Quantum Storage Stack and Nest Totes
Quantum Storage Stack and Nest Totes are engineered for space-saving logistics, nesting when empty and locking securely when stacked to deliver transportation and storage savings for cyclical collection programs. While they don’t match Pelican’s extreme impact resistance or Rubbermaid’s maximum ruggedness, Quantum’s balance of nesting efficiency and mid-range durability makes them a cost-effective choice for mixed-use modular container fleets.

Review Summary
"Quantum Storage Stack & Nest totes are appreciated for their space-saving nest/stack design and affordable price, though reviewers note they are lighter-duty than industrial totes and lids can wear with heavy continuous use. Buyers find them excellent for general storage and seasonal use but less ideal for very heavy loads."
