(As in, physical storage, not hard drives.)
Standardized storage containers that are stackable, robust and likely to still be available to buy years from now.
My tweet asking for suggestions resulted in two suggestions:
- Sortimo L-Boxx (also known under different brand names, e.g. Bosch in the US)
- systainer by Tanos (also known under different brand names, especially Festool)
Jonas suggested this article that compares them.
Since both of these "professional" systems are awesome, but really expensive, I finally settled for something different: Euro containers, also known as KLT boxes. They are
- inexpensive (less than 10 €)
- stackable
- also available in half and quarter size (still stackable!)
- available with lids or folding or meshed
- for sale at ordinary hardware stores.
Currently, the ~5 euro boxes I have are simply placed on non-slip mats in my van's cargo area. This tweet has a photo. In the future, I want to secure them with airline lashing tracks. These will be attached to the floor/wall/ceiling of the cargo space using insert nuts.
