Why the Stor-Tub suits the garage

Garage and shed storage takes a beating. Tubs get loaded with tools, dragged across concrete and stacked high on shelves. Stor-Tubs were designed for workshops and warehouses first, so they handle home garage use with ease.

Built for heavy loads

Made from tough polypropylene and designed to carry heavy items like power tools, hardware and car care gear.

Stacks with lids, nests without

Fit the lids and Stor-Tubs stack securely. Take the lids off and empty tubs nest inside one another, so spares barely take up any space.

One footprint, three heights

Every Stor-Tub measures 648 x 415mm. Mix 32, 52 and 68 litre tubs on the same shelf and they still line up.

Made in Australia

Fischer has manufactured plastic storage in Mulgrave, Victoria since 1965, so supply is consistent and support is local.

Recycled option: Viro-Tub

Viro-Tubs are the charcoal, recycled version of the Stor-Tub, made in Australia from recycled polypropylene as part of Fischer's Viro range. Same design, same sizes, recycled material.

Frequently asked questions

Are Fischer Stor-Tubs made in Australia?

Yes. Stor-Tubs are made in Australia by Fischer Plastic Products, an Australian family-owned manufacturer that has made plastic storage products in Mulgrave, Victoria since 1965.

Are Stor-Tubs made from recycled plastic?

Yes, as Viro-Tubs. Viro-Tubs (codes ending in V, such as 1H-191V) are the charcoal version of the Stor-Tub, made in Australia from recycled polypropylene as part of Fischer's Viro range. The standard Stor-Tub is blue.

What sizes do Stor-Tubs come in?

Stor-Tubs come in 32 litre (195mm high), 52 litre (265mm high) and 68 litre (390mm high) sizes. All three share the same 648 x 415mm footprint, so they line up neatly on garage shelving.

Do Stor-Tubs stack?
