Akro-Mils 33164 Akro-Grid Dividable Plastic Box, 12 per Carto

The Akro-Mils 33164 Akro-Grid divides one box into as many as 96 separate compartments. Seven long divider slots and eleven short slots run in both directions, creating compartments as small as 1-1/8 in. square. It is built for work in process and kitting, where one container carries a complete set of parts through a shop, and for sorting jobs where the layout changes from one job to the next.

Molded letters and numbers along the rim give every cell an address, so a pick list can say B7 instead of describing a location. Dividers lift out and move, so the same box can serve a different job next month. At 4 in. deep, the box is shallow enough that the whole grid stays visible from above.

The 33164 measures 16-1/2 x 10-7/8 x 4 in. outside and 14-13/16 x 9-3/16 x 3-7/8 in. inside at the base, with a volume of 0.29 cu ft (2.2 gal). It is rated for 20 lb per container. The injection-molded polymer resists most solvents and chemicals, and stacking rims and external ribbing add strength. Akro-Mils lists the Akro-Grid line as compatible with most racks, shelving and automated storage and retrieval systems.

Dividers and lids are sold separately. Divider sets and lids are model specific, so order them with the box. Divider boxes are typically stack-only, and Akro-Mils does not publish a stacking limit. In a stack, the bottom container’s support rating governs the column height, not the per-container load.

Selecting the Right Divider Box Setup
◆ Compartment count, up to 96 compartments as small as 1-1/8 in. square, set by how many dividers you use
♦ Outside Top: 16”-1/2 long x 10-7/8” wide x 4” high
♦ Inside Bottom: 14-13/16” long x 9-3/16” wide x 3-7/8” high
◆ Dividers, long 42164 (up to 7 per box) and short 41164 (up to 11 per box), sold separately in packages of 6
◆ Depth, 4 in. keeps the grid visible, while the same footprint also comes in 2.5, 5, 6 and 8 in. heights (33162, 33165, 33166 and 33168) rated 20 to 40 lb
◆ Load, 20 lb per container, so weigh a full box of your parts before choosing
◆ Lid, an optional clear snap-on lid (33061), sold separately in cartons of 4
◆ Labeling, the 35010 label holder does not fit this model, so use the molded grid addresses
