This special offer period represents an ideal time for customers to refresh their storage systems, whether for use in warehouses, workshops, retail distribution, or home environments. The selection caters to all types of end users and includes both new and carefully graded used storage boxes, offering significant cost savings while supporting sustainable business practices.
Exceptional value for money
Solent Plastics recognises the growing need for environmentally responsible and financially efficient storage solutions. This is why our current range of offers includes a mix of brand new heavy-duty storage containers and thoroughly inspected used storage boxes.
While the new items provide long-lasting durability, our used crates and bins are excellent utility vessels at a fraction of the cost, helping to extend the lifecycle of materials. We also purchase second hand boxes in any quantity - a service ideal for businesses updating their logistics or supply chain setup. By selling your surplus containers, you can reduce waste and make room for more efficient alternatives.
62-litre recycled heavy-duty attached lid container
Our recycled heavy-duty container with a 62-litre capacity is one of the most robust and cost-effective storage options on the market. Manufactured by George Utz, a name widely regarded as one of the industry's top producers, this container is constructed from recycled polypropylene and is fully manufactured in the UK. Its external dimensions of 600mm x 400mm x 370mm follow standard Euro container sizing, ensuring compatibility with most logistics systems. The attached lid can be secured at both ends with seals, making it suitable for secure transportation and storage.
Designed to be stackable when full and nestable when empty, you can maximise space during transit and when the boxes aren’t in use. Weighing 3.25 kg when empty, they’re ideal for retail distribution, warehouse inventory handling, event logistics, office removals and home storage applications. Produced in black, with a sleek finish, they fit seamlessly into commercial settings, with the super strong construction guaranteeing long-term performance, even in demanding environments.
Priced at £9.75 each excluding VAT (£11.70 including tax), this ‘super box’ combines durability, eco-friendliness and efficiency. You can make a saving of 11% with our bulk discount price of £8.75 excluding VAT (£10.50 including tax) when you purchase 60 units or more.
46.9-litre used Euro plastic stacking container
Again, excellent value, our 46.9-litre used Euro stacking container is available for just £5.95 excluding VAT (£7.14 including tax). Customers purchasing 45 or more can benefit from a reduced price of £5.35 excluding VAT ( £6.42 including tax) per unit, a saving of 11%.
These Euro containers were manufactured by SSI Schaefer, a name synonymous with strength and performance in industrial storage. Although previously used, they remain in excellent structural condition, making them a smart investment for budget conscious businesses.
With dimensions of 600mm x 400mm x 240mm, and a 4kg weight when empty, each container will support loads of up to 50kg thanks to a reinforced honeycomb base (designed for compatibility with conveyors), which makes it suitable for demanding applications including product distribution, warehouse storage, van racking and automated material handling systems.
The internal walls are straight to maximise usable volume. Ergonomic handgrips on the long sides allow for easy manual handling. Fully inter-stackable with other boxes of the same size, their grey colour creates a clean, uniform appearance suitable for both back-end operations and visible storage areas.
28.3-litre used small parts picking bin
Solent Plastics’ 28.3-litre small parts picking bin offers an ideal solution for storing and managing components in environments such as manufacturing, retail and home garages. Priced at £1.95 excluding VAT (£2.34 including tax), this product offers tremendous value for money. Manufactured by reputable industrial storage brand Barton, these used bins are in outstanding condition. Fully functional, each has only superficial signs of prior use, such as labels or light surface dust.
They feature an open front for easy access even when stacked, along with an integrated label slot for quick and efficient content identification. They can also be clipped onto louvered panels, making them highly adaptable to vertical storage systems to save floor space.
Measuring 375mm deep, 420mm wide and 182high, with an internal load capacity of 60kg when stacked, the bin is perfect for storing tools, fasteners, electronic components, or other small parts. The vibrant green colour also allows for easy colour coding in organised systems - widely used in production environments, workshops, retail back-of-house areas and domestic settings where systematic storage of smaller items is required.
Why used storage boxes are a smart choice
Investing in used storage boxes is a responsible decision in terms of sustainability. Solent Plastics ensures every second-hand item undergoes a thorough quality check before it becomes available for sale. As a result, customers can be confident they’re purchasing containers that remain structurally sound and functional.
From an environmental standpoint, used containers support the reduction of plastic waste and the efficient reuse of valuable materials. For companies with sustainability objectives, this approach aligns with best practices in environmental responsibility, while offering significant cost savings.
Used containers are especially practical when building or expanding large-scale storage systems, as the cost per unit is significantly lower than new equivalents. This allows organisations to scale efficiently. Supporting a wide range of industries; whether you need secure transit boxes for multi-drop delivery routes or space saving bins for workshop components, we have the right product at the right price!
