STERILITE

STERILITE is a brand of plastic storage and organization products manufactured by Sterilite Corporation, a company based in Townsend, Massachusetts, USA, with a history dating back to 1939. The brand is known for its injection-molded plastic totes, drawer cabinets, and shelving systems designed for residential, commercial, and industrial storage applications. STERILITE products are constructed from high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or polypropylene, materials selected for their durability, impact resistance, and chemical inertness. The product line includes colored totes with latch-on lids, clearview totes with snap-on or latch-on lids, and plastic drawer cabinets with pull handles and optional casters. Capacities range from 8 gallons to 27 gallons for totes, with dimensions accommodating standard shelving and pallet configurations. Drawer cabinets are available in 3-drawer and 4-drawer models, with drawer dimensions up to 25.5 inches wide and 18.75 inches deep, suitable for storing tools, parts, and supplies. STERILITE products are designed for indoor use and are not rated for outdoor UV exposure or extreme temperatures. The brand does not publish IP ratings or load ratings for its consumer-grade products, but the plastic construction provides basic protection against dust and moisture in controlled environments. 3G Electric supplies a range of STERILITE storage totes and drawer cabinets, including clearview models for visual inventory management and colored totes for color-coded organization. The selection covers multiple sizes and configurations to support plant maintenance, warehouse storage, and workshop organization. 3G Electric stocks these items for global shipment, with specifications and dimensions provided for each SKU to facilitate procurement decisions.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about STERILITE from 3G Electric.

What materials are STERILITE storage totes made from?

STERILITE storage totes are manufactured from plastic, typically high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or polypropylene. These materials are chosen for their impact resistance, rigidity, and resistance to chemicals and moisture. The plastic is non-porous, making it easy to clean and suitable for storing a variety of items in dry indoor environments. The brand does not specify exact resin grades or recycled content for individual models.

Are STERILITE drawer cabinets stackable or modular?

STERILITE drawer cabinets are designed as standalone units and are not explicitly rated for stacking. Some models include a frame base or casters for mobility, but the brand does not provide stacking interlock features or weight ratings for vertical stacking. For stability, each cabinet should be placed on a level surface. The drawer units are modular in the sense that multiple cabinets can be arranged side by side, but they are not designed to be locked together.

What is the maximum weight capacity of STERILITE storage totes?

STERILITE does not publish specific weight capacity ratings for its storage totes. The totes are designed for general storage of household or light industrial items, such as documents, clothing, tools, and small parts. The plastic construction can support moderate loads, but the lids are not load-bearing and should not be used as seating or stepping surfaces. For heavy or dense items, consider the tote's dimensions and the strength of the lid latches.

Can STERILITE clearview totes be used for food storage?

STERILITE clearview totes are made from plastic that is not explicitly labeled as food-grade or BPA-free by the manufacturer. The brand does not market these totes for direct food contact. They are intended for dry storage of non-food items such as office supplies, craft materials, or hardware. If food storage is required, use containers specifically designed and certified for food contact.

Do STERILITE drawer cabinets come with casters or a frame base?

STERILITE drawer cabinets are available with either casters or a frame base, depending on the model. For example, the 3-drawer cabinet (MPN 48308002) includes casters for mobility, while the 4-drawer unit (MPN 01743V01) has a frame base. Check the product specifications for each SKU to confirm the base type. Casters are typically plastic and rated for light-duty movement on smooth floors.

What is the difference between latch-on lids and snap-on lids on STERILITE totes?

Latch-on lids feature hinged latches that snap over the tote rim to secure the lid, providing a more secure closure that resists accidental opening during handling or stacking. Snap-on lids press directly onto the tote rim without latches, offering a simpler closure suitable for lighter-duty storage. Latch-on lids are common on larger totes (e.g., 27-gallon models), while snap-on lids are used on smaller clearview totes (e.g., 14.5-gallon models).
