Product Description
This is a straightforward, practical storage bin designed for bulk dry ingredient handling in commercial kitchens, bakeries, and food production environments. Made from polyethylene, it holds 72 litres and sits on four castors, making it easy to move around a prep area or bring directly to a workstation as needed.
In day-to-day kitchen use, mobile ingredient bins like this are most commonly used for flour, sugar, rice, grains, and similar dry goods. The ability to wheel the bin to wherever it is needed — rather than carrying heavy containers across the kitchen — reduces effort and the risk of spillage during busy prep periods. The slide or lift-up lid keeps contents protected between uses while still allowing quick, one-handed access when hands are occupied.
From an operational standpoint, the practical advantages are straightforward:
- Clear lid allows contents to be identified without opening
- Four heavy-duty castors allow easy repositioning around the kitchen
- Polyethylene construction is robust, easy to wipe down, and food-safe
- Lid design supports both slide and lift access depending on preference
- Lightweight at 5kg empty, manageable even when partially loaded
There are no electrical or plumbing requirements. The main practical consideration is floor space and access routes — at 460mm square, the bin takes up a modest footprint, but in a tight kitchen it is worth confirming there is sufficient clearance to move it freely between storage and prep areas. It is not suitable for wet ingredients or liquids.
This size works well for small to medium kitchens or as a secondary bin in larger operations. For sites handling higher volumes of dry goods, or where multiple ingredients need to be stored in the same format, larger capacity options are available in this range.
If you are unsure whether this size suits your throughput or storage setup, we are happy to help you work it out before you order.

Frequently Asked Questions
- This bin is designed for dry bulk ingredients such as flour, sugar, rice, pulses, and similar goods. It is not suitable for liquids or wet ingredients, as the design does not provide a sealed, watertight container.
- For a small to medium kitchen, or as a secondary storage bin in a larger operation, 72 litres is a practical working size for most dry goods. If you are running high-volume production or need to store large quantities of a single ingredient without frequent refilling, it is worth considering whether a larger capacity bin in the same range would better suit your throughput.
- Yes, the castors make them practical in both environments. In a dry store they can be lined up for organised bulk storage and wheeled out as needed, which works well when restocking prep areas during service. Just ensure the floor surface is reasonably smooth — heavily uneven flooring can make castor movement awkward with a loaded bin.
