We supply a wide range of storage solutions to help businesses across the UK work more efficiently. One versatile and cost‑effective option we offer is our range of Stack Nest Crates.
These crates are designed to support both storage and transport needs by combining two key behaviours, they stack securely when in use and nest inside each other when empty. This dual function delivers major space savings and operational flexibility for businesses handling anything from small parts to larger goods.
Our stack nest crates are ideal for companies looking to streamline logistics, reduce storage costs and improve warehouse organisation. They are widely available in popular industrial sizes, including the 400x300mm and 600x400mm euro formats, and in a variety of heights to suit different load types.
What Makes These Crates Special?
Stack nest crates are a hybrid storage solution. They behave like traditional stacking crates when full, providing rigid support and easy handling, whether placed on shelves, pallets or dollies.
When not in use, they nest into each other, taking up far less space than standard crates. This is particularly valuable during return logistics when goods are delivered out, and empty crates come back to base.
Key attributes of our stack nest crates include:
- Ergonomic handles for easy grip and improved manual handling, making them suitable for a wide range of environments.
- Flexible size options — with euro format and varied heights to match diverse operational needs.
- Space‑saving design — nesting capability helps reduce storage footprint and returns freight volume.
- Compatibility with handling equipment such as our dollies, which further improves transportation efficiency around the workplace.
Typical Applications
Stack nest crates are used across industries where storage space and efficient movement of goods are priorities:
- Warehouse and Distribution Centres – for storing stock and organising fulfilment processes.
- Light Industrial Use – ideal for parts storage, tool handling and batching operations.
- Return Logistics – their nesting ability reduces empty return volume and associated carriage costs.
- Retail and FMCG Environments – versatile for back‑of‑store storage or delivery crates.
The combination of stacking and nesting behaviours distinguishes these crates from single‑purpose containers, making them a cost‑effective storage solution for businesses of all sizes.
Supporting Your Workflow
Stack nest crates can be integrated into broader material handling systems. For example, pairing them with dollies enables swift movement of multiple crates at once, enhancing picking, packing and dispatch tasks.
Choosing the right stack nest crate size and configuration can help reduce labour time, improve space usage and lower transport costs, all while maintaining a tidy and efficient storage environment.
