Australian Standard fruit & vegetable crates: The Ultimate Efficiency

In the Australian logistics and agricultural landscape, consistency is key. Our range of Folding Vented Australian Crates is specifically engineered to fit the standard Australian pallet (1165x1165mm) footprint, ensuring maximum stability and space utilization from the farm to the supermarket shelf.

Why buy these folding fruit & vegetable crates?

These new crates are vented (ventilated or perforated) to keep your produce dry and cool, so they’ll keep longer.

You will find them strong and easily stackable to save floor space. They are made of smooth plastic material to keep your veggies in good shape for the market.

Here is a summary of what you get:

• Ideal vented crates for Australian agriculture, returnable packaging, distribution and manufacturing
• Uniquely suited for the Australian market by fitting onto Australian Standard pallets
• The ideal plastic crate for food, fruits and vegetable distribution, including asparagus, avocado, date, endive, fennel, grape, leek, mango and pepper
• Ergonomic handles
• Card holders on all sides
• Folding/collapsible – easy to fold and erect
• Vented – enhanced air-flow cooling
• Strong and durable – high weight to load ratio and excellent load stability
• Cross stacking or column stacking – engineered with a specialised base and rim design, these crates support secure cross stacking, preventing load shifts during long-haul transport across the Nullarbor or through regional routes
• Can be used with automated crate-erecting (assembly) equipment
• Excellent space saving and return transport ratio: up to 6.2:1. When empty, these crates fold down to a fraction of their height. This allows you to fit up to 4–5 times more empty crates on a return truck, drastically reducing transport costs and your carbon footprint.

Industry Applications

🚜 Agriculture & Farming

The vented design is a “must-have” for the cold chain. By allowing air to circulate through the stack, field heat is removed faster, reducing “sweating” and preventing the growth of mould and bacteria.

🔧 Automotive & Manufacturing

These crates aren’t just for food. Their heavy-duty Polypropylene (PP) construction makes them ideal for the “Lean Manufacturing” of auto parts. The folding feature ensures that empty bins don’t take up valuable warehouse floor space.

🛒 Supermarket & Retail

The standardized dimensions make these crates “Retail Ready.” They can go straight from the delivery truck to the display floor, reducing handling time and minimizing the need for disposable cardboard packaging.

Sustainability & Durability

Unlike single-use waxed cartons, these plastic crates are built for a service life of 7 to 10 years.

100% Recyclable: At the end of their long life, they can be fully recycled into new plastic products.

Hygienic: The non-porous plastic is easy to sanitize, meeting strict HACCP food safety requirements.

UV Stabilized: Designed to withstand the harsh Australian sun without becoming brittle.
