Big Bag Divider

The BigBag Divider is a solution for transporting and storing bulk bags, while at the same time, solving a number of identified challenges due to damages caused from wooden pallet usage.

The BigBag Divider was custom-designed for block stacking. It is free of splintering and sharp edges and protects the bags stacked in this manner against abrasion and damage. The main elements are the four-sided fork shafts that enable easy and safe stacking using a forklift. The tunnel design protects the bags from contact with the fork arms, which in turn can be retracted smoothly.

The transport and block stacking of bulk bags on standard pallets pose a lot of challenges. The large openings at the bottom of the standard pallets can cause damage to bulk bags. Bags filled with powder and granules can shift causing the bags to settle making it difficult to remove from a standard pallet. Nails, splinters, and sharp edges on wooden pallets tear the bulk bags causing product to fall out.

The BigBag Divider’s nestability, when empty, requires little storage when in transit by truck or sea freight containers. Not only does it save on space, but it reduces CO2 emissions as well.

The BigBag Divider is available in two different sizes: 40 x 40 and 43 x 43 in. It weighs between 14.5 and 18.5 lb, based upon the material grade chosen. Depending on the field application, the BigBag Divider is offered in two different types of recycled materials: Recycled ACM - a low cost, alternative to one-way shipping and recycled HDPE - best suited for returnable containers, logistical circuits, and long-term use in warehouses. The product design also offers raised edges so no slipping or overlapping of bags occurs, and a flat, stable contact surface that is ideal for automatic roller conveyors, to name a few.
