TOTELINE
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about TOTELINE from 3G Electric.
What are TOTELINE extreme-temperature stacking and nesting totes used for?
TOTELINE extreme-temperature stacking and nesting totes are fiberglass-reinforced containers designed for applications involving high heat or cold storage. They are commonly used in industrial baking, food processing, and material handling where thermoplastic totes might warp or crack. The totes can be stacked for storage or nested when empty to save space. Their fiberglass construction resists thermal stress, moisture, and many chemicals. Matching lids are available to protect contents from debris and contamination. These totes are specified by dimensions such as 42 1/2 in x 20 in or 27 1/2 in x 20 in, and they are compatible with specific lid part numbers. 3G Electric supplies these totes and lids globally.
How do I choose the correct TOTELINE lid for my tote?
To choose the correct TOTELINE lid, first identify your tote model number, such as 487N97, 487N98, or 487N99. Then match the lid's dimensions and compatibility. For example, lids measuring 42 1/2 in x 20 in fit certain large totes, while 27 1/2 in x 20 in lids fit smaller models. Lid part numbers like 7801185280, 7801185172, 7807185172, 7801185268, 7807185170, 7801185170, 7807185280, and 7807185268 correspond to specific sizes and colors. Color options include red, gray, blue, and green. Always verify the manufacturer part number against your tote's specification. 3G Electric can assist with cross-referencing if you provide your existing tote model.
What material are TOTELINE lids made from?
TOTELINE lids are made from fiberglass-reinforced composite material, typically a thermoset polyester resin with glass fiber reinforcement. This construction provides high strength, dimensional stability, and resistance to warping or cracking under thermal stress. The material also resists moisture, many chemicals, and impact. Unlike thermoplastic lids, fiberglass lids maintain their shape in extreme temperatures, making them suitable for industrial baking ovens, food processing lines, and cold storage. The lids are available in several colors, including red, gray, blue, and green, which can aid in color-coding or identification. They are designed to cover and protect contents in stacking and nesting totes. 3G Electric stocks multiple SKUs of these fiberglass lids.
Are TOTELINE products suitable for food processing applications?
TOTELINE fiberglass-reinforced products are used in food processing applications where resistance to high temperatures, moisture, and repeated washing is required. The non-porous, smooth surface of molded fiberglass can be cleaned and sanitized. These products are commonly found in industrial baking, where they withstand oven temperatures, and in cold storage. However, specific compliance with food-contact regulations depends on the exact product and local requirements. Buyers should verify that the selected TOTELINE item meets their facility's hygiene standards. 3G Electric can provide material information and part numbers to support your evaluation. Always consult the manufacturer's documentation for food-contact suitability.
What sizes of TOTELINE stacking and nesting totes are available?
TOTELINE stacking and nesting totes are available in various standard sizes. The extreme-temperature line includes totes and lids in dimensions such as 42 1/2 in x 20 in and 27 1/2 in x 20 in. These sizes correspond to specific tote models like 487N97, 487N98, and 487N99. Lids are matched to these sizes, with part numbers indicating the dimensions and color. Other sizes may be available in the broader TOTELINE catalog. For a complete list of available sizes and compatible lids, consult 3G Electric's product listings or contact their support team with your dimensional requirements. Custom sizes are not typically offered, but standard sizes cover many industrial needs.
