Stack and Nest Plastic Crate with Mesh Design – 180° Rotating Space-Saving Container

Reusable Plastic Stack and Nest Crate for Efficient Storage and Returnable Logistics

The Stack and Nest Plastic Crate from FIRST is designed for businesses that need practical, reusable containers for storage, product handling, distribution, and return logistics. Featuring a ventilated mesh structure and a 180° rotating stack-and-nest design, this crate can be stacked when loaded and nested when empty to help reduce storage requirements and improve space utilization during return transport.

Manufactured from polypropylene (PP), this reusable plastic crate combines a lightweight structure with practical load-bearing performance for everyday commercial and industrial handling. Its mesh walls support airflow around stored products, making it suitable for applications where ventilation and visibility are important.

With outer dimensions of 510 × 370 × 205 mm, an individual load capacity of 15 kg, and a stacking capacity of 60 kg, this crate offers a practical solution for businesses seeking to optimize container handling and empty-crate storage.

180° Rotating Stack and Nest Design

One of the main advantages of this plastic crate is its 180° rotation-based stacking and nesting design. By rotating the crate 180°, users can switch between the appropriate stacking and nesting positions according to their operational needs.

• Stacking mode: Helps organize loaded crates vertically for storage and handling.

• Nesting mode: Allows empty crates to fit into one another, reducing the space required for storage and return transport.

• 80 mm nested height: Provides a compact nested configuration for more efficient empty-crate management.

This design is particularly useful for distribution networks, warehouses, agricultural operations, and businesses that regularly transport reusable containers between facilities.

Mesh Structure for Ventilation and Product Handling

The mesh design provides openings along the crate walls to support air circulation around the contents. Compared with fully solid-sided containers, a ventilated crate can be a practical option for handling products that benefit from airflow during storage and distribution.

Potential applications include fresh produce handling, agricultural collection, warehouse sorting, and general-purpose material handling. Actual suitability depends on the dimensions, weight, and protection requirements of the products being carried.

The open structure also makes it easier to visually identify contents during routine handling, helping operators distinguish between different product batches or container uses.

Durable PP Material for Reusable Operations

Made from polypropylene (PP), this stack and nest crate is intended for repeated handling in commercial and industrial environments. Its reusable design provides an alternative to single-use packaging where containers are regularly collected, returned, and reused.

With a specified load capacity of 15 kg and stacking capacity of 60 kg, the crate is suitable for light- to medium-duty handling applications within its rated limits. For safe operation, stacking loads should be distributed appropriately, and the crates should be used on stable surfaces under suitable working conditions.
