Thread: Plastic Storage Boxes - Anyone Other than Bunnings

I used to work for Nally way back when they were called Nally.

I got out just before viscount took them over..

They are one of the better made plastic crates that WILL last for years, plus they have different sizes/shapes for your needs.

Found a place last night while searching on where to buy them..."equip2go.com.au", have branches in most states.

Good luck with watch ever you buy.

I've been using Gomo boxes for the last ten years and they're still going strong having been mistreaded all around Australia. They're not cheap but they stack and although they do not have rubber seals I've found them to be reasonably dustproof. They have small drain holes in the bottom and I sealed these with mastic. They come in two sizes. I chose the smaller and have 12, stacked in three piles of four and locked into place with pillows wedged between the top box and the roof liner. Works well. They've never mmoved, even on the roughest tracks.

Costco Routinely sell folding boxes of various sizes that stack flat (or panel into cubes)

good plastic and the various sizes nest up well,

As a box they fit and sit on top of each other,

the boxes fit in a sequence, 2 mediums sit exactly on 1 large, and the smalls fit 2 on a medium or 4 on a large.

theres a wierdo size box that fits 3 on a large and across 2 mediums...

I had to match boxes that I’d got from Bunnings. Like everything there they seem to change with the wind. These are the units they used to sell about 7ish years ago.

Found them to be pretty sturdy. Made in OZ , one fault that they have is you can’t reverse a boat trailer over them

I am with the Nally bins. I have some I have been using for 40 years for carrying dive gear and camping gear. Looking a bit scratched and battered but still going strong.

Also used these with lids for years for keeping stuff clean and dry in the back of a ute. Bullet proof.

Originally used the same type of box for carting and storing scuba gear - if a weight belt dropped in them couldn’t break them nothing will.

Hi All,

Thanks for the advice. I ended up getting some nesting storage boxes from Richmond Wheel & Castor Co. Stack & Nest Crates - Richmond Wheel & Castor Co

I went out there to have a look and was tossing up between the nesting and stacking types. What I ended up getting was 3 sets of the larger crates (68L) and 3 sets of the smaller crates (32L). For the price of the 3 nesting crates I would have only got 2 of the stacking crates.

Anyhoo...... I took them home and started to load them up and instantly regretted not getting the stacking type. The taper on the nesting crates has a significant effect on what you can put inside. not so much in volume but the amount of unusable volume at the sides and ends. I went for the nesting type because they 1) were cheaper, and 2) can be stored efficiently when not in use. Stacking crates cant be stored as well.

We live and learn.
