Open-fronted bins

Open-fronted bins: the small parts picking container

An open-fronted bin has an open, sloping front: you can see the contents and pick with one hand, even when the bins are stacked. Fami makes two polypropylene series: Picking Box Mythos, the classic stackable model, and the patented Picking Box Air, which nests inside one another when empty as well as stacking, and has a reinforced base. Sizes from 1 (for screws and nuts) to 5 (for large components and fittings), with intermediate variants 3A2, 4A2 and 4A5, capacities from under one litre to over 80, load capacity up to 45 kg per bin. Sold in multi-packs, from around €1 per piece.

Colours and labels

Grey, blue, yellow, red, green and more: the colour distinguishes departments or product families without having to read the label. The front has a label holder; transverse dividers and front label strips are in the bin accessories.

Where they are used

On small parts shelving and inclined-shelf racking, on perforated panels with Iron Team kits, on picking trolleys and in small parts cabinets. For warehouse quantities, see the Euro Box containers.
