Shop Containers
Shop Containers are used to move parts in unit loads (see Figure10-24). We may chop up large sheets of steel or coils of steel into small parts. These parts are collected in bin or boxes made of cardboard, plastic, or steel and moved to the second operation (see Figure 10-25). Shop containers are often stacked on pallets moved to the next machine and placed on the next machine. Machines can be filled by using that hold shop containers at the correct angle and position. Shop containers are used over and over again. These containers must be durable, stackable, and portable.
