BUCKHORN
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about BUCKHORN from 3G Electric.
What materials are Buckhorn bulk containers made from?
Buckhorn bulk containers are typically molded from high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or polypropylene. HDPE offers good impact resistance and chemical resistance, suitable for industrial environments. Polypropylene is used in some models for higher temperature tolerance. Material selection depends on the specific product series; check the product specifications for each SKU.
Are Buckhorn collapsible bulk containers stackable when loaded?
Yes, Buckhorn collapsible bulk containers are designed to be stackable when loaded, provided the load does not exceed the container's rated capacity. The stacking capability is specified for each model, and some containers feature interlocking feet or lid retention to maintain stability during stacking. Always verify the load rating and stacking height limits in the product documentation.
What is the temperature range for Buckhorn food-handling containers?
Buckhorn food-handling containers, such as the CT292609220500 model, have a minimum operating temperature of -20°F and a maximum of 150°F. These containers are made from HDPE and are suitable for refrigerated or frozen environments. For extreme-temperature applications, verify the specific model's temperature rating, as not all Buckhorn containers are rated for sub-zero use.
Do Buckhorn bulk container lids fit multiple container models?
Buckhorn lids are designed to fit specific container models, indicated by compatible manufacturer model numbers such as BH4840 or BF4229. For example, lid SKU 1XGG8 (MPN TH4840020010000) is compatible with the BH4840 container. Always match the lid's compatible model number to your container's model to ensure proper fit and sealing.
What fork-entry configurations are available on Buckhorn bulk containers?
Buckhorn bulk containers are available with either 2-way or 4-way fork-entry configurations. For example, the non-collapsible BF4229280010000 has 2-way entry, while the collapsible BN3230342010000 has 4-way entry. The entry type affects maneuverability with forklifts or pallet jacks; 4-way entry allows access from all sides, while 2-way limits access to two opposite sides.
Can Buckhorn straight-wall totes be nested when empty?
Buckhorn straight-wall totes, such as the SW3215080201000, are designed for stacking, not nesting. They have straight sidewalls that allow stable stacking when loaded or empty. For nesting capability, look for Buckhorn's nestable tray or container series, which taper to allow empty containers to fit inside one another, reducing storage space.
