Run the numbers before you commit
Free, no-signup calculators for the decisions our buyers actually make — what staying with timber or steel costs, what folding bins save on freight, and how many bins a harvest needs. Put your own figures in; nothing is shared.
What does staying with timber or steel really cost?
Wood and steel look cheap on day one, then bill you every season after. Put your own numbers in and see what staying put really costs over 15 years. Spoiler: it’s usually time to switch.
Typical timber bin: lasts ~2–4 years, patched most seasons. Tweak the figures to yours.
Indicative, from your own figures and typical service life (plastic ~15–30 yrs · timber ~2–4 · steel ~7–10). The plastic side is a one-time buy, get a quote for your number. Not financial advice; a planning estimate to show the shape of the saving.
How much do folding bins save on the empty run?
Rigid bins ship air on the way home. Folding bins collapse to about a third, so roughly three times as many empties ride back per trailer. See your return-trip saving.
Folding bulk bins collapse to roughly a third of their height, so ~3× more empties ride home per trailer. Tweak the per-trailer counts to your bin and truck.
How many bins for your harvest?
