These 13L bus tubs are a lightweight solution for organizing household items like linens, toys, or dry pantry goods. The high-gloss polypropylene finish makes it easy to apply and remove labels using dry-erase markers. When not in use, the tubs feature an internal taper that allows them to nest deeply within one another, saving significant shelf space in a utility room or closet.
Specifications show these tubs are designed for light-duty tasks. When filled with heavy liquids or dense solids (over 10kg), the lateral walls may experience some bowing. Because the lid uses a friction-fit rather than a silicone gasket, such deformation can cause the lid to loosen. For those using these in a kitchen environment, it is worth noting that they are best suited for room temperature or cold storage, as high-temperature commercial dishwashers may affect the fit of the plastic over time.
The design allows for easy nesting when empty, making these a practical choice for rotating seasonal items.
If you need a container verified for commercial food service loads, the Rubbermaid Commercial box provides a higher density build.
