Advantages
Durability
The commonly used plastic for commercial and industrial use drawers is high-density polyethene that is a durable and impact-resistant polymer, so you don’t have to worry about being damaged in harsh environments if you fall out of certain height or by the same weight they load. Although you should avoid overloading them, especially when they are stacked on top of each other, since in those cases the drawer placed in the lower part may break due to excess weight.
Resistance
Models with a thicker plastic box (กล่อง พลาสติก, which is the term in Thai) design usually have similar strengths to some metals and hardwoods, although they are usually more expensive. Therefore, before acquiring one design or another, first consider the use that will be given to drawers to calculate the loads it will contain and the necessary strength for your needs.
