Uses of Nestable Plastic Crates
Nestable plastic crates are plastic containers used in nearly every industrial, logistical, and commercial sector for storing, handling, and transporting goods. They are particularly appreciated in the agricultural and fishing sectors due to their compactness when empty.
Their intelligent design and versatility make them indispensable tools in the field of modern logistics. In this presentation, we will explore the features, benefits, and uses of nestable plastic crates, as well as their environmental impact.
Features
Materials
They are generally made from plastic such as polypropylene (PP) or polyethylene (PE), and increasingly from entirely recycled material. These materials offer resistance to impacts, moisture, and chemicals, ensuring the durability of the crates.
This resistance also facilitates cleaning and maintenance operations. They can be washed, disinfected, and reused hygienically.
Nestable Design
Nestable plastic crates are designed to nest within each other when empty, with a nesting rate of 50 to 80%. This allows for a considerable space saving during storage or empty transport.
Ergonomic Handles
Most nestable plastic crates are equipped with ergonomic handles to facilitate handling and transportation. These handles provide a comfortable and secure grip, thereby reducing the risk of injuries for workers.
