| What are the advantages of wire and steel material handling containers? 1. Strong and Durable nature - steel and wire containers are sufficiently strong and resilient enough to withstand significant abuse without losing shape or function. 2. Mechanical Resistance - for equivalent strength and durability, welded wire structures are always lighter. 3. Promotes efficient material flow - steel and wire containers specifically designed and manu factured to support your manufacturing and logistical operations saves time, effort, and re sources. 4. Quick content identification when stored - contents in wire and steel containers are visible, which makes for easier identification, simpler for taking inventory, and more accessible for quality control. 5. Content cleanliness - welded wire structures won’t collect grease, dust, or other scrap parti cles over time. 6. Non-flammable construction - wire and steel neither burns nor does it spread fire. This proves to be an important safety feature and it can reduce insurance premiums. 7. Easy and sturdy stacking when filled - the dimensional stability and integrity of steel and wire containers guarantee sturdy stacking. Functional foot and stacking cap design re-assure simplicity and correctness in the stacking process. 8. Collapsible and efficiently stored when empty - wire and steel containers can be collapse ble and, in turn, stack collapsed, providing an economy of space when not in use or in return transit. 9. Easily repaired if damaged - most MCS steel and wire containers are designed to have inter changeable components which can be easily dismantled and re-assembled new. Moreover, after several years of use an old container can be made to appear new, through re-painting or re-zincing. 10. Re-use - unlike non-returnable packaging, wire and steel containers mean savings in raw material expense (ie. cardboard and wood disposable packaging) and alleviates waste and disposal cost. 11. Flexibility in design depending upon application - steel and wire containers are versatile and allow for countless customer serving attributes depending upon your material handling requirements. 12. Inexpensive set up costs - fixed costs, such as tooling or set up fees, in the fabrication of specialized steel and wire containers is less complicated and expensive relative to other packaging systems. |

| What are common plating/coating options for MCS products? 1. Electrolytic zinc - ideal for wire components. Cosmetic and durable. 2. Enamel paint - common for large, non-collapsible components. Protects reasonably at low cost. 3. Hot dip galvanize - ideal for rigid, non-cosmetic components. Very durable. 4. Powder coat - ideal for cosmetic components. Protects reasonably, but not made to withstand abuse. 5. Plastisol - ideal for small components used to hold and protect parts. Tough yet non-abrasive. How can I find out more about MCS and what it can do for me? Contact the MCS staff and we will be glad to discuss your options. |
