Industrial Metal Bins

This is another term that can have more than one meaning. For instance, there are types of extremely large metal bins fabricated out of steel that have some similarities to metal shipping containers in terms of their size

. These are generally rated for both indoor and outdoor applications and can be used for bulk material and product storage, waste containment, and disposal, transportation of materials when outfitted with wheels, and even to secure very large/expensive equipment, such as those used on construction sites, when industrial-grade locks are added. However, there are smaller types of metal bins, generally meant for indoor use, that are essentially interchangeable with metal containers. These are used in commercial and industrial settings, in particular warehouses, and are often stackable to make the best use of space.
