Storage Solutions

IPL Material Handling offers its full line of SmartCrate hand-held, collapsible plastic containers. SmartCrates are returnable, collapsible containers originally developed for transporting perishables and other products to retail as well as plant-to-plant transfers of work-in-process materials.

These collapsible crates offer an intuitive 2-step assembly, high cube utilization, and a high return ratio, reducing handling, freight and storage costs when compared to single-use boxes or other returnable plastic containers. Additionally, the SmartCrates are 48-inches x 40-inches GMA pallet compatible and cross-stackable.

Cross-stacking features permit the layers of crates to interlock, thereby stabilizing the load. This reduces or eliminates the need for secondary packaging to secure the load. Reinforced corners and vertical walls allow for increased stacking strength than nestable containers.
