BUCKHORN INTRODUCES THE CITADEL™
The Revolutionary Collapsible Bulk Container for Liquid-type Loads
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Buckhorn introduces the Citadel™ - the most efficient reusable plastic bulk box for
safe transport of bulk fluid materials. The 48"L x 45"W x 47"H collapsible
container is the optimal size, capacity, and strength to hold up to 300 gallons or 3,000
lbs. of liquid-type product. Developed for users throughout the food and material
processing industry, the Citadel replaces bulk wooden containers or crates for transport
and long-term storage.
With its smooth surfaces and
rounded edges, the container prevents product contamination, damage, and worker injury
from protruding nails, splinters, and the sharp, metal banding associated with common
wooden containers. The Citadel's unique lid design features recessed latches to secure the
lid from multiple anchor points, contoured channels to prevent the accumulation of water
and debris, and edges that lay flush with the side panels to prevent breakage from impact.
When stacking containers, the lid interlocks with the base feet and runners of containers
below for secure stacking up to five containers high.
The Citadel optimizes ergonomics
to decrease worker injury and cuts product handling labor to improve efficiency:
 |
 |
Set up and collapse
is easy with side panels that lock securely in place for loading product or fold down for
compact storage. |
|
|
|
Ergonomic handles facilitate
safe, efficient panel movement. |
|
|
The panels feature
double-wall construction providing a smooth surface on the interior and exterior for easy
cleaning and product protection. |
|
|
|
A variety of ID
options are available, including tags, labels, and hot stamping for inventory control and
tracking. |
|
Replacing alternative bulk
packaging with the Citadel reduces operating costs by lowering transportation expense and
eliminating costs of disposal and metal banding. The container efficiently cubes out
trailers and railcars to reduce storage and freight costs. Manufactured from FDA-approved
high-density polyethylene (HDPE), the Citadel is weather and chemical resistant and 100%
recyclable.
