MacroBin & ProBin Harvest Bins for Produce, Winery & Food Processing
MacroBin and ProBin containers are reusable agricultural bulk bins manufactured by IPL Schoeller—built for produce harvesting, winery and brewery production, food processing, cold storage, and bulk distribution across the agricultural supply chain.
MacroBins (vented wall) are the standard choice for fruits, vegetables, and nuts requiring airflow during harvest and storage. ProBins (solid wall) are widely used in food processing, winemaking, brewing, and any application where liquid containment and full sanitation are required.
At Pallets & Bins, we supply MacroBin and ProBin harvest bins to growers, wineries, breweries, processors, distributors, and food manufacturers throughout the United States—and we help you identify the right bin for your crop, production process, and handling environment.
Vented Macrobins
Airflow for fresh produce — apples, citrus,
grapes, potatoes, nuts, and more
Solid-Wall ProBins
Liquid containment for food processing,
winemaking, and brewing operations
Macro Quality
Built to withstand demanding agricultural, cold storage, and washdown environments
MacroBin Vented Harvest Bins
Vented MacroBins are the standard harvest bin for produce operations where airflow
during storage and transportation is critical. Available in Washington Standard, California Standard, and next-generation (NG) configurations to match regional sizing requirements.
Common crops: apples, pears, citrus, grapes, cherries, stone fruit, berries, potatoes, onions, garlic, and nuts.

ProBin Solid-Wall Agricultural Bins
ProBin solid-wall bins are built for applications where liquid containment, sanitation, and smooth cleanable surfaces matter — including food processing, winemaking, and brewery production. Unlike vented MacroBins, ProBins retain liquids and fine materials, clean completely with standard washdown equipment, and meet FDA material requirements for direct food contact.
FAQs
MacroBins are commonly used for apples, pears, citrus, grapes, cherries, stone fruit, berries, potatoes, onions, garlic, and nuts — any bulk crop requiring durable, stackable, ventilated harvest containers.
The ProBin 24S (47x47x28) and ProBin 48S (48x48x53) are the most commonly selected configurations for winery applications. The 48S offers deep capacity suited for larger crush volumes or fermentation staging, while the 24S is a versatile harvest-and-transport size.
These refer to size configurations common in their respective growing regions. Washington Standard bins are typically 48x48x28 inches, and California Standard
bins share those exterior dimensions but may have different wall configurations optimized for those regional market requirements.
Yes. MacroBin and ProBin containers from IPL Schoeller are manufactured from FDA-compliant materials suitable for direct food contact. ProBins with smooth solid walls are especially suited to food processing and beverage production environments requiring washdown sanitation.
Wood harvest bins absorb juice and moisture, harbor bacteria and mold, and are
difficult to fully sanitize. Plastic MacroBin and ProBin containers resist moisture, clean completely with standard washdown equipment, and deliver consistent dimensions across your entire bin fleet — improving both sanitation and operational predictability.
Why Agricultural Operations Source MacroBins Through Pallets & Bins
Choosing the right harvest bin involves more than selecting a size. Crop type, harvesting method, storage environment, and regional sizing standards all affect which MacroBin or ProBin configuration is right for your operation—and that's where we come in.
Most MacroBin and ProBin options are available with no minimum order quantity, making Pallets & Bins a practical source for both new systems and replacement bins as your fleet ages or expands.
