Benefits of Ventilated Euro-Stacking Containers
Explore some of the benefits of our ventilated plastic containers.
Strong, Robust Design
Our robust stacking crates are German-manufactured from food-safe, high-density polyethylene (HDPE).
They are engineered to handle the demands of real-world operations, whether you're moving fresh seafood from dock to market, transporting stock from farm to distribution centre, or restocking shelves in a grocery store.
Some of the stand-out design features include:
Reinforced construction: Reinforced bases, corners and walls for increased safety and structural integrity when transporting heavy loads.
Integrated stability: Strong, ventilated sidewalls work together with the reinforced base to prevent flexing and maintain shape under pressure.
Serious load capacity: Stack them high with confidence. These crates won't buckle, deform, or collapse, even when used day after day.
Ergonomic handles: Built-in hand holes make lifting and carrying easier, reducing strain during transit or stock adjustments.
Quality Material
Our German manufacturer uses virgin recyclable plastic, a heavy-duty food-grade polyethylene, to make these crates. This isn't just about checking a box; the choice of material directly impacts how these crates perform in day-to-day operations:
Food-safe confidence: Store fresh vegetables, raw proteins or packaged items knowing your containers meet health and safety standards.
Extreme temperature resistance: These ventilated euro stacking containers can withstand temperatures ranging from -40°C up to +80°C. You can use these heat-resistant boxes at warm loading docks or outdoor harvest operations, as well as in walk-in freezers and refrigerated trucks.
Serious strength: The high-grade polyethylene gives these crates excellent load-bearing capacity.
You can use one set of ventilated Euro containers across your entire operation, from cold storage to transport to the sales floor.
Temperature Regulation
The wide-ventilated design facilitates maximum airflow. It helps maintain stable temperatures for perishable contents and prevents condensation that could affect the quality or longevity of your products.
The vents in the walls and base do double duty, keeping contents fresh with proper air flow and allowing water and debris to drain away.
Reduced Shipping Weight
While the material is already lightweight, these plastic containers’ ventilated design make them even lighter without reducing their durability. This lowers transport costs and eases workers' handling.
Euro Standardisation
Due to their Euro-standard dimensions, you can stack your plastic crates with other Euro-collection containers, including those with a solid base and walls. This helps to optimise storage space.
Easy Identification & Branding
The ventilated sides include solid integrated labelling areas for clear, permanent or temporary marking, making inventory management easy and efficient.
We offer an in-house branding service, with a choice between:
Thermal transfer printing: Fade-resistant branding ideal for ventilated crates. Often used for food distribution, bakery transport or chilled storage environments.
Vinyl printed labels: Removable and practical for use as baked goods crates. Add ingredient labels for short-term storage in commercial kitchens and bakeries.
Enhanced Hygiene
Easily cleaned with dishwashing liquid, our ventilated storage crates are convenient for daily use. Their smooth, non-porous surface prevents bacterial growth and contamination in the catering sector.
Features of Our Ventilated Euro Containers
Here is what you can expect from our ventilated storage bins.
Various Sizes
Our ventilated storage crates form part of our stackable storage container collection and come in many height ranges.
Select from various sizes ranging from shallow 15-litre stackable crates to deeper 80-litre Euro containers.
Tall ventilated Euro containers, like our 55 or 61-litre crates, are used in agriculture for harvesting and transportation. These ventilated Euro containers are also ideal for storing outdoor sports equipment, such as mountain climbing and hiking kits.
For mid-capacity storage needs, 38 and 42-litre containers provide a balanced solution. They are commonly used in warehousing and retail for organising stock.
Low-profile varieties, such as the 23 or 26-litre crates, are well-suited for manufacturing and engineering. They can store parts that need ventilation to prevent moisture buildup.
To demonstrate their versatility, shallow crates are also essential in the bakery and catering sectors to:
Help transport and store bread, pastries and fresh products.
Maintain consistent airflow for quality assurance.
Cool products straight from the oven.
Crate Accessories
We offer various accessories and components for our ventilated Euro containers available online.
Antibacterial net underlay: The antibacterial net underlay enhances airflow around stored items and promotes faster drying. The net inhibits bacterial growth, making it perfect for food use. Place the clear rubber net inside ventilated boxes to create a non-slip surface for glassware and crockery. This keeps fragile items from slipping and breaking.
Place-on lids: These place-on lids are sized to perfectly fit full Euro stacking crates. Lids prevent stock from falling out or being tampered with during transportation and storage. They are suitable for sensitive contents like antique homeware in warehousing and logistics.
Trolleys: Shift stackable storage crates with ease using our transport trolleys. We stock two varieties: a heavy-duty version with brakes and a standard trolley. The brakes of the heavy-duty version provide added stability when transporting stacked crates, preventing unwanted movement during loading and unloading.
