    AP 570 tubs?

    Does anyone have the Animal Plastics 570 rack?

    I am trying to figure out if it takes any other tubs besides the container store tubs they link too?

    TIA

    I've never tried or even thought to...

    I have the AP 375 combo rack and have both types of tubs. I'll try to remember when I'm off work to try out some other tubs I've got laying around. Pretty sure I have a 28qt tub I can try out. I doubt 32qt would fit since it is taller.

    Specs from the tub websites for Container Store:
    22.5" x 14.75" x 5.375"

    Sterilite 28qt for the 1655 from their website:
    23" x 16.25" x 6"
    This would include the lid from my experience, plus dimensions listed on sites using these tubs tend to list 22.175" x 16" x 5.625"

    There is wiggle room at the top and especially the front to back on my rack where the narrow side would go definitely sticks out enough that I think it is feasible, though it would require air holes because it would be tighter at the top, possibly with no gap.

    I don't think I have any other tubs around that would he candidates to fit. Most of my other spare tubs are Hefty which are definitely too tall.

    AP seems to have changed some of the tubs that work in their racks.
    (baby tub rack tubs I have in my old rack are too large for the new baby rack I got, I had to get the container store ones).
    It'd probably be best to reach out to Ali and ask her directly if any others would fit.

    Just tried and can confirm it will not fit. The long end looked fine, but the height stopped it at the little ridges off the bottom. Can't say if depth would work or not on mine since it is the combo style.
