Cross-Stacking 5.5 gal Storage Container
This blue plastic tote provides 5.5 gal of volume for organising tools, parts or supplies in workshops and outdoor areas. Solid walls resist corrosion and water while tolerating temperatures from -20 to 135 degrees F. The 17 1/4 in length, 11 in width and 12 in height profile nests when empty and cross-stacks when loaded.
Nesting and Stacking Behaviour
Nesting capability reduces storage footprint when containers are empty, while stacking capacity supports up to 100 lb per unit for vertical organisation. Fork pockets and a lid are not included, so handling relies on manual lifting and contents remain open unless a separate cover is sourced. The 2.17 lb weight keeps individual handling light.
Temperature and Load Limits
Polypropylene construction remains stable between -20 and 135 degrees F but is not rated for sustained loads beyond 100 lb or for use with forklift pockets. Absence of a supplied lid means dust and moisture protection depends on an aftermarket cover. The container is restricted from sale in no listed states.

Questions about this item
Does the plastic need any special care to avoid cracking at the -20 °F minimum operating temperature?
The container is rated for use down to -20 °F; no extra maintenance is required beyond normal cleaning.
What load will cause the tote to stop stacking safely first — the 100 lb stacking capacity or the 100 lb weight capacity?
Both limits are 100 lb, so the stacking and weight capacities are reached at the same load.
Will the blue plastic tote become too hot to handle if left in direct sun near its 135 °F maximum operating temperature?
At 135 °F the material stays within its rated range, though the surface will feel very warm to the touch.
