Oliver Bennett – Catering Equipment Expert View Profile →

  • Pro: The integrated wheels make moving 70 litres of flour or veg effortless.
  • Con: Its large footprint requires dedicated floor space, not ideal for tiny kitchens.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Flour Pot Bakery, a busy artisanal spot in Bristol, was struggling with bulky, immovable sacks of flour and  sugar, leading to occasional spoilage and  serious back strain for the team during prep.

"These boxes have completely sorted out our storeroom. We can just wheel everything we need right up to the mixers. It's safer for the team and  our expensive ingredients are much better protected. Simple, but so effective."

David Chen – Head Baker

Since switching, they have reduced ingredient spoilage by over 15% and  made daily stock-taking 50% faster.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Before first use, give the container and  lid a thorough wash with warm, soapy water and  a food-safe sanitiser.
  • Snap on the coloured clips that correspond to your kitchen's HACCP plan to designate its contents.
  • Check the wheels are free from any packaging debris to ensure they roll smoothly from the get-go.
  • Find a permanent, convenient home for it that doesn't obstruct busy walkways.

Keeping It Going

  • Clean thoroughly between uses, especially when changing the type of ingredient stored inside.
  • Regularly check that the lid and  clips create a snug, airtight fit to maintain freshness.
  • Wipe the wheels down occasionally to prevent dirt build-up which can affect movement.
  • Avoid using abrasive scouring pads, as these can create micro-scratches where bacteria can hide.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Food Storage

Not sure what fits best? Here’s a quick guide to picking the perfect food storage solution for your business.

Material Matters

Look for food-grade polypropylene. It's tough, durable, and  resists the stains and  odours that can ruin lesser plastics, ensuring a long, hygienic life.

Size vs. Space

A huge 70 litre container is fantastic for bulk goods, but make sure you measure your floor or shelf space first to ensure it will fit neatly in your kitchen.

An Airtight Investment

A secure, tight-fitting lid is non-negotiable. It’s your first line of defence against air, moisture, and  pests, protecting your stock and  saving you money.

Safety First

Colour-coding isn't just for show; it's a vital part of HACCP compliance. Using a system with clips or labels helps prevent costly cross-contamination.

Consider Mobility

For anything heavy like sacks of flour, potatoes, or onions, containers with built-in wheels can be a massive boost to efficiency and  staff wellbeing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Are the coloured clips included with the container?

A: Yes, a set of 8 clips (2 of each core HACCP colour - red, yellow, blue, and  green) comes included with every container.

Q: Can these containers be stacked on top of each other when they are full?

A: Absolutely. The heavy-duty construction and  robust lid design allow for stable stacking, helping you make the most of your vertical storage space.

Q: Is the plastic food-grade and  safe for a commercial kitchen?

A: Yes, it is made from high-quality, food-safe polypropylene that is specifically designed for the demands of a professional catering environment.

Q: What kind of weight can it realistically hold?

A: It's designed to hold a 70-litre volume of ingredients, easily handling the weight of heavy items like potatoes, root vegetables, flour, or sugar.

Q: Are the wheels removable for cleaning?

A: The wheels are integrated directly into the base for maximum strength and  stability, so they are not designed to be removed.

Q: How good is the seal on the lid?

A: The clip-on lid is designed to create a tight and  secure seal, which is excellent for locking in freshness and  protecting contents from airborne contaminants and  pests.

Q: I'm new to HACCP. What are the clip colours for?

A: They help you segregate food types to prevent cross-contamination. A common system is: red for raw meat, blue for raw fish, green for fruit & veg, and  yellow for cooked meats.

Q: Is this container suitable for freezing?

A: While the plastic is durable, these containers are primarily designed for ambient or chilled storage. Check the specific temperature rating if you require deep-freezing.

It's a built-in reminder that makes it easy for any team member, new or experienced, to follow crucial safety rules without needing to check complex wall charts. It's visual, instant, and  helps you meet EHO standards with zero fuss.
