Viscount Launches Next-Generation Nally Folding MegaBins®

Australian circular logistics leader Viscount has launched its next-generation Nally Folding MegaBin® range, expanding its reusable pooling solutions for bulk goods across fresh produce, protein, poultry, food manufacturing and raw materials supply chains.

At the core of the innovation is a structural breakthrough: the Folding MegaBin® is the only pooled bin in Australia capable of stacking six high when fully loaded. With a maximum load capacity of 550kg, the design maximises vertical storage efficiency while maintaining structural integrity and operational safety.

By enabling six-high stacking rather than the traditional five, operators reduce forklift movements and handling time, labour inputs and truck loading durations also minimising additional handling within distribution centres. 

Intelligent Traceability Built In

Viscount's Nally Folding MegaBin® also sets a new benchmark in reusable bulk packaging through RFID-enabled traceability.

Every bin is RFID-equipped as standard, providing asset visibility across complex national supply chains. Through optional advanced Genius Tag™ Track & Trace technology, customers gain real-time transparency and operational insights, strengthening asset accountability and supply chain efficiency.

Optional advanced tracking capabilities can also deliver predictive alerts for temperature fluctuations and handling incidents, helping protect product integrity, reduce shrinkage and safeguard cold-chain performance.

Circular Pooling Model Eliminates Single-Use Packaging

Designed and manufactured in Australia, the Folding MegaBin® operates within Viscount's pooling ecosystem.

Bins arrive washed, sanitised and ready to load, at end of use, bins are returned to Viscount where they are professionally cleaned, inspected and redistributed - eliminating the disposal, repacking and waste associated with single-use cardboard or timber packaging. This reusable system allows growers, processors and manufacturers to focus on their core operations while reducing waste across the supply chain.

Folding Design Unlocks Reverse Logistics Efficiency

Another defining innovation is the bin's integrated folding architecture. The MegaBin® features a 3:1 collapse ratio, reducing from 780mm to just 280mm when folded. Collapsed units can be stored up to 20 high, significantly reducing reverse logistics volume and transport costs while improving warehouse efficiency.

Built to Protect Product Quality

Engineered for high-volume supply chains, the Folding MegaBin® combines durability with product protection. Smooth, non-porous interior surfaces support superior hygiene and easy sanitation, while rounded corners reduce bruising and product damage. Integrated ventilation slots optimise airflow, helping maintain freshness and extend shelf life.

The bins are also automation-ready, compatible with tipping systems, washing facilities, conveyors and beam racking - enabling seamless integration into modern processing environments.

Sustainability Embedded in the Design

The Folding MegaBin® replaces single-use cardboard and timber packaging with a durable reusable alternative designed for long-term circulation. 

By eliminating nails, staples and timber pallet dependency, the system improves workplace safety while reducing packaging waste. At the end of its service life, materials are recovered and repurposed, supporting Viscount's commitment to circular manufacturing and zero-waste outcomes.

Range Designed for Bulk Goods at Scale

The Nally Folding MegaBin® range is available in multiple configurations to support diverse supply chain requirements:

• 780L Vented - The original bulk bin engineered for durability, hygiene and airflow
• 780L Drop Door - Dual drop-down doors for improved ergonomics for manual loading and unloading
• 475L Low Height - Ideal for smaller volumes and hard produce such as stone fruit, pumpkins, potatoes, onions and broccolini

Together, the range delivers durability, traceability and circular performance at scale — redefining what reusable bulk packaging can achieve across Australia's most demanding logistics environments.
