💪 Why Choose AUTORCE Open Front Industrial Crates?

🚪 Open Front Design – Quick Access
The innovative open-front design revolutionises warehouse efficiency by allowing instant access to stored items without removing the crate from shelving. Perfect for high-frequency picking operations, the front opening enables you to grab what you need in seconds, dramatically reducing picking time and improving productivity in busy warehouse environments.

🏗️ Heavy-Duty Euro Standard Construction
Engineered to Euro standard dimensions (400x600mm footprint), these crates integrate seamlessly with European pallet systems and standard industrial racking. The reinforced walls, corner supports, and robust base structure ensure structural integrity even when fully loaded to 25kg capacity, preventing warping or cracking under pressure.

📦 Intelligent Stackable Design
Purpose-designed stacking ribs and recessed base ensure secure, stable stacking up to 2 metres high when loaded. The interlocking design prevents shifting during transport while protecting products underneath from crushing. Maximise your vertical storage space without compromising safety or accessibility.

♻️ Sustainable & Durable
Made from 100% recyclable premium-grade PPC material that withstands years of industrial use. The chemical-resistant construction handles exposure to oils, solvents, and cleaning agents commonly found in workshops and warehouses. At end of life, these crates can be fully recycled, supporting your sustainability goals.

💼 Professional Grey Finish
The neutral grey colour maintains a professional appearance in customer-facing environments while hiding minor scuffs and marks from daily use. Ideal for retail stockrooms, warehouse picking areas, delivery vehicles, and workshop storage.

🎯 Perfect Applications For 66L Open Front Crates:

Warehouse Order Picking & Fulfilment

🔧 Key Features & Benefits:

Open Front Access Design
The front opening measures approximately 340mm wide x 280mm high, providing generous access to stored items. The smooth, rounded edges prevent snagging on products during retrieval. This design feature alone can reduce picking time by 30-40% in high-volume operations.

Reinforced Base & Wall Structure
Heavy-duty base with integrated support ribs distributes the 25kg load evenly, preventing sagging when fully loaded. Reinforced corner posts and wall ribbing provide exceptional strength. The raised base design allows forklift and pallet truck access for efficient handling in warehouse environments.

Euro Standard Compatibility
The 398 x 596mm external dimensions conform to Euro standard sizing, ensuring perfect compatibility with:- European pallets (800x1200mm and 1000x1200mm)- Standard industrial racking systems- Automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS)- Conveyor systems and material handling equipment

Ergonomic Handling
Integrated hand grips on both sides make manual handling comfortable and safe. The 2.86kg weight is light enough for easy lifting when empty, yet the robust construction handles 25kg loads securely. Smooth exterior walls and rounded corners prevent injuries during handling.

Temperature Resistant
Operates reliably in temperatures from -20°C to +60°C, making these crates suitable for cold storage facilities, outdoor use, heated production environments, and everything in between. The material won't become brittle in cold or warp in heat.

Easy Cleaning & Maintenance
Non-porous surface resists staining and odour absorption. Simply wipe clean with standard cleaning solutions or wash with pressure washers for deep cleaning. The open-front design makes interior cleaning easier than fully enclosed crates. The material won't crack or become brittle with repeated washing.

Space-Efficient Nesting
When empty, crates nest inside each other, reducing storage space by up to 70%. Perfect for businesses with fluctuating storage needs or limited space for empty container storage. The open front design still allows efficient nesting.

Long Service Life
Impact-resistant PPC material withstands drops, knocks, and rough handling without cracking. Typical service life of 7-12 years in commercial environments, providing excellent return on investment. The heavier-gauge construction (2.86kg) ensures longevity even in demanding applications.

Chemical & Oil Resistant
The PPC material resists degradation from exposure to common industrial chemicals, oils, greases, and solvents. Perfect for automotive, manufacturing, and industrial environments where chemical exposure is common.

Q: What are the advantages of the open front design?
A: The open front design provides instant access to stored items without removing the crate from shelving, reducing picking time by 30-40%. It's perfect for high-frequency picking operations, allows easy visual inventory checks, and improves workflow efficiency in warehouses, workshops, and retail environments.

Q: Are these Euro standard size?
A: Yes! These crates conform to Euro standard dimensions with a 400x600mm footprint (398x596mm external). This ensures perfect compatibility with European pallets, standard industrial racking systems, and automated material handling equipment used throughout the UK and Europe.

Q: How many crates can I safely stack when loaded?

Q: Will items fall out of the front opening?
A: No. The front opening is positioned and sized to allow easy access while retaining contents securely. The opening height is approximately 280mm, leaving a substantial lip at the bottom to prevent items from sliding out during normal handling and stacking.

Q: Can these crates be used outdoors?
A: Absolutely! The PPC material is UV-resistant and weather-resistant, making it suitable for outdoor use. They operate reliably in temperatures from -20°C to +60°C, so they'll withstand British weather conditions year-round without degradation.

Q: How do I clean these crates?
A: Simply wipe with a damp cloth and standard cleaning solution for light cleaning. For deep cleaning, they can be pressure-washed or submerged in sanitising solutions. The open-front design actually makes interior cleaning easier than fully enclosed crates. The non-porous surface resists staining and won't absorb odours.

Q: Do they nest when empty to save space?
A: Yes! When empty, these crates nest inside each other, reducing storage space by approximately 70%. This is perfect if you have seasonal storage needs or limited space for empty containers. The open front design still allows efficient nesting.

Q: What's the difference between internal and external dimensions?
A: External dimensions (398 x 596 x 340mm) are the overall size, including the walls, important for calculating shelf space and pallet compatibility. Internal dimensions (364 x 562 x 328mm) show the actual usable storage space inside the crate.

Q: Are they compatible with standard pallet racking systems?
A: Yes! The Euro standard footprint (400x600mm) makes them perfectly compatible with standard industrial pallet racking systems. The raised base design also allows forklift and pallet truck access for efficient handling. Two crates fit perfectly across a standard 800mm wide pallet.

Q: Are they strong enough for heavy automotive parts or tools?

🎯 Efficiency Benefits of Open Front Design:

Faster Picking Operations:
Traditional closed crates require removal from shelving to access contents. Open front crates eliminate this step, reducing picking time by 30-40% in high-volume operations. This translates to significant labour cost savings in busy warehouses.

Improved Inventory Visibility:
See contents at a glance without opening or moving crates. This speeds up stock checks, improves inventory accuracy, and helps identify low-stock situations before they become critical.

Better Ergonomics:
Reduce repetitive strain injuries by eliminating the need to lift heavy crates off shelves. Workers can reach in and grab items, reducing physical strain and improving workplace safety.

Enhanced FIFO Management:
The open front design makes it easier to implement First-In-First-Out stock rotation. Simply load from the back and pick from the front, ensuring older stock is used first.
