Rollcontainer

A rollcontainer is a mobile storage unit used to transport and store goods within warehouses, distribution centers, and retail back rooms. It consists of a rigid frame mounted on casters, with sides and a base that enclose items. Many models are open on top or use mesh panels, and a front gate or hinged door facilitates loading and unloading. The design emphasizes ease of movement across flat floors and compatibility with handling equipment.

Construction materials vary and commonly include steel, stainless steel, or aluminum. Typical features are four swivel casters (two with brakes), a handle or push bar, and panels or mesh sides. Some rollcontainers have a load-cover or lid, folding or drop-front gates, and the option to be stacked when empty or nested for space efficiency. Forklift pockets or pallet-entry access may be provided on heavier models to assist with lifting.

Variants and configurations cover a range of用途: open-top and closed-panel versions, mesh-sided for ventilation, fully enclosed units with doors, and lift-up gates or lids for secure transport. Sizes and capacities differ, and some are designed specifically for integration with shelving, racking systems, or automated storage and retrieval systems.

Typical uses include transporting cartons, crates, and loose items from receiving to storage or picking areas, moving stock to shop floors, and organizing inventory in busy workflows. Rollcontainers help reduce manual lifting, improve handling efficiency, and support labor productivity in logistics operations.

Safety and maintenance involve monitoring wheel condition and braking performance, adhering to load ratings, and performing routine cleaning and lubrication to preserve mobility and longevity. Regular inspection helps prevent wheel or frame failures and ensures safe operation.
