Marlin Steel specializes in making steel wire mesh baskets to meet the exact needs and tolerances of your application. If you need a basket for part washing applications or handling small objects, then a mesh basket is an ideal product for you. We make thousands of custom steel baskets and racks each week for customers with exacting needs in industries such as the pharmaceutical, defense, automotive, aerospace, and food processing industries.
Wire mesh baskets allow for free flow of air and liquids through the basket’s open space, making them highly effective at allowing parts to dry after a wash cycle. Marlin Steel's custom mesh baskets can be the perfect asset for your next project.
Narrator: This is one of our most popular baskets. This basket is perfect for product display and material handling from one process in your factory to another work cell in your factory. It has open sides, so it's lightweight and very visible if you use it for visible inventory checks in a lean manufacturing environment.
The basket is chrome plated plain steel, 1010 grade. It has tapered sides so the baskets nest; if you're in between projects, they fit inside each other and take up little storage space. The baskets are very robust. Look how solid it is. The crosswire mesh is 0.1205 wire diameter spaced every 1.375 by 1.375, so it's very strong. The frames are quarter-inch thick so they can handle abuse in most harsh environments.
Our baskets are in Boeing, Caterpillar, and Toyota plants, and you deserve the same quality. We have these in stock and can ship today. We can customize this basket for you if the sizes are not optimal—we love customizing. We can do this basket in stainless or plain steel, and we can electropolish the stainless steel. We can also nickel or chrome plate, Teflon, nylon, or plastic coat your basket. We can coat the basket in any color, though black is our most common color.
Now check this out: we can even coat it with an anti-microbial coating for inspection control. This will halt MRSA in its tracks. And if you want to customize, we are fast. We typically ship raw baskets in one week. If you need coating, we typically ship it in two or three weeks. If you need it faster, just let us know.
Established in 1968, Marlin Steel Wire has been featured in Fortune, Popular Mechanics, and The Washington Post. In the last several months, we have exported our baskets and hooks to Canada, Mexico, the UK, Belgium, Japan, New Zealand, and my favorite, Taiwan. How cool is that?
We specialize in shipping fast, high-quality products. We have thousands of baskets and hooks in stock but love customizing for your needs. We make everything here in the USA. Great quality. Please send us an email today or call and we will quote you ASAP.

Whether you want to use one of our existing basket designs or need a custom-engineered basket, Marlin Steel is dedicated to giving you the perfect basket for the job.
