Custom Barn door design

Contenedores de doble puerta personalizados

El equipo de RPP Containers tiene más de 20 años de experiencia en la fabricación personalizada de contenedores para granel. El equipo de RPP presta servicio a una gran variedad de sectores y escucha constantemente las necesidades de su amplia base de clientes. Fueron muy notables los comentarios que indicaban que las piezas de largo extendido que no cabían en contenedores de tamaño estándar eran los componentes más difíciles de embalar en toda la cadena de suministro. RPP's CustomBulk® division set out to address those pain points for its customers.

RPP Containers CustomBulk® division designs and builds a multitude of custom bulk containers for customers specific applications. One of our popular designs is the barn door bulk container, which is custom designed and built to accommodate a variety of customers' applications. Si bien el tamaño más común ha sido el modelo de 45" x 48" x 50", podemos adaptar los contenedores como este para que se ajusten a las dimensiones solicitadas.

Custom barn door front and bottom

We had a customer come to us requesting a container to move large boxes and miscellaneous items in their warehouse from point A to B. These items' weights ranged from 10 to 1,000lbs and variety of sizes. They also requested being able to move the container with a double pallet jack and 7.5 inches of space between the forks. Not the standard forklift or regular pallet jack options in many warehouses. The second request was to have one of the shorter sides completely open to allow easy access inside the container (barn door). 

90x48 Extended-Length Bulk Containers

With the challenge of modifying the 6" center foot, The RPP CustomBulk® team developed a family of unique custom base and fork strap configurations. Developing a cost-effective solution to adapt standard plastic bulk bins to accommodate narrow fork openings between 1-7". Order pickers have either single or double clamps and serrated edges that would otherwise damage plastic bases. Double pallet end rider equipment typically limits fork opening to 7.5", which is too narrow for use with the standard bulk bin base designs.

Our custom department constructed (10) DGC90x48x50-BD 6" C Foot for my customer. We used two DGR454850-2 fabricated together with one barn door on the short side, 6" center foot. These were the first set of containers to be sent out. See photos below.

Our customers did ask if modifications could be made to the container. There was slight pushing of the interior walls and barn doors (photos) from the products put inside the containers. Our custom department constructed a crossbar kit for these containers, which can be retrofitted out in the field. The 48" Cross kit, two spring hitch pins. This can be fitted across the 48" W side of the container and help secure the sides of the container and keep the weight from pushing the interior walls and barn doors out.

    Barn doors were not staying shut due to the outward pressure of the product inside the container.

A simple solution

Simple solution

The customer wanted something easily removable, so they could load and unload the containers. We sent a total of 15 crossbar kits to our customers to have on hand. Very easy step by step to modify the (10) containers they already had on hand. With this new modification of the crossbar kit, they just placed another order for (5) DGC90x48x50-BD6" C Foot with an added removable crossbar.
