Angled opening of 40 pound vs. straight up opening of 50 pound container. Is there any functional difference in the opening design other than size? Not stacking them.

I really like the 40 pounds, is easy to get in, and i can stack them. I haven't got the 50 pounds, so i don't know

I wouldn't think so. Depending on where you'll locate them, the angled one may be easier to reach and see into.

There seems to be less spillage with the angled opening in my experience. The angled opening catches more.

Sounds like your dimensions fit the 60lb size better than the 40lb? I have the 60lb. 50lb of dog food fit easily with lid on side. $4 or $5 for 50% more storage is a bargain but do you need such a big one say for rice or flour. Perhaps if you have a restaurant? Also recommend one of those large aluminum scoops. They are fairly cheap and very useful for bulk transfers.

Dear Mr. Bisli,The website itself describes how to measure clearances for mounting, but even on my Dodge Nitro the height of the load determines whether the rear door can be opened or not without unloading first. As others have said mounting extensions are available but will affect weight capacity. Still the best and safest way to increase cargo capacity. Good luck.

I'd say about 40-45 for each opening. Depends on if any are double LP or not.

Preference, really. I find the angled check a little easier to deal with. Accuracy gap between the two could only be minimal.

My opening is 39 inches and i am only using one extension. 40 inches will work with both extensions. I like it but feel for the price it should be better. The wood on mine is greenish and the side with the latch could be sturdier. The adjustable part is the problem if extended as far as it goes.

I currently stack two of the 50 pound containers one of top of the other. They are very sturdy and I have no problems. The way the containers stack the doors open easily on the bottom due to space left for this purpose alone. Very stackable. Love mine and glad I ordered a second one.

My experience is that it is very easy to open. I have never had a problem. And the absence of a long handle (or handles) at least for me, makes it easier to store.

I see what you mean, I think they are coming up with that number by using the shipping weight of 35.4 lbs instead of the 32 lb of product only. I don't know why they do that. Overall, it's a good price vs. the 100 load smaller container so that's something to think about.

Yes it opens straight up. These seem to last longer than the ones that have the lever you step on to open the lid (not that you asked).

They are stable when stacked together, I would not go more that two or three high with the 50 lbs containers if they are in the open.

You will have the opening even with the orange grips. The opening is not an issue and actually makes it better and more challenging.

No, it wouldn't fit with the rise IMO. But I haven't tried it. I've Only done the 1 pound on each side. Have deviated yet lol...

These are flat. It works better than angled ones when you need to bust something loose. I have both styles and prefer these.

I have two of the 18 gal size for dog kibble and cat kibble. The stack nicely and hold enough kibble for at least a month. The two same size containers stack perfectly and are not wobbly. I don't know the dimiensions of the different sizes so I don't know if they would stack. As you know, there are little stubs on the bottom of the containers that fit perfectly into the indentation in the other container. I would say if the larger container isn't a perfect match for the indentations then they wouldn't stack well.

I also have a double pullout and the 50 Qt. containers work great; so good that several friends and family members ordered them as well. The increased depth allows you to fill the plastic bags right to the top.

I use upside down from picture with a carrier when I use the carrier and it allows room to open the SUV gate if stuff not to high. Also use as a drop to level the trailer. Only downside is it sticks out when nothing onit.
