We supply a wide range of plastic handling products designed to optimise storage, transport and workflow across industries in the UK and beyond. One highly effective and space-saving solution within our range is our UK Foldable Crates, robust collapsible crates that help businesses improve efficiency while reducing return-logistics costs.
Foldable crates are especially popular in sectors such as light industry, food handling and retail logistics because they combine practical everyday use with simple space-saving features. When in use they function like a standard crate, and when not needed they collapse flat – freeing up valuable warehouse or vehicle space.
Key Features of Our UK Foldable Crates
These crates are designed with real-world workflows in mind, delivering both convenience and durability:
- Fast and Easy Folding Mechanism
These crates can be folded out or collapsed in under two seconds, making them quick to set up and quick to flatten for storage or transport. This speeds up handling tasks and contributes to smoother operations. - Space-Saving Design
When folded flat, they take up significantly less space than traditional fixed crates. This is particularly valuable for return logistics where maximising cube utilisation on empty return journeys reduces fuel costs and storage needs. - Ergonomic Handles
Built-in, easy-grip handles make manual handling more comfortable and safer for workers, helping to reduce fatigue during repeated movements. - Robust Construction
Made from durable, high-quality plastic, our crates withstand repeated use and heavy loads. Their structural integrity makes them suitable for a variety of applications, from store pick-ups to production line use.
Available Sizes and Options
We provide UK foldable crates in a range of sizes to suit different business needs:
- 400x300mm Crates – Compact and ideal for smaller items or light-duty tasks.
- 600x400mm Crates – A popular size for general warehouse use, offering strong stacking and airflow with perforated walls.
- 800x600mm Crates – Larger capacity options, including versions with open bases or picking windows, support bulkier loads.
Each option is built to integrate seamlessly with other Exporta Global products, such as dollies and trolleys, to support efficient movement and handling around your site.
Benefits for Your Business
Using foldable crates in your operation brings several tangible advantages:
