Fresh fruit needs to be stored and transported properly to keep it fresh and intact. If fresh fruit is not packaged right, then it can easily spoil, become contaminated and the overall quality can be reduced significantly. As well as this, fruit can become unsafe to consume, so it cannot be sold to the end-user. This is why storing various fruits in a fruit crate is essential to maintain quality and safety throughout every step of the logistics operations.

Plastic Harvest Crates
Our plastic harvest fruit crates are a simple and easy-to-use solution that is commonly used in retail, logistics and food manufacturing in the UK. This is because they have the ability to neatly stack on top of each other to save space in storage and transportation. These solutions allow you to pack in fresh produce or make room for other goods alongside soft fruits, making the most of every inch of available space.
We have also designed these crates to give exceptional ventilation to keep fresh fruit and vegetables in pristine condition. This means that you don’t have to worry about spoilage during the handling, storing and transporting process. These crates are made with a lightweight yet durable material that is extremely versatile and strong. They are also very easy to clean and can dry super quickly, so you can wash them thoroughly after each use and instantly use them again.
Fruit Containers
We also stock a variety of fruit containers that have a durable and sturdy construction that provides a long lifespan. These are designed to offer robust protection for a range of soft fruits. They have smooth internal walls to protect them from damage during handling and transporting. This type of crate is one of the best options for storing and transporting fresh produce because they are tightly sealed to keep goods in pristine condition. You can find 20.5 and 30 litre solutions to suit your needs.
Raspberry Picking Trays
If you deal with smaller fruits, like raspberries, cherries, strawberries and blueberries, our raspberry picking trays can be just the thing you need for smoother operations. These fruit crates are one of the most lightweight solutions you can get, but this doesn’t mean they’re fragile. They have incredible durability and can withstand all types of environments without breaking. What’s more is that they’re also stackable to save 50% of space when empty, making the most out of your storage and transportation processes.
Collapsible Harvest Crates
Our collapsible harvest crates are the strongest, cleanest and most space-saving options on the market. We have designed these to provide you with the lowest profile in the world, which is achieved by air-assisted injection moulding. They have been CAE tested and certified as the strongest crates you can get, as well as having top ventilation! This means you can truly rely on this type of fruit crate to protect, store and transport fresh fruit over and over again. It doesn’t stop there either as they can collapse easily when not in use to make room for other goods in a load or storage space!
Stacking and Nesting Fruit Containers
Within our fruit crate collection, we have our trusted stacking and nesting containers that are taking the UK soft fruit industry by storm. These crates boast a design with innovative features that set them apart from anything else available on the market. We have created these crates with sturdy safety rails to allow them to slide on and off the stack. This makes them very easy to use and much safer for handlers to manoeuvre, preventing injuries because they don’t require reaching and lifting. The plastic we’ve used for these fruit crates is suitable for freezing, so that you can store freezable produce in them. They can withstand sub-zero temperatures without breaking, giving you a long lifespan no matter how many times they’ve been frozen!
