💪 Why Choose AUTORCE Industrial Storage Crates?

🏗️ Heavy-Duty Construction
Engineered from premium-grade polypropylene copolymer (PPC), these industrial crates are built to withstand the rigours of daily warehouse operations. The reinforced base and corner supports ensure structural integrity even when fully loaded, 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.

♻️ Sustainable & Food-Safe
Made from 100% recyclable PPC material with full food-grade certification. Perfect for food production, catering supplies, and pharmaceutical storage. The non-porous surface resists bacterial growth and cleans easily with standard sanitising solutions.

🔵 Professional Blue Finish
The vibrant blue colour provides excellent visual organisation and product segregation in multi-department operations. Ideal for colour-coded inventory systems, HACCP compliance in food environments, and creating distinct storage zones in warehouses and production facilities.

🎯 Perfect Applications For 20L Industrial Crates:

Warehouse & Distribution Centres
Ideal for order picking, goods-in processing, and inventory management. The 20-litre capacity handles small to medium parts, components, and products efficiently. Compact footprint maximises shelf space while the open-top design allows quick visual stock checks.

Retail Stockrooms & Back-of-House
Perfect for organising stock replenishment, managing deliveries, and storing merchandise. The stackable design makes efficient use of limited stockroom space, while the durable construction withstands constant handling during busy trading periods.

Food Production & Catering
Food-grade certification makes these crates suitable for storing ingredients, prepared foods, and kitchen supplies. The blue colour is particularly popular in food environments for raw material storage. Easy to clean and sanitise, they meet hygiene standards for commercial kitchens, bakeries, and food manufacturing facilities.

Manufacturing & Assembly Lines
Excellent for work-in-progress storage, component organisation, and finished goods handling. The reinforced structure protects parts during production processes, while the standardised size integrates seamlessly with existing racking systems. Blue colour helps identify specific production stages or departments.

Automotive Workshops & Garages
Store spare parts, tools, and consumables efficiently. The chemical-resistant PPC material withstands exposure to oils, greases, and cleaning solvents commonly found in automotive environments. Blue colour provides a professional appearance and easy identification.

E-commerce Fulfilment & Logistics
Streamline your picking and packing operations with these versatile storage crates. Perfect for batch picking, order consolidation, and returns processing. The lightweight design reduces handler fatigue during high-volume periods, while the distinctive blue colour aids in workflow organisation.

Healthcare & Pharmaceutical Storage
Food-grade material meets stringent hygiene requirements for medical supplies, pharmaceutical products, and laboratory equipment. Easy to sterilise and maintain in clinical environments. Blue colour is ideal for non-contaminated or general medical supplies in colour-coded systems.

Agriculture & Horticulture

🔧 Key Features & Benefits:

Reinforced Base Structure
Heavy-duty base with integrated support ribs distributes weight evenly, preventing sagging when loaded. The raised base design allows forklift and pallet truck access for efficient handling in warehouse environments.

Ergonomic Handling
Smooth exterior walls and rounded corners make manual handling comfortable and safe. The lightweight 1.08kg construction reduces strain during repetitive lifting, while the 15kg load capacity handles substantial payloads.

Temperature Resistant
Operates reliably in temperatures from -20°C to +60°C, making these crates suitable for cold storage facilities, outdoor use, and heated production environments without material degradation.

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 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 75%. Perfect for businesses with fluctuating storage needs or limited space for empty container storage.

Long Service Life
Impact-resistant PPC material withstands drops, knocks, and rough handling without cracking. Typical service life of 5-10 years in commercial environments, providing excellent return on investment.

Colour-Coded Organisation
The distinctive blue colour enables effective visual management systems. Use different coloured crates to separate departments, product categories, or workflow stages, improving efficiency and reducing picking errors.

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.

Q: How do I clean these crates?
