Product Information
Full details
The Barton Shelf Storage Bin is a durable, professional-grade organization tool designed for workshop managers, mechanics, and DIY enthusiasts who need to keep small parts categorized and easily accessible. Its primary benefit is its high resistance to industrial substances like oil and chemicals, making it a long-lasting alternative to metal or cardboard containers. The primary caveat is that it is purpose-built for shelving, so it is not designed to be used as a standalone wall-mounted system without compatible racking.

FAQs
Are these bins stackable?
These bins are designed to be placed side-by-side on shelves; they nest when empty to save space, but are not intended to be stacked vertically on top of one another while loaded.
Will these react to gasoline or motor oil?
No, the bins are engineered to be impervious to most oils, greases, and common workshop chemicals.
Do they come with dividers?
The bins are designed to accept transparent dividers, but please verify if your specific package includes them, as they are often sold as optional accessories.
Can I use these in a high-temperature environment?
While durable, these are made of industrial-grade polymer and should be kept away from direct heat sources, open flames, or extreme high-temperature ovens.
Are they safe for food storage?
No, these are professional workshop storage bins and are not rated for food-grade contact.
Troubleshooting
Bin sliding off the shelf during use
Ensure the bin stop is correctly positioned against the shelf lip and that the shelf is level.
Dividers not staying in place
Check that the dividers are fully clicked into the molded channels within the bin interior.
Difficulty cleaning stuck-on residue
Soak the bin in warm soapy water to loosen debris, then wipe with a non-abrasive microfiber cloth.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Extremely durable and resistant to industrial fluids
- Space-saving nesting design
- Professional, clean aesthetic in a standard blue finish
- Easy access through the semi-open front design

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is straightforward: slide the bins onto any standard flat shelving unit that accommodates a 300mm deep profile. To maximize utility, install the optional transparent dividers before loading parts to prevent components from sliding together during transit or vibration. Compatibility is highest with standard metal workshop racking. For care, the bins are low maintenance. Because they are chemical-resistant, you can clean them using common industrial degreasers or a simple mild soap and water solution if they become dusty or oily. Avoid using abrasive steel wool, as this may scratch the finish and harbor residue over time.
