AS recorded briefly last week, Pressoturn Ltd., of Leamington Spa, has formed a new division, Tote Systems International, to market the Plasbin containers developed by I.C.I. Plastics and the Portolite flexible containers made by Marston Excelsior Ltd. Tote Systems International, which has a London office at 3 Buckingham Gate, S.W.1, market the Tote mechanical bulk handling systems, which use aluminium unit-load containers ranging from 74 to I JO eu. ft. Tote
Systems also offer a complete materials handling service.
The self-discharging Plasbin containers, made from one-piece-moulded Alkathene to protect materials and liquids susceptible to contamination, range from 60 to 80 cu. ft. capacity, and the types available now include a new P65 container of 65 Cu. ft. capacity which Pressoturn has developed. This has a redesigned frame to facilitate handling by pallet truck, fork truck or crane, an altered base to give ease of loading on to platform vehicles, and is lighter than hitherto with
out loss of strength. Frame design allows for safe stacking.
Portolite flexible tanks for transport or storage are made in capacities up to about 3,000 gal. Also being handled by Tote Systems are Portolite FMC containers, The FMC is a flexible container in a ribbed light alloy box; it can be handled and stacked as a solid load and then collapsed for return. As a 750-gal. container the FMC measures 84 in. by 88 in. by 491 in. high; folded it is the same base dimension but is •only 14 in. high.
