Which size matters for a Sterilite 1466 tote?

Sterilite lists model 1466 exterior dimensions as 30 1/2 in long, 20 5/8 in wide and 15 1/4 in high.

Use exterior measurements, not the 27-gallon capacity or smaller inside dimensions. Compare both upright orientations with your narrowest clear opening, then measure the actual tote, lid and handles.

This example does not prefill or certify a fit. Tapered sides and lid overhang need a physical check. Do not tick the calculator’s rigid rectangular geometry confirmation unless your actual tote and opening satisfy it.

1. Measure the shelf opening

Use the narrowest unobstructed width, depth, and height from the front opening to the final stored position. Include doors, posts, lips, braces, and anything else the tote must pass.

Clear inside width at the tightest point.

Usable depth after doors, rails, or rear obstructions.

Clear height available for one upright tote.

Count only levels that have been measured or verified.

2. Measure the tote

Measure the outside of the actual tote, including the lid, handles, wheels, lips, and any other protrusion.

3. Add optional clearance

These values reserve space around the outside edges of the shelf opening. They do not create gaps between neighbouring totes.
