Since we first started offering our crate hire service, our reusable plastic crates have been used for a wide variety of things, from business relocation through to personal storage. However our plastic crates are not just hired from us, they can also be purchased too – offering you all the benefits of the crates, without the on-going cost of crate hire.
Recently there has been increased in the use reusable plastic crates in many business environments, one of which is within the fresh fruit and vegetable industry. There are a number of reasons for this which include:

• More stable unit loads as the stackable design ensures load stabilisation over long distances, leading to less fruit wastage
• Reduced storage and transportation costs due to the improved stackability of the plastic crates.
• Extended product shelf life as the crates offer protection for sudden temperature increases, pollutants, pests and the weather.
• Plastic exteriors offer durability for regular, frequent use whilst also providing space for barcoded stickers and other labelling.
• Reduced stacking time as many fresh fruit and veg stockists can merely open the lid and present the wares to their customers without the need to handle the fruit further.
