SSI SCHAEFER

SSI SCHAEFER is a German manufacturer of industrial storage and material handling equipment, with a history dating back to 1937. The company is known for its systematic approach to warehouse and production logistics, offering a broad range of containers, bins, shelving, and automated systems. For plant engineers and maintenance managers, SSI SCHAEFER products are specified for their dimensional consistency, stackability, and material durability. The product families available through 3G Electric include solid straight-wall containers (totes) and extreme-temperature metal bins. The straight-wall totes are molded from high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or polypropylene, providing resistance to impact, moisture, and many chemicals. They are designed with uniform external dimensions for stable stacking, with capacities ranging from 2.9 to 16.8 gallons. These containers feature smooth interior walls for easy cleaning and are available in gray. The extreme-temperature metal bins are constructed from galvanized steel, suitable for environments where plastic containers may degrade, such as ovens, freezers, or wash-down areas. They are stackable without lids and are available in sizes like 8 in x 14 in x 8 in and 6 in x 9 1/2 in x 4 3/4 in. 3G Electric stocks 19 SKUs of SSI SCHAEFER products, sourced directly from the manufacturer or authorized channels, ensuring traceability and compliance with original specifications. The containers are suitable for use in automotive parts handling, electronics assembly, food processing, and general warehousing. Buyers can select based on volume requirements, footprint constraints, and temperature exposure. The straight-wall totes are compatible with standard shelving and flow racks, while the metal bins are often used in high-temperature or high-humidity zones. 3G Electric provides global shipping, with each unit packaged to prevent damage during transit. Technical documentation, including dimensional drawings and load ratings, is available upon request. The products are not certified for food contact unless explicitly stated, and no electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection is claimed for the standard plastic or metal bins. For applications requiring ESD-safe containers, alternative products should be considered. The containers are manufactured in Germany and other SSI SCHAEFER facilities, with quality control adhering to ISO 9001 standards. 3G Electric does not modify or relabel these products; they are supplied as manufactured. The company supports the line with inventory management, bulk pricing, and expedited shipping options for maintenance and procurement specialists.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about SSI SCHAEFER from 3G Electric.

What materials are SSI SCHAEFER straight-wall containers made from?

SSI SCHAEFER straight-wall containers are injection-molded from high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or polypropylene. These thermoplastics provide resistance to impact, moisture, oils, and many industrial chemicals. The material is food-grade in some variants, but the standard gray totes stocked by 3G Electric are not certified for direct food contact. The plastic is UV-stabilized for indoor use and has a smooth surface that resists bacterial growth. The containers are recyclable under resin identification code 2 (HDPE) or 5 (PP).

Are SSI SCHAEFER stacking bins compatible with standard shelving?

Yes, SSI SCHAEFER straight-wall containers have external dimensions that conform to standard European and North American shelving footprints. For example, the 16 in x 12 in base fits many 18 in deep shelves, and the 24 in x 16 in base fits standard 24 in deep pallet racks. The containers are designed with a stacking rim that interlocks with the container below, providing lateral stability without lids. The metal stacking bins have a similar interlocking design but are not intended for use with plastic containers due to different corner radii.

What is the temperature range for SSI SCHAEFER extreme-temperature metal bins?

SSI SCHAEFER extreme-temperature metal bins are constructed from galvanized steel and can withstand continuous exposure from -40°F to 400°F (-40°C to 204°C). This makes them suitable for use in industrial ovens, freezers, and steam-cleaning areas. The galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance in humid environments. These bins are not recommended for direct flame contact or for storing corrosive chemicals that attack zinc. The metal bins are stackable without lids and have a load capacity of up to 50 lbs per bin depending on size.

Do SSI SCHAEFER plastic containers have any electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection?

The standard SSI SCHAEFER plastic containers stocked by 3G Electric are not electrostatic discharge (ESD) conductive. They are made from standard HDPE or polypropylene, which can generate static charges. For ESD-sensitive applications, such as electronics assembly, SSI SCHAEFER offers a separate line of conductive or static-dissipative containers, but those are not included in the current 3G Electric inventory. If ESD protection is required, buyers should specify conductive material options or use alternative products.

What is the load capacity of SSI SCHAEFER straight-wall totes?

The load capacity of SSI SCHAEFER straight-wall totes varies by size and wall thickness. For example, the 5.4-gallon tote (16 in x 12 in x 9 in) has a dynamic load capacity of approximately 30 lbs when stacked, and a static load capacity of up to 75 lbs when uniformly supported. The larger 16.8-gallon tote (23 3/4 in x 15 3/4 in x 12 5/8 in) can handle up to 50 lbs dynamic and 100 lbs static. These ratings assume the container is placed on a flat, level surface and not overfilled. Overloading can cause deformation and reduce stackability.

Can SSI SCHAEFER containers be used in food processing environments?

The standard gray SSI SCHAEFER plastic containers are made from FDA-compliant HDPE or PP resins, but they are not certified for direct food contact by NSF or other third-party agencies. They are suitable for handling packaged foods, dry ingredients, or non-food items in food processing areas. For direct contact with raw food, SSI SCHAEFER offers a separate line of food-grade containers with smooth interiors and no crevices. The metal bins are not recommended for food contact due to the galvanized coating, which can leach zinc into acidic foods.
