The Buckhorn BN-Series is an extra-duty collapsible bulk container with a 48 x 45 in. footprint in six heights: 25, 34, 39, 41, 44 and 51 in. outside. Structural foam side panels snap into an injection-molded, two-piece welded base. Two drop doors on the length give access to product, spring-action latches lock the hinged sidewalls and doors, and fork tunnels on all four sides let forks enter from any direction.

Load rating depends on height. The 25 and 34 in. models are rated for 2,500 lb, and the 39, 41, 44 and 51 in. models for 2,000 lb. Buckhorn notes that elevated temperatures or concentrated loads can reduce capacity. Its sheet says plastic or steel runners add stacking strength but gives no stack rating, so confirm the stacking rating with Buckhorn before you stack loaded containers.
When the containers return empty, Buckhorn lists return ratios of 2.3:1 and 3:1 for the 25 and 34 in. models, 2.1:1 for the 39, 41 and 44 in. models, and 1.7:1 for the 51 in. model. Extension rings of 7 and 10 in. can be added to the 25 and 34 in. models for more height.

Selecting the Right Model
◆ Choose 25 or 34 in. when loads approach 2,000 lb. The four taller heights are rated for 2,000 lb, so choose them only when the load stays within that rating.
◆ Compare return ratios before you pick a height for a closed-loop program. The 34 in. model returns the most containers per truck (3:1) and the 51 in. model the fewest (1.7:1).
◆ Ask about extension rings (7 and 10 in.) when you need more height from a 25 or 34 in. model.
◆ Add the container weight (100 to 179 lb) to the load when you check forklift and rack capacity.
◆ Check the stacking rating for your handling method before you stack loaded containers.
◆ Choose the BN-Series for the 48 x 45 footprint and heights to 51 in., or the Buckhorn BH-Series for a 48 x 40 footprint with steel runners and steel corner hit plates.
