The Sterilite 40-Gallon Wheeled Bin is designed to help with the organization of lightweight, high-volume items like seasonal clothing, blankets, and linens. The inclusion of wheels on one end and a large handle on the other allows for a "tilt-and-tow" movement, which helps reduce physical strain when moving the container from a bedroom to a storage area.
The bin is made from injection-molded polypropylene, with extra ribbing around the wheel wells to provide structural support. While the 151-liter capacity is substantial, the wheels are best suited for indoor surfaces. If left stationary with a very heavy load (such as books) for several months, the plastic wheels may develop flat spots, so it is most effective for "soft" storage.
- Recessed lid design for secure vertical stacking.
- Lightweight build makes it easy to handle even when empty.
- Integrated wheels to assist in moving large volumes of items.
The latching mechanism is designed to keep the lid in place during normal household use. However, these plastic hinges can be sensitive to cold; in sub-zero temperatures, they should be handled with care to prevent snapping. The bin does not feature an airtight gasket, so it is not intended for the pest-proof storage of food.
If you need a wheeled bin that can handle outdoor terrain and truck beds, the Rubbermaid ActionPacker 35-Gallon offers a more rugged wheel and axle system.
