Use Cases

♦ Manufacturing and Assembly Cells: Spreads small parts and components in a single visible layer at the point of use, speeding hand-picking during assembly.

♦ Automotive Repair and Service: Holds wide or flat parts such as gaskets, trim, and brackets laid out side by side in a labeled, stackable tray.

♦ Warehousing and Stockrooms: Gives wide or flat SKUs a low-profile bin that fits tight shelf spacing, complementing the deeper bins in the series on the same shelving.

♦ Aerospace MRO: Holds wide precision parts and laid-out component sets for maintenance and assembly in a durable, labeled system that supports traceability.

♦ Medical and Laboratory Environments: The autoclavable polypropylene body allows sanitized storage of instrument trays and laid-out tool sets where most plastic bins cannot be used.

♦ Maintenance and Repair Departments: Keep wide or flat spare parts and laid-out fittings sorted and within reach during planned and reactive maintenance.

♦ Electrical, Plumbing, and Utilities Work: Spreads connectors, fittings, and panel parts in a single visible layer for mechanical, electrical, and plumbing applications.

Compatible Accessories

♦ Akro-Mils 40230 Length Dividers (6 per carton): These length dividers slot into the 30255 to create front-to-back compartments across the wide interior. Add them when you want to separate part numbers along the bin's depth without using additional bin locations.

♦ Akro-Mils 41230 Width Dividers (6 per carton): These width dividers split the wide bin side to side, working alongside the 40230 to create a grid of smaller compartments. Add them to turn the broad, shallow interior into an organized multi-compartment sorting tray.
