size of enclosure - will this work in a rack?

[recycling goddess]

okay, so i've been everywhere looking for sterilite 1960s and let me tell you all... i cannot find them in canada. so... would this one work?

the 1895 model - 39 5/8" L x 20 1/2" W x 7" H - 67 qt wheeled underbed latch box

i realize the 1960 is 41 qt and 34 3/4"L x 16 1/2"W x 6"H but since i can't get it... would the 1895 be okay to use?

my hubby is getting ready to build my rack system... but we need to get the containers first so we can build it around them.

the only other one i can find is the 1886 is 35 qt - 24 1/2”L x 17 3/4”W x 7 1/8”H but that seems way to small to me.

[hoo-t]

I'm too lazy to go try to find a pic of the 1895 on the web, but I think the wheel wells protrude into the tub? Any irregularities in the interior surface makes cleaning more difficult. pros/cons of the wheels - pro- It would seem that it would make the tubs slide in/out of the rack easier. con- If its TOO easy, and the rack isn't level, vibrations (snake movement, walking by if you have wood floors) might allow the tub to roll out of the rack on its own? Guess you could set up a pin lock to prevent that though. Are you planning on open top, or are you using the tub lid? If open top, make sure the top is even over the entire surface... no bumps or dips where the flip top hinges. The only other consideration that I can think of is to use a tub that the mfr is not likely to change the design on, in case you need to replace tubs later on. To me, a tub with more features, wheels and flip top, is more likely to change.

No Targets up there? Target is where I got my 1960s. Another thought... Can you order online from Target? Don't know what shipping would cost, but I know they have online ordering available on their website.

Just some random thoughts. I hope they're helpful!

Sterilite is a thin cheap plastic, the iris boxes would be a better choice. try this lady out.

But if its the Sterilite 1960 you really really want...you should be able to get them, we have them at walmart here in Ontario.... just tell them you want some brought in from a different store, because you know that other walmart locations carry them, I do this all the time for other stuff (mostly kids toys and things)

okay so... cb 110 should be good for my two boas and cb 70 would be excellent for my balls right?

so... 2 cb 110 and 10 cb 70 should make a nice size rack or would that be too high (having the cb 70s - 2 on a shelf)
