Brass bin for Forster co-ax

I have found that when doing brass prep with the co-ax it is quite easy to just flip the brass right out of the front of the press.

Does anyone make or has anyone found a way to have a bin or plastic tub directly underneath to kick the brass into, that is also removable or can be placed out-of-the-way when not use? Right now I just use a cardboard box on the floor, but if it’s possible I would like to avoid the 4 foot drop.

I’ve looked at the in-line fabrication one and I’m not sure if it would fit what I’m looking for. My press is currently mounted with an in-line fabrication quick change
 
I use the APP press if I want to go quickly and consistent dwell time in my sizing die isn't important. Then it can just drop in a bin without worry. My brass I size for accuracy, I tend to not want to blaze through it as fast as possible, tending to focus and take care, then to ensure I have equal 360 neck tension, try not to toss or throw it into bulk containers.

Enjoy your hobby, take time to give each step the prep and attention they need. My Co-Ax does all my bottle neck, the APP or Dillon will do bulk pistol or final neck size on my bottle necks.

I am looking at my Co-Ax and not entirely sure where you'd hook up something like that, maybe a strong mount and then a 30cal plastic ammo can attached to the table top surface? I have the short throw handle on mine and it might work, it's just hard with having all the press movement inline with what you're wanting. I think with some zip ties and ingenuity you might be able to make something work for you!

I've also done a lot of resizing with my Co-ax.
Are you already removing the case from the co-ax with your right hand while, at the same time, placing the next case with your left hand then picking up the next case with your left hand while operating the handle?
I've got the sized brass case just to the right of the press. Since my right hand has to leave the press to remove the sized case, it wouldn't speed up the process much if my right hand dropped the sized case off the front of the press vs putting the case in a bin to the right - especially because my left hand needs time to place the next case in the press.
