Plastic Crates and Bulk Bins for Sale, New and Used

The range

Every container is shown by what you can measure: footprint, height, wall, deck, doors and condition. Pick the family, then the size.

24x15 Stackable plastic crates Hand-held crates with straight walls that stack full. Parts, produce and line-side picking.
24x15 Stack and nest containers Tapered totes that stack full on bale arms and nest empty, so the return trip takes less room.
21x15 Attached-lid containers Totes with two hinged lid halves that interlock when closed. Distribution and store delivery.
48x45 Collapsible bulk containers Pallet-sized containers whose walls fold onto the base for the empty run. The 48x45 and 48x40 workhorses.
48x40 Bulk bins and pallet boxes One-piece rigid bins on runners or a four-way base. No moving parts, wash down, nest or stack.
48x48 Macro and harvest bins Vented field and harvest bins for growers and packhouses, built for forklifts and stacking in the orchard.

Also: collapsible crates, euro containers, vented produce crates and lids, dividers and dunnage. All container types.

Sizes people ask for

Containers are bought by footprint first. A 48x45 bulk container fills a trailer differently from a 48x40, and a tote on the 600x400 millimetre module will not sit square on a 24x15 rack.

Folded down, the empty trip costs less

A collapsible bulk container earns its price on the way back. ORBIS lists its BulkPak GP4048-34 at 34.1 inches tall standing and 13.5 inches folded, a return ratio of 2.7 to 1: about 90 fit on a 53-foot trailer assembled and 240 collapsed. That is why the automotive supply chain settled on folding 48x45 containers, and why a grower or processor shipping empties hundreds of miles should price a collapsible against a rigid bin before choosing.

New, used or refurbished

Used containers are graded by condition, not age. Grade A looks close to new, B shows normal wear with sound walls and doors, and C works but carries scuffs, repairs or missing labels. On a collapsible, check the latches and drop doors; on a bulk bin, look at the deck and the runners where forks hit.

If a crate will touch food, say so on the form and say what it held before. We ask before we quote, because a used crate's history decides whether it can go into a produce or processing line.
