This 12-pack of CP 20" x 15" x 7" brown polypropylene bus tubs with covers is a workhorse option for Canadian kitchens.

CP 20" x 15" x 7" Brown Polypropylene Bus Tub with Cover (12-Pack) - Efficient Bus and Storage Solution — Professional Grade for Canadian Food Service

These tubs are made from thick polypropylene that holds up to the daily abuse of a commercial kitchen. The polyethylene covers keep contents clean and contained during transport or freezer storage, which matters when you're moving prepped ingredients between stations. Consistent quality means your workflow stays predictable, even when the tubs are loaded with heavy dinnerware.

Stocked by ChickenPieces.com at our Calgary distribution hub. Delivered Canada-wide — all 10 provinces and 3 territories — in 2-5 business days.

Industry Insider Tip: Stack these with the lids on when they're full — that spreads the weight evenly and stops the tubs from warping. And don't drag them across rough concrete; that'll shave years off their life.

Jamie's Take · Senior Operator @ ChickenPieces

"I've seen customers put these CP bus tubs through hell. One catering outfit in Vancouver ran 50 of them at an outdoor event last summer. The reinforced handles and stackable design made setup and breakdown fast, even when they were loaded with heavy dinnerware. They told me the covers kept everything secure between venues — saved them a lot of headaches on the road."

In a Canadian food service operation, reliable utility gear is the difference between a smooth shift and a mess. These CP bus tubs aren't just containers — they're the backbone of kitchen workflow, cleanup, and hygiene. Their uniform size fits standard commercial racks and shelving, so you can use them for dry storage, collecting linens, or anything in between.

Quality & specifications

These tubs are made from commercial-grade polypropylene — it's impact-resistant and holds up in high-volume kitchens. The textured exterior cuts down on scratches and gives you a better grip. The polyethylene lids fit snugly to keep contents sealed. Each tub is 20 inches long, 15 inches wide, and 7 inches deep, which gives you solid capacity without taking up too much shelf space.

Professional applications

Use these for bussing dinnerware in a high-traffic restaurant, especially during peak hours. They're also good for organizing dry storage in the back of house — keeping ingredients or supplies contained. A lot of operators use them to move prepped ingredients between stations, collect soiled linens, or store batch-cooked items in the freezer. If you're running catering events off-site, these are essential for packing and transporting supplies.

Storage & handling

These tubs are freezer-safe — no cracking or brittleness in sub-zero temps. They stack with or without lids, so you can save space in storage. To keep them going, clean and dry them before stacking. When they're full, use the lids and stack evenly to prevent warping. Follow the manufacturer's plastic-care guidelines and they'll last.

Frequently asked questions

How to store CP 20" x 15" x 7" Brown for maximum shelf life?+
Store them clean and dry. Nest empty tubs without lids to save space. When they're full, use the lids and stack evenly so they don't warp from uneven weight. The polypropylene is durable, but keep them out of direct sunlight when not in use — UV degrades plastics over time. Clean them thoroughly before stacking to prevent residue buildup. They're freezer-safe, so you can put them straight into cold storage without worrying about the material.
Is CP 20" x 15" x 7" Brown compatible with standard commercial machines?+
These tubs are designed for manual bussing, storage, and transport — not direct integration with conveyor dishwashers or automated machines. The polypropylene can handle high-temp commercial washing cycles, but the dimensions are meant for hand-loading and off-loading. They'll fit standard commercial sinks for manual washing. If you've got automated gear, check your machine's clearances and loading requirements. Most operators use these for collecting and staging soiled items before machine processing.
What materials is CP 20" x 15" x 7" Brown made of?+
The tub is made from polypropylene — it's tough, impact-resistant, and handles the abuse of a commercial kitchen. The lid is polyethylene, which gives you a secure fit and adds to the protection. Both materials are freezer-safe and easy to clean, which is critical for maintaining hygiene and efficiency.
How to maintain CP 20" x 15" x 7" Brown for long-term use?+
Wash them with hot, soapy water and a brush, or run them through a commercial dishwasher. Make sure all food debris is off the textured surfaces. Check the handles and body regularly for cracks or stress, especially if they're carrying heavy loads often. Stack them nested when empty or covered when full to prevent warping. Skip harsh abrasive cleaners and sharp tools — they'll scratch and weaken the plastic.
What are the exact dimensions and typical weight of the CP 20" x 15" x 7" Brown Bus Tub?+
The tub measures exactly 20 inches long, 15 inches wide, and 7 inches deep. That size fits standard shelving, undercounter spaces, and transport carts used in Canadian commercial kitchens. The polypropylene construction keeps them light enough for staff to handle easily, even when loaded with heavy dinnerware. We don't list the individual tub weight, but they're manageable for one person to carry.
How long can I expect these CP polypropylene bus tubs to last under typical commercial use?+
Under typical commercial use — daily bussing, storage, frequent cleaning — these tubs are built to last. The polypropylene and reinforced handles resist impacts and everyday wear. Avoid extreme impacts, abrasive cleaning materials, and prolonged direct sunlight when not in use, and you'll get several years of reliable service before you need to replace them.
What is the recommended cleaning and maintenance procedure for the CP 20" x 15" x 7" Brown Bus Tubs?+
Wash them with hot, soapy water and a brush, or run them through a commercial dishwasher. The polypropylene resists most commercial sanitizers. Make sure you get all food residues off the textured exterior — that's where bacteria can hide. Let them air dry completely before stacking to avoid moisture buildup and odours. Standard kitchen hygiene practices apply.
Are these CP bus tubs truly freezer-safe for long-term food storage?+
Yes, these are designed to be freezer-safe. The polypropylene keeps its structure and flexibility in sub-zero temperatures — no cracking or brittleness like you'd get with cheaper plastics. That means you can batch-prep ingredients or store finished dishes without worrying about the container failing. The polyethylene covers also protect against freezer burn and contamination, which helps with inventory management.
How does the 12-pack format benefit a commercial operation?+
A 12-pack gives you enough tubs for bussing, prep, and storage across multiple stations or during large events. Buying in bulk cuts down on reordering and keeps your equipment consistent. It's a good fit for new restaurant openings, expanding catering companies, or any operation that needs to hit the ground running.
Can these bus tubs be used for transporting dishes and supplies off-site?+
Absolutely. The polypropylene construction handles the bumps of transit, and the lids keep everything from spilling or getting contaminated. The reinforced handles make carrying heavy loads easier, and the stackable design saves space in delivery vehicles. A lot of Canadian caterers use similar tubs to streamline logistics between their commissary kitchen and event locations.
