Need equiptment id

Ive seen this item used as a sump, most recently by muralreef, before that Josh at Kolani.
This would be perfect for an application i have and if possible would like to find out where i can find several. Anyone know what they are they originally used for? And hopefully where to find more?

That's my pic. I bought mine from Josh. He called it a tomato bin. I assume they are used to haul produce. Check local farm supply shops.

I use one as a sump also. I got mine from a fellow reefer years ago.

I got the idea from you. Your house was my first meeting and I thought the bin was a great idea.

Not sure if this is what you are looking for but I've seen some reefers with these:

Yep, i stole the picture from your build thread, I almost bought it when he had it up for sale. Do you still have it?

I have found them online under a few different names. Seems like they are used alot for produce shipping, i.e. Tomato bin, . They can be expensive new. So I think checking with produce places was a good idea, as i hope to find a few used. So if anybody has seen these around shoot me a pm.

Still the sump at school. I still like it. The only problem I had with it was the walls don't go straight up they kind of flare out so I couldn't cut acrylic for baffles.

If you could look for me next time you get a free minute and see if there are any brand names or info on it, i would super appreciate it.

Looking for this I found my Mexican Rock Wrasse fish chip behind the tank. Guess he jumped this weekend. View attachment 23197
