Akro-Mils was founded by Meyer and Louis Myers in 1933. They started out as a tire supply store, which was the origin of Meyers Industries Inc. Meyers Industries founded Akro-Mils for plastic and rubber products in 1946, and in 1972 they introduced the Akrobin storage and organization container.

They are heavy-duty bins that securely stack on top of each other, sit on shelving or hang from Akro-Mils racks, panels, rails, or carts. These bins are unaffected by weak acids and bases. They are made with a one-piece construction which makes them water, rust, and corrosion proof and they are also guaranteed not to crack under normal load conditions.

Akro-Mils offers a louvered hanging system that will allow you to hang the bins from a stamped 16-gauge steel panel allowing for a 160lbs capacity. They also offer a steel rail hanging system which is wall mountable and will accept 6 sizes of Akrobins with a 110lb capacity.

The shelf bins themselves work with 12”, 18” and 24” deep shelving, or vertical retrieval units and if you want to maximize your space, you can keep your products separate in the bins by using the dividers or bin cups which help to eliminate confusion and make part retrieval that much easier. If you are in the market for larger totes, here at Gregg’s we also carry the Akro-Mils line of nest and stack totes which are for storing larger items. They easily stack on top of each other and when they are not in use, you simply turn them 180 degrees and can place them inside of one another saving you storage space! The other type of large tote we carry is the “Attached Lid Container” which is simply a large container with an interlocking lid that features reinforced hinges and a padlock eye for keeping your products safe. Both of these larger-scale storage options come in multiple sizes so you’ll be sure to find one suited to your needs.

Akro-Mils also carries a line of storage cabinets that feature a heavy-duty steel frame and durable powder coat finish. They have drawers with a molded-in label holder and a transparent window to allow instant content identification and you can fit two side by side on a standard 36” wide shelf. The drawers are rust, corrosion, and dent-proof, and come in a variety of 5 different sizes which determines how many drawers will fit in a single cabinet.

The final two products are the ProCart and Versa Deck. This ProCart should be a staple in your business. This cart can easily and efficiently transform from a box top to a flat top cart in seconds to better accommodate how you are using it. For instance, if you have a box that is too large to fit inside the perimeter of the cart, unhinge the sides and turn the cart into a flat top.

Alternatively, if you are transporting product that rolls around during transportation lift the sides back up to keep your products confined and safe. The cart also features deep molded compartments that keep small items secure but within reach ensuring your efficiency. The lower level of the cart has I-beam posts which allow you to maneuver larger items in and out of the section with ease and the wheels at the bottom feature a toe-touch locking system so you never have to worry about a runaway cart ever again. The Versa Deck is a versatile structural foam cart that is sturdy and easy to clean as the deck resists most chemicals and damage. All decks are steel reinforced and can withstand a load of 2,000 lbs!
