ASRS Tote FAQ: Sizes, Conveyors, AGVs & Custom Options
ASRS totes are used in automated storage and retrieval systems, conveyors, AGV handling, automated sorting, and high-frequency warehouse operations. The answers below cover the most common questions buyers ask when selecting an automation-compatible plastic tote.
What ASRS tote sizes are available?
Join Plastic offers standard 600×400 mm and 540×420 mm footprints. Custom heights and project-specific sizes are also available when a system requires different external dimensions, internal capacity, or handling geometry.
Are ASRS totes suitable for conveyors and AGVs?
Models with reinforced flat bases are designed to support stable movement through automated storage, conveyor, sorting, and AGV systems. Final compatibility should be checked against equipment drawings, load requirements, sensors, transfer points, and sample testing.
Can ASRS totes be customized?
Available options include dividers, custom inserts, ESD materials, label areas, barcode or RFID provisions, colors, logo printing, reinforced structures, and custom mold development. These options help match the tote to automotive, electronics, small-parts, and industrial automation applications.
What information is needed for an ASRS tote quote?
Please provide required external and internal dimensions, load per tote, automation equipment or system drawing, expected annual quantity, operating environment, and any divider, ESD, label, barcode, RFID, color, or logo requirements.
Choosing the right ASRS tote
A suitable tote must work with the entire automation process—not only the storage rack. Base design, stacking, lid structure, load distribution, conveyor transfer, sensing, and robotic handling should be reviewed together before production.
