Collapsible Plastic Crate Moving Container: Overview
The collapsible plastic crate moving container is a reusable storage and transport solution designed for agriculture, supermarkets, food distribution, warehousing, and logistics operations. With external dimensions of 600 × 400 × 220 mm, this ventilated plastic crate provides practical storage capacity while helping businesses improve handling and space utilization.

Different crate designs are available to suit different product dimensions and handling requirements.
Key Features of the 40L Mesh Plastic Foldable Crate
1.Space-Saving Foldable Design
One of the main advantages of this collapsible plastic crate is its ability to fold flat when empty.
With a folded height of only 52 mm, the crate requires significantly less vertical space during storage and return transportation than when fully assembled.
Key benefits include:
- Reduces the storage space required for empty crates
- Helps optimize return transportation
- Makes collection and handling of empty crates easier
- Supports reusable packaging and distribution systems
- Suitable for businesses handling large quantities of returnable containers
This space-saving structure makes the crate a practical choice for supermarkets, agricultural suppliers, distribution centers, and logistics companies.
For produce handling applications that require good ventilation, our vented collapsible plastic crate provides another option for transporting and storing fruits and vegetables in commercial distribution environments.
2. Ventilated Mesh Structure for Fruits and Vegetables
The mesh walls and base allow air to circulate around the contents, making this 40L plastic foldable crate suitable for many fruit and vegetable handling applications.
The ventilated structure helps reduce the accumulation of trapped moisture compared with fully enclosed containers, depending on the product and storage conditions.
Typical applications include:
- Fruit harvesting and collection
- Vegetable transportation
- Supermarket replenishment
- Agricultural distribution
- Produce sorting and handling
- Warehouse storage of ventilated goods
For fresh produce, appropriate temperature, humidity, sanitation, and handling practices remain important for maintaining product quality.
3. Durable PP Plastic Construction
Made from polypropylene (PP), this reusable plastic crate is designed for repeated handling in commercial environments.
Material advantages include:
- Good impact resistance
- Lightweight construction
- Resistance to everyday handling wear
- Easy cleaning and maintenance
- Reusable design for repeated transport cycles
Compared with disposable packaging, reusable plastic crates can help businesses reduce packaging waste and improve long-term packaging efficiency.
4. Stackable Design for Efficient Storage
When fully opened, the crate provides a practical structure for stacking and organizing goods.
The 600 × 400 mm footprint supports efficient arrangement in warehouses, distribution areas, and transportation systems.
Stacking helps businesses make better use of vertical storage space and organize products during handling. Actual stacking performance depends on the load, crate condition, and operating environment.
5. Convenient Handling and Identification
The foldable structure makes the crates easier to collect and store when empty. Customized label cards can also be added to help identify products and organize inventory.
Optional identification solutions may include:
- Product information
- Barcode labels
- Batch numbers
- Inventory codes
- Customer or company identification
These options are useful for businesses managing reusable crates across multiple warehouses, stores, and distribution locations.
