What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
Listing details are inconsistent about lid operation: the title and feature copy describe a safety hinge, while the specifications also call the opening mechanism a lift-off lid. Capacity is listed as 25 gallons and elsewhere as 25 gal (96 L), and the maximum weight recommendation is 135.62 kg while the feature copy gives a 300 lb/136 kg total capacity. Treat the load limits as manufacturer claims, distinguish the 25 kg storage limit from the top limit, and confirm the lid mechanism and applicable capacities before buying. Assembly is required.
