A collection of Mobil Plastic red polystyrene modular industrial tilt bin storage units. The units are constructed from interlocking red polystyrene housings, each containing transparent tilt-out storage bins designed for small parts organisation. These modules are intended for custom configurations and can be stacked, interlocked, or wall-mounted. A moulded mark in relief reading Mobil Plastic is present on the sides of the red housings and on the clear handles of the individual bins. One unit features a printed label reading Tiltbox Layout with a grid numbered 7 through 12. A yellow adhesive warning sticker at the base of the frame reads 1,325KG TOTAL WEIGHT LOADING (EVENLY DISTRIBUTED). The pieces are marked with a moulded recycling symbol and the letters PS. The lot comprises the storage units only; the wicker baskets and shelving shown in the background are not included.
