Nestable plastic crates are space-saving storage and transport containers designed to nest inside each other when empty, reducing volume by up to 70%. Unlike stackable-only models, these plastic pallet crates are ideal for high-turnover operations where return logistics, storage optimization, and labor efficiency are key. We offer both ventilated nestable plastic crates for airflow-sensitive goods, and solid nestable plastic crates for applications requiring dust and impact protection. All models are built from HDPE/PP for long-term use, compatible with reusable plastic pallets and crates in automated or manual systems.
Our nestable plastic crates nest up to 70% when empty, drastically reducing return trip volume and cutting transport costs in closed-loop supply chains.
Whether you need airflow to maintain product freshness or full enclosure to prevent dust contamination, we manufacture both ventilated and solid nestable plastic crates to match your operational environment.
The crate base and rim structure are reinforced to handle dynamic stacking, even during forklift braking or transit vibration—preventing tilt, shift, or crate deformation.
Whether ventilated or solid, all crate surfaces are engineered with cleanable materials and minimal dirt-trap zones—supporting efficient rinsing, draining, and hygienic turnover in food-grade environments.
We use virgin or blended food-grade PP and HDPE for high impact resistance, chemical tolerance, and consistent long-cycle durability—even in cold storage or humid conditions.
All dimensions conform to plastic pallet crates and dolly standards, ensuring easy integration into your warehouse flow, whether manually handled or on conveyor systems.
Nestable plastic crates are widely adopted across industries that demand space-saving logistics, hygienic handling, and reliable backhaul efficiency. Their intelligent nesting design supports seamless transitions between storage, transport, and point-of-use operations.
