At my previous company, we used grounded PCB racks to hold/store boards in
conjunction with the totes. They were fully adjustable to accommodate
almost any board size and even have ESD safe covers/curtains to keep the
little gems dust free. They can be a bit pricey but given their
adjustability, how much capacity they can hold, and the convenience of the
racks being on casters for easy mobility, it's something to consider. We
purchased ours through Metro Carts

Subject: [TN] transporting assemblies inside manufacturing facility
TechNetters,
Please let me know of your methods for transporting assemblies in your
plants.
We have been using Olympic "totes". These are heavy, static-shielding,
polypropylene black boxes. But we have some assemblies that are too big to
fit inside - we can't put on the lids. And for other reasons, we would like
to try something else.
We are looking into some containers made by Kenflex. Their advantages are:
boxes can be custom-sized and assemblies ride is sliding, static-dissipative
polyethylene baffles. The disadvantage is they are expensive: depending on
number of baffles and box size, prices run in the 200$ range. (The Olympic
totes are about 55$.)
For any comments, many thanks, muchas gracias, grazie, merci beaucoup, muito
obrigado, Danke...
