Akro-Mils 37612 Mesh Straight Wall Container, 23-3/4" x 15-3/4" x 12-1/4" Tall, 3 per Carton

The Akro-Mils 37612 is a mesh straight wall container measuring 23-3/4" long x 15-3/4" wide x 12-1/4" tall on the outside, with a rated load of 45 pounds per container. It is sold in cartons of 3 in gray.

Straight wall containers have vertical sides instead of tapered ones, so they use the full footprint from bottom to top. That gives you more usable volume than a stack and nest container of the same size, and it lets them cube efficiently on pallets and in trucks. The trade-off is that they do not nest, so they take the same space empty as full.

The 37612 has mesh sides and a mesh base, with an open 0.72 x 0.9 mesh pattern for visibility and airflow. It also has open handles on all four sides, 1" wide stacking rims and external ribbing for strength. At 12-1/4" tall, it is the deeper mesh option in the 23-3/4" x 15-3/4" size, suited to bulkier parts that still need airflow.

Selecting the Right Straight Wall Container
◆ Weight, check that your heaviest load stays at or under 45 pounds per container, and that the bottom container in a stack can carry the weight above it, up to 180 pounds
◆ Fit, compare your parts to the 22" x 14" x 12" inside dimensions, since the inside is smaller than the outside
◆ Part size, the mesh openings are 0.72 x 0.9, so small parts can fall through and need a solid-wall container instead
◆ Airflow, mesh sides and base give visibility and airflow, which suits parts that need to drain or dry
◆ Nesting, straight wall containers do not nest, so choose a stack and nest container if empty storage space matters
◆ Temperature, the distributor listing rates the container for about -20 to 140 F, so check this against your environment
