Used across Agriculture, Food Distribution Logistics, Supermarket, Supply Chain & Third Party Logistics (3PL), Winemaking / Winery, spec'd by operations, procurement and HSE teams that handle it daily.
Typical uses
- Picking, packing, storage and transport
- Ventilated storage of produce and breathable goods, sheds field heat and moisture
- Closed-loop / return logistics where empty space and freight matter
- Food, beverage and pharma handling where hygiene and wash-down matter
Why operations choose the BPB-K5724FV for produce handling and storage
- 1 Airflow that protects the load
Vented walls and base move air through the whole stack, shedding field heat, moisture and respiration gases, that is what keeps potatoes, onions and other produce firm and storing for longer instead of sweating and rotting in a sealed box.
- 2 Folds flat for the back-haul
Erected it stands 245 mm; collapsed it drops to 33 mm, roughly a 7.4:1 collapse. Empties ride back at a fraction of the cube, so return-freight and off-season storage stop eating your yard and your trailer space.
- 3 Hoses down to audit standard
Moulded in food-grade PP, non-absorbent, with no nails, splinters or porous timber to trap bacteria. It takes a hot wash-down between runs and holds up to HACCP-aligned sanitation, where timber and cardboard fail swab tests.
