BUCKHORN
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about BUCKHORN from 3G Electric.
What is the difference between Buckhorn collapsible and non-collapsible bulk containers?
Buckhorn collapsible bulk containers can be folded down when empty, reducing storage and return-transport volume. Non-collapsible models are rigid and do not fold, offering maximum structural strength for stationary or heavy-duty use. Both types are stacking capable and available with various fork entry options. Collapsible models often include drop doors for access, while non-collapsible models may have solid walls without doors. Selection depends on whether space savings when empty are needed or if a fixed, rigid container is preferred.
What capacities are available for Buckhorn bulk containers from 3G Electric?
3G Electric stocks Buckhorn bulk containers with capacities including 13.8 cubic feet and 25.9 cubic feet, as well as a 36.3 cubic feet collapsible model. These capacities correspond to external dimensions such as 41 5/8 in x 28 3/4 in x 27 3/4 in for the 13.8 cu ft size, and 48 in x 44 in x 29 3/8 in for the 25.9 cu ft size. The 36.3 cu ft collapsible container measures 48 in x 45 in x 41 in. Capacity and dimensions are key when matching containers to available space and load requirements.
Are lids included with Buckhorn bulk containers?
No, Buckhorn bulk containers from 3G Electric are supplied without lids unless explicitly stated. Lids are available as separate SKUs and are model-specific. For example, lid part number TL4229040051000 fits the Buckhorn BF4229 container, and lid TS3230020010000 fits the BS3230 container. It is important to match the lid to the container's model number and dimensions to ensure proper fit. Lids provide protection from dust and debris during storage and transport.
What fork entry options do Buckhorn bulk containers offer?
Buckhorn bulk containers are available with 2-way or 4-way fork entry. 2-way entry allows forklift access from two sides, typically the short sides, while 4-way entry allows access from all four sides. Some models include fork pockets and runners to guide forks and protect the container base. For example, SKU 10A141 has 4-way entry, while SKU 55AA15 has 2-way entry. The choice depends on the forklift access available in your facility and the orientation of the containers during handling.
Can Buckhorn bulk containers be stacked when loaded?
Yes, Buckhorn bulk containers are designed to be stacking capable, meaning they can be stacked on top of each other when loaded, provided the weight is evenly distributed and within the container's load rating. Stacking allows efficient use of vertical space in warehouses and during transport. However, always verify the specific container's stacking capacity and ensure that the bottom container is on a level surface. Some models may require a lid or a specific stacking pattern for stability.
