Large Industrial ESD Containers — Pallet-Sized Anti-Static Bins (600+ mm)

What counts as a "large" ESD container

For electronics manufacturers, "large" typically starts around the 600×400 mm Euro footprint and runs up to 1200×1000 mm full-pallet bins. Anything under 400×300 mm is usually treated as a workstation tote, not a "large industrial" container.

The Tyson Supply Chain large-container family is built on the same Foxconn-grade conductive PP (surface resistance 10⁴–10⁹ Ω) used in our smaller bins, scaled for higher load ratings: 50 kg per bin in 600×400, up to 150 kg per bin in 1200×1000.

Wall thickness on the large series is 3.5–5 mm rather than the 2.5–3 mm typical of small bins — important for stack-load distribution when you go 5 boxes high under full load.

Pallet footprints we stock

600 × 400 × H mm — Euro / Foxconn footprint, 4 per 1200×800 pallet. Heights 175, 220, 280, 325, 400 mm.

800 × 600 × H mm — half-pallet, 2 per 1200×800 pallet. Heights 220, 325, 400 mm.

1200 × 800 × H mm — full Euro pallet. Heights 600, 800 mm. Forklift entry on long side.

1200 × 1000 × H mm — full ISO pallet. Heights 600, 800 mm. Forklift entry on either side.

All sizes are stackable with 4-corner positive registration and ship with optional fitted lids.

Static performance for large containers

Surface resistance is held to 10⁴–10⁹ Ω across the whole bin — including the corners and floor pads. Charge decay is under 2 seconds at 12% relative humidity, validated per ANSI/ESD S20.20 STM11.11.

For large bins specifically: the high internal volume means more component-on-component triboelectric charging during fill / empty operations. We recommend adding a grounded floor mat under the bin during loading at the production cell, and a wrist-strap workstation on the unload end.

Custom sizing and faster lead times

Stock items in 600×400 and 800×600 footprints ship same-day from our LA warehouse. 1200×1000 sizes ship within 3-5 business days from stock or are quoted on a 4-6 week tooling lead time if you need a non-standard height.

For pallet-sized custom geometry (sub-divided cells, integrated dunnage, custom lid latches) we work from CAD or sample. MOQ on custom large containers starts at 100 pieces for thermoformed designs, 25 pieces for injection-tooled.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the largest ESD container you stock?

Stock items run to 1200×1000×800 mm (full ISO pallet footprint, 800 mm tall). Larger custom geometries — 1300×1100 mm and taller stacks — are available on 4-6 week tooling. Email sales@tysonsupplychain.com with the load profile and pallet program for a custom quote.

How much weight can a large ESD container hold?

Load rating depends on size and grade. 600×400 mm rates 50 kg per bin, 800×600 rates 75 kg, 1200×800 rates 100 kg, 1200×1000 rates 150 kg. Stack ratings (load on bottom bin in a 5-high stack) are roughly 60% of single-bin static rating — call out a fully-loaded stack on the quote so we recommend the right wall thickness.

Can large ESD containers be used on AGVs and conveyors?

Yes — large bins ship with 4-corner positive registration matching standard AGV cradle pickup, and the flat-bottom 600×400 / 800×600 sizes run on roller and belt conveyors with no modification. For chain conveyors or shuttle systems, specify the conveyor pitch on the quote so we match the bottom-rib spacing.

Are pallet-sized ESD containers reusable, or single-trip?

All our large containers are sized for closed-loop reuse — typical service life is 5-7 years in two-shift operation, with the conductive PP retaining surface resistance throughout. Single-trip pallet-sized ESD packaging usually moves to conductive corrugated boxes instead, which are 1/10 the unit cost.

Do large containers come with lids?

Lids are optional. Stocked lids snap on with a dust-tight seal and ship with the bin. For applications where the bin sits open at a workstation, you can save unit cost by ordering without lids and using anti-static stretch film over the top during transport.
