raaco Sichtlagerkasten model 102742 plastic storage bin, size 605×44×16 mm, single piece

raaco Sichtlagerkasten model 102742 is a single-piece plastic storage bin designed for visible parts storage and small-item organization. With internal dimensions of 605 × 44 × 16 mm, the storage bin provides a long, shallow compartment suitable for sorting and storing screws, fittings, electronic components or craft supplies. The transparent front edge and standardized shape allow easy identification of contents and efficient stacking as part of modular storage systems used in workshops, warehouses, retail counters or at home.

Advantages

The bin’s one-piece plastic construction offers resistance to common workshop contaminants and simplifies cleaning. Its elongated, low-profile internal space maximizes horizontal storage for long or narrow items while preserving accessibility. The clear front opening improves visual inventory checks without removing the bin from shelving. Design compatibility with common rail and shelf systems makes it easy to integrate into existing storage solutions.

Suitable for

• Sorting and storing screws, nuts, washers and small fittings
• Organising electronic components such as resistors, connectors and terminals
• Storing craft supplies like beads, threads and small tools
• Retail counters for visible small-item display and quick access
• Workshops and warehouses that require modular, stackable small-part storage

When it may not be suitable

Because the bin is shallow and long, it is not suitable for storing bulky or tall items that exceed the internal height. It is intended for light-to-medium loads; heavy items or concentrated heavy loads may cause deformation over time if the bin is overloaded or used outside recommended shelving support conditions.

Key specifications

• Material: single-piece plastic construction
• Internal dimensions: 605 × 44 × 16 mm (length × height × depth)
• Form factor: long, shallow bin with open front edge for visibility
• Mounting/placement: stackable and compatible with modular shelving and rail systems
• Typical use: small parts and visible storage

How to use

Place the bin on compatible shelving rails or directly on flat shelves designed for modular storage bins. Arrange items inside the elongated compartment so that frequently used small parts are positioned near the open front for easy access. For inventory control, use removable labels on the front edge or attach adhesive labels to the outside surface. When stacking, ensure bins are properly seated and that loads are evenly distributed to avoid distortion.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm internal dimensions (605 × 44 × 16 mm) match the size of items you plan to store
• Ensure your shelving or rail system supports long, shallow bins and the intended load
• Consider whether a transparent or colored bin better suits visibility and inventory practices

Usage recommendations

Use the raaco sight storage bin for grouped small parts where visual identification and quick access are priorities. Pair with front-edge labels and modular shelves to create an efficient parts-picking workflow while avoiding overloading the bin to maintain shape and stability.
