Product Overview
An Attached Lid Container is a type of crate or box where the lid is hinged and physically connected to the main body. This design ensures the lid is always available and cannot be lost during use. It provides convenient one-handed operation for opening and closing. These containers are ideal for applications requiring frequent access and secure closure.
Key Features and Advantages
Dynamic Space Saving:
Features a unique angled design that allows empty crates to slide or "nest" partially inside one another, significantly reducing storage volume compared to standard boxes.
Effortless Handling:
Designed with smooth edges and a shape that facilitates easy sliding and separation of nested units, improving handling speed and reducing labor effort.
Secure Product Protection:
Offers a stable structure and full-coverage lid option to protect goods from dust and damage during transit and handling.
Versatile Logistics Solution:
Ideal for the transport and storage of various goods, particularly in industries requiring efficient return logistics and space optimization.

Product Types
Standard Nestable Crate
Features a simple tapered (angled) design allowing empty crates to slide partially inside one another; this reduces storage volume significantly when not in use.
Rackable Nestable Crate
Designed with reinforced edges and a stable base to allow safe stacking of loaded crates; often used in supermarket backrooms or warehouses where floor space is limited.
Nestable Crate with Hinged Lid
Comes with a permanently attached lid (usually snap-lock or hinge-style) that ensures the cover is never lost during transport or nesting, providing full dust and moisture protection.
Nesting Tote Box (with Handle)
Often features integrated handles for easy carrying; these are typically smaller in size and used for parts handling, tool organization, or retail display.
Heavy-Duty Nestable Container
Built with thicker walls and stronger ribs to carry heavier loads (often over 20kg); designed for industrial parts handling and long-term reuse in demanding logistics environments.
Applications

FAQ
Q: What is the main advantage of an attached lid container over a standard box?
A: The primary advantage is space efficiency. When empty, nestable crates can slide or ""nest"" partially inside one another. This reduces the storage or return transportation volume by up to 70% compared to standard boxes, significantly cutting logistics and warehousing costs.
Q: What materials are these crates made from?
A: They are typically injection-molded from Polypropylene (PP) or High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE). PP offers better stiffness and chemical resistance, while HDPE offers higher impact strength and flexibility, especially in cold environments.
Q: Are these crates hygienic and suitable for food use?
A: Yes. Plastic nestable crates have a non-porous surface that does not absorb moisture or bacteria. They are easy to clean and sanitize, making them compliant with food safety standards (often available in Food-Grade certified materials).
Q: Can I use these crates with automated warehouse systems?
A: Absolutely. Due to their consistent dimensions and sturdy construction, they are compatible with automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS), conveyors, and robotic handling equipment. The nesting feature also optimizes empty pallet return automation.
Q: What are the most common standard sizes?
A: Sizes are often designed to fit standard pallets (like 600x400mm or 1200x800mm). Common external dimensions include:
* 600 x 400 x 355 mm
* 600 x 400 x 230 mm
* 600 x 400 x 315 mm
(Note: Internal dimensions are slightly smaller to accommodate the nesting feature)."
Q: Are these crates customizable with logos or specific colors?
A: Yes, customization is very common. Manufacturers often offer color customization (e.g., blue, red, yellow) to suit warehouse color-coding systems. Additionally, crates can usually be printed or have logos molded/engraved directly onto the surface for brand identification.
