💡 Why Grey Works
The Universal Choice
Grey doesn't play favourites. It's the go-to colour when you need flexible, general-purpose storage that works anywhere. No department designation, no product-specific coding – just reliable containers that blend into any environment from pristine offices to gritty workshops. The neutral tone means these crates never look out of place.
Compact Efficiency
Twenty litres is the Goldilocks size – not too big to handle comfortably, not too small to be useful. At just 1.08kg empty, you can carry several at once without strain. Fill one to the 15kg maximum and it's still manageable for one person. The compact footprint means more crates fit on your shelving compared to bulkier alternatives.
Stacks Without Fuss
The rim design locks containers together when stacked, preventing the annoying slide-and-shift that happens with cheaper crates. Build stable towers that won't collapse when someone brushes past. The reinforced corners handle the compression load, whilst the ribbed base distributes weight evenly.
Outlasts the Competition
Industrial-grade polypropylene laughs at the knocks and drops that destroy flimsier containers. Temperature swings from freezer to heated areas? No problem. Exposure to workshop chemicals? Shrugs it off. These crates are built for the long haul – expect 5-10 years of daily service before considering replacement.
🏭 Where They Shine
Mixed Inventory Warehousing
When you're storing diverse products that don't need colour-coding, grey is your friend. Use these for general stock, overflow inventory, or items that move between departments. The neutral appearance maintains a tidy, professional warehouse aesthetic.
Workshop Storage
Organise tools, consumables, and spare parts without the visual clutter of multiple colours. Grey containers keep workshops looking professional whilst providing practical storage. The chemical-resistant material handles the inevitable spills and splashes.
Retail Operations
Back-of-house storage that looks appropriate if containers need to venture onto the shop floor temporarily. The compact size fits narrow stockroom aisles, whilst the neutral colour doesn't clash with your brand aesthetics.
Office Environments
Store stationery, documents, and supplies without the industrial look of bright colours. Grey containers suit professional office settings whilst providing the durability of industrial-grade storage.
Home & Garage
Organise DIY supplies, seasonal items, and household goods. The professional appearance suits home environments better than garish colours, whilst the robust construction handles garage conditions.
General Manufacturing
Position at workstations for component storage. The enclosed design keeps parts clean and contained, whilst the neutral colour doesn't distract workers or interfere with safety colour-coding systems.
