Stack And Nest Crate

Stack And Nest Crate
Details:
Most crates force a choice: a nesting crate that does not stack safely when full, or a stacking crate that sends a truck back almost empty. This one does both. Set it down one way and it stacks high under load; turn it 180 degrees and it drops into the crate below, so a return load of empties travels at a fraction of the height. The 600 × 400 mm footprint is the standard pallet module — four crates per layer on a 1200 × 800 pallet, five on a 1200 × 1000 — so it drops into an existing pallet plan without re-planning anything. At 1.9 kg it is light enough to handle all day, and the load is carried by the ribs moulded into the base and side walls rather than by adding wall thickness. That is how the crate stays this light without going soft at the bottom of a full stack.

Product Features

 

 

  • Material: Typically made from high-impact, durable thermoplastics Polypropylene (PP). These materials offer excellent resistance to impact, moisture, chemicals, and temperature variations, ensuring a long service life.

1)600 × 400 mm - the standard pallet module:

Four per layer on a 1200 × 800 Euro pallet, five per layer on a 1200 × 1000 pallet, with no overhang. Existing racking, trolleys and pallet plans keep working.

19kg

2)Ventilation slots along both long sides:

Air moves through the load, which matters for produce and for anything that comes out of a wash bay. The open slots also let staff see what is in a crate without lifting the one above it.

3)Stacks one way, nests the other:

Turn the crate 180 degrees and the base ribs drop between the ribs of the crate below, so empties nest into a compact column. Turn it back and the corner shoulders land squarely on the crate underneath for a stable stacked load.

4)Ribbed base and side walls carry the load:

The reinforcement runs from the floor ribs up into the side walls, so weight travels through the frame instead of the panel. The crate keeps its shape under a full stack without the extra kilos that uniform thickening would add.

5)Accurate stacking locators:

Yellow positioning blocks on the rim lock layers into alignment, avoid lateral slip during stacking and keep columns stable in transit.

 

Noted:The basket is designed to withstand pressure, making it sturdy, durable, anddrop-resistant.

✨What is a Stack-and-Nest Crate?

 

A stack-and-nest crate (also called a nestable or nesting turnover crate) is a reusable plastic crate with two stacking modes. When full, it stacks upright on top of the next crate, forming a firm column. When empty, it slides down inside another crate (nested state), so empty crates take up very little height. This "stack when full, nest when empty" design is what sets it apart from a regular fixed-height crate.

 

Key Advantages

Saves space when empty:Nested crates use far less floor space and truck volume, cutting return freight and storage cost.

Stacks firmly when loaded:The locking rim and positioning blocks keep full stacks steady and prevent falling over.

Keeps goods fresh:Perforated mesh walls allow air flow, reduce moisture and help produce stay fresh during transport and display.

Durable and cost-saving:Made of tough reusable plastic, it replaces disposable cartons and wooden crates and lasts for years of daily use.

Hygienic and food-safe:Smooth surfaces wash easily; food-grade material is available for fruit, seafood, bakery and meat use.

Easy to sort and manage:Standard 600×400 mm size fits common pallets and carts; different colors help separate categories, and printed labels improve tracking.

Environmentally friendly:Recyclable plastic cuts single-use packaging waste.

FAQ

 

 

Q: How can the same crate stack and nest?

 

A: By rotation. In the stacking position the corner shoulders rest on the crate below. Turned 180 degrees, the ribs on the base sit between the ribs of the crate underneath and the crate nests down. No parts to move, no clips to release - staff turn the crate by hand.

Q:How many fit on a pallet?

 

A: Four per layer on a 1200 × 800 mm Euro pallet and five per layer on a 1200 × 1000 mm pallet, with no overhang in either case. The 600 × 400 footprint is a standard module, so it fits existing pallet plans.

Q: What load does it carry, and how high can it stack?

 

A:The crate is reinforced through the base and side walls, and load transfers through the corner shoulders. Confirmed load and stacking figures for your product are available on request - tell us what you are packing and we will quote against that, rather than against a generic number.

Q: Is it suitable for food, and how is it cleaned?

 

A:Yes. The ventilated sides and the open slot pattern allow washing and fast drainage, and the interior has no sharp corners where product residue collects. Material grade and food-contact documentation can be confirmed for your market on request.

Q: Can we customize color or logo?

 

A: Custom color and logo printing are available upon request.
