Monoflo stack-and-nest containers stack on each other when loaded and nest inside each other when empty, with no folding step. They sit on the 600 × 400 mm footprint used by most tote conveyors and automated storage systems.

SN 6040 specifications

SN 6040-270600 × 400 × 270 mm (23.6 × 15.7 × 10.6 in)490 × 340 × 249 mm (19.3 × 13.4 × 9.8 in)1.969 kg (4.3 lb)1604,800

Both ship 160 to a 48 × 40 in pallet. Nesting needs tapered walls, so the inside is smaller than the outside footprint suggests: 490 × 340 mm on the 270 mm model and 538 × 370 mm on the 375 mm model. Size from the inside dimensions.

Choosing a height

The SN 6040-270 is the low tote: 249 mm of inside height, about 1.5 cu ft, and 4.3 lb. The SN 6040-375 gives 369 mm of inside height and about 2.6 cu ft at 5.3 lb. The taller tote carries roughly 70% more volume per position, if your system has the clearance for it.

Stack-and-nest compared with folding totes

A nesting tote has no hinges or latches, so there is less to wear and nothing for an operator to fold. Empties drop into each other in one motion. The trade-offs are the tapered inside and the fact that nested totes can wedge if they are forced together. A foldable stack-only or knockdown container keeps straight walls and returns flatter, at the price of a folding step.

Check how your conveyor handles the base and whether drainage holes are needed for wash-down or wet product. The full range is under automation containers and trays.

Frequently asked questions

Why is the inside of a stack-and-nest tote smaller than the outside?

The walls taper so that one empty tote can drop inside another. On the SN 6040-270 the outside is 600 × 400 mm and the inside is 490 × 340 mm. Always check your product against the inside dimensions.

Do stack-and-nest totes need lids to stack?

That depends on the design: some stack on a rim or bail and others on a lid. Confirm how the exact model stacks when loaded, and its rated stack load, in your quote.
