Bins

The Ultimate Combination Of Grid Storage Density, Durability And Safety.

Selecting a storage solution with suboptimal bin specifications can drive unexpected costs across the board—from inefficient warehouse usage to building code compliance and insurance expense.  

Maximizing the use of horizontal and vertical space in warehouses to spread fixed costs over more shipping volume is always a top goal of fulfillment operations.

Through extensive evaluation and testing by FM Global, metal safety bins are proven to ultimately reduce fire loss risk, improve storage density and lower infrastructure and insurance costs.

Ocado’s grid supports mixing of plastic bins and metal safety bins up to 21 bins vertically to optimize for each site’s specific needs at the lowest total cost of ownership.
